While talks haven't necessarily progressed between the Utah Jazz and Golden State Warriors regarding a potential Lauri Markkanen trade, that doesn't mean talks won't intensify between now and when the 2024-25 season starts.

The Jazz will continue to ask for the farm for Markkanen because they have no reason not to. If the Warriors won't give them what they want, they'll just extend Markkanen and suddenly he won't be as cheap as he once was.

Expect talks to intensify as time goes on. The Jazz will likely stick to their preferred package because they know there's a time clock. If the Warriors play their game, there are multiple assets the Jazz can choose from in a potential Markkanen trade.
