On June 10, NBA reporter Evan Stilry retweeted the news from the famous Bill Simmons podcast: A league source said that the Utah Jazz are willing to hear a quote about Laurie Markanen! You know, Marca signed a four-year maximum salary contract of 195.8 million yuan with Jazz last year, and this contract is about to take effect! Not long after the contract was renewed, Jazz was planning to put people on the shelves? Is there anything unknown inside story?

reported on the 10th that this upcoming contract is a real maximum salary, with Marca's salary in the 25-26 season being 46.39 million, and it is an incremental contract, which is as high as 53.53 million US dollars in the 28-29 season. The key is that there are no player options or team options. At this time, I released the news that I was willing to listen to the quotation. Is Jazz planning to completely rebuild, or does he have other plans for Marca's future? You should know that Marca's performance this season is remarkable, averaging 19 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Such a player was suddenly put on the shelves, and the signal behind it is so interesting.

Speaking of which, Marca's performance this season has indeed had highlights, with a shooting percentage of 42.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.6%, which is quite good for a 7-foot forward. And just a day ago, US media M Sports also wrote an article saying that if the Los Angeles Lakers can trade Markkanen and LeBron, they have a lot of hope to win the NBA championship. Lake media Playoff LAL even simulated a trading plan: the Lakers sent out a bunch of players such as Hachimura, Reeves, Vincent, etc., plus multiple first-round picks and swap rights, in exchange for Markanen and Walker Kessler. Kessler is also very good. This season, he averaged 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 66.2%. Tell me, if this really happens, the Lakers start to become Doncic, Finney Smith, Markcanen, James, and Kessler. This lineup is terrifying to think about it. This is the rhythm of taking off directly! But the question is, will the Jazz really agree to such a deal? How much does the Lakers have to pay to get someone?

At present, the rumors of Markkanen's transaction have been very sensational, and the Jazz's attitude is unpredictable. The Lakers seem to be ready to go, and other teams may also be observing them secretly. Next, can this transaction be successful? If Markkanen really joins the Lakers, will the pattern of the West change? What kind of spark can the combination of LeBron and Marca create? All of this is still unknown, but it is certain that this summer in the NBA will probably not be calm.
