The Utah Jazz enter this season with a lot less question marks than in years past. This offseason, Austin Ainge finally traded Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton, and John Collins which has freed up the minutes
for their youth to play and develop. It was refreshing to see the Jazz make moves with their team goals in mind and not just only making moves that “win the trade.”
That said, there are still a few question marks for this Jazz team. The big one is with Lauri Markkanen. Will he be on this team by the end of the season? We know there are teams that are interested, the question is will they make an offer Utah wants?
On top of the conflicting timeline with Lauri Markkanen, what happens with Walker Kessler and his contract? Yes, it makes sense to go into restricted free agency with Kessler this upcoming offseason, but what if a team gives a big time offer to Kessler that Utah doesn’t actually want to match. Would Utah want to make a move in advance to avoid losing him for nothing if something like that happened?
Let us know, do you think Lauri Markkanen and/or Walker Kessler are on the Jazz at the end of the season?
