Warriors Trade Rumor: this player is untouchable in a Lauri Markkanen trade

The latest Lauri Markkanen and Golden State Warriors news today is that in the trade talks with the Utah Jazz, the Warriors have a specific player they don't want to trade to the Jazz. This matches up with the other trade rumors we've seen recently and makes sense with who the Warriors would like to pair up with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. The most important thing is to do what Steph Curry wants and if the Warriors get pressure from him, they may do it!

Jazz just need to sign an extension with Markkenen and be done with this nonsense.

[brianbrockhoff]

No. Pods to Utah or no deal. If the Warriors are serious about giving Curry one more championship opportunity, they meet Ainge's price. Pods is good and compensates the well for trading away a high level player in Lauri.

Get over it Warriors, you have a couple years with Steff, if you do NOT get a major player to go with Steff this year, your only choice is to tear it all down and tank for the next several years. Age affects all of us. If Lauri is your shot at one more championship, then you do everything in your power to get him, if not tear it all down next summer. You will not get anything for Green and next summer maybe 1 late first for Steff. Lauri is your only chance for one more championship before you blow it up. The Jazz have been in existance for 50 years and never won a championship, you have won 7 in the last 77 years. Championships are almost impossible to win, if you have a shot, then best to take that shot. Because you will be rebuilding in the next few years anyway.

Brandon pods is a player who I would DEFINITELY WANT on my roster

[navajohnny]

Why we trying to make the warriors good?

[jonthehermit]

Starting to think we shouldn’t take jazz trade rumors too seriously, kind of been a constant since ainge took over, ainge always looking to fleece, you gotta pay more than he’s worth or he stays here.

[Shroomy]

If Lauri can improve his passing, he could have top 5 player potential. His passing is the only weak spot I can see in his game.

[oliverjones]

I got the 2nd view!😊😊😊 is there going to be a live stream about the summer league game today???

[WineSippingCowboy]

GSW will not trade Podz, TJD or many draft picks to get Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler or any other player. Owner Joe Lacob does not want to get had on wasted trades. He said so in an interview this week.

[anthonywlong]

It’s better for the Warriors and the Jazz to trade Podz. Warriors have an excess of guards and PG’s such as Curry, Reese Beekman, and Gary Payton II. It makes sense for the Jazz because if they get Cooper Flagg he and Kuminga play the same position so it doesn’t make sense to pay both big $

[jayrajdeshmukh]

What part of podz taking shots, running around for defense, contesting shots and the most charges in the team do they not understand! Fans are ctazy they think Mike Dunleay/any team's FO is sitting there eating french fries and scrolling twitter all day! Fans need to grow up and understand assests, cap space, future picks, current trend, future trend, current playstyles, future playstyle, etc.

[btltyler]

They just got buddy hield give him up steph buddy kuminga lauri is a scary lineup

[hoesnyhamid]

keep spinning the fact the fact warriors do not have enough assets to make the trade, last time kuminga is untouchable now podz. i think the situation is like this, jazz tell warriors we got offer from spurs, maybe like 4 unprotected 1st, oh we cant give 4 1st, how about we give you 2 1st podz, kuminga moody. jazz nope, we dont want kuminga, moody because they only have 1 year left in their rookie contract and they are not even starter quality players difficult for us to extend them. jazz to match 4 unprotected 1st, you should offer us 3 unprotected 1st, 4 unprotected swap and maybe podz to sweeten the pot. warriors we could not afford thatm jazz ok, well take spurs offer then, warriors, please take podz 2 1st, kumninga and moody, and wiggis for good measure jazz nope we want at least 3 1st...// since atl can get 2 1st for murray while spurs get 3 1st for murray. thenwarriors say we cant make the deal since jazz asking too much, the actual fact, warriors want lAURI FOR a lot LESS THAN MARKET PRICE AND them blame jazz being too greedy. the worst acomical comment from yhr=e monte show, hoping markkanen taking 7-8m less than his max to be with warriors wg=hat a bs. if warriors want lauri, warriors better prepare to pay him 30% max contract next season in fa around 45-50m ayear. if not dont dream of getting lauri. in fact imho, warriors should tank this season, focus on getting their cap shape good for 1-2y especially after clearing wiggins and draymond contract. getting lauri not only make warriors draft assets dry but putting extra 45-50m a year for the next 5y, you'll most probably never escape cap hell if that happens

[Trumpisawsome]

Are the warriors trying to sell us on garbage that the warriors have sorry just stop the warriors are not getting lauri markkanen these trade talks are stupid I'm done

[anthonywlong]

Why do you want to extend Markannen? He’s good and you’re trying to tank for players like Cooper Flagg. It doesn’t make sense to keep him

[kennethdelacruz]

Warriors we want markannen but qe don't want give our asset, jazz are ni dumb to make trade for moody and Wiggins,

[stevenwells]

I’d rather have pods and a couple of picks for a few years from now after Steph is gone. Kuminga can’t shoot.

[mtgherman]

Why are you shilling for warriors fans now? You're so hooked on blowing this up and tanking for a 14% chance at Flagg that you're pitching warriors trades for them. What happened to this channel?

[tittlywinker]

If it’s going to be GSW Utah should trade Lauri for all their picks and podz and moody and add clarkson and/or sexton if that gets kuminga in the deal Jazz can take Wiggins and try to flip him and/or kuminga to San Antonio for another pick. Remember how we just had a 6 team trade..

[nicholaswilkerson]

huh? you just said kuminga nd Laurie play the same position? what are you is a 7ft center where Kuminga is a high flying wing similar to wiggs. Warriors need a good fit center. draymond can only do so much and looney/Trace are great but to small as we saw last season. teams are only getting bigger. we shouldn't trade either Pods or Kuminga period. Honestly i would throw wiggs at them and trace before i trade Kuminga or pods
