Could the Hawks benefit from Golden State's strong desire to acquire Lauri Markkanen from the Utah Jazz?
The rumors around trading the Jazz forward have persisted throughout the entire summer and things are starting to come to a conclusion. August 6 looms as a possible deadline because the window for Markkanen to negotiate an extension with the Jazz opens up by that date.
"There is a belief in some corners of the league that Utah’s interest in Golden State’s Brandon Podziemski, in combination with future draft compensation that the Warriors could package with the All-Rookie first team selection, is serious enough that it keeps alive the prospect of a Markkanen trade between now and Aug. 6.
"The San Antonio Spurs are willing to put in a third first-round pick and you can tell that they are seeing that they have to come with a sense of urgency to get this deal done. I’m telling you the Golden State Warriors, from what I was told yesterday, are firmly in the drivers seat to make this trade happen. There is no sense of urgency to make that deal happen now, today. The Jazz are going to drag this out as long as they can.
