While a trade for Lauri Markkanen does not appear imminent between Golden State and Utah, the Warriors have various appealing assets that the Jazz could pick from.

The Athletic's Shams Charania reported on July that the Warriors are willing to include Moody in a trade. He added that the Jazz would like him but want a lot more than him alone. Moody is a youngster who would fit the Jazz's timeline. Unfortunately, his progress, while noticeable, has been slow.
The problem with Moody is that he still hasn't gained Steve Kerr's trust three years into his NBA career. Moody didn't appear in the Warriors play-in game against the Kings, which doesn't reflect well on his value as player.
He might thrive in a pressure-free environment in Utah, but the Jazz may not feel great if he's the best they can get in exchange for Markkanen.
