Ranking the 7 best assets Jazz can receive from Golden State in Lauri Markkanen trade
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.

4. Trayce Jackson-Davis
Jackson-Davis' name has not appeared much in the reports tying Markkanen to the Warriors. That's a shame because he looks promising as a young center. Shooting 70.4% from the floor while also leading the Warriors in blocks shows that Jackson-Davis should pan out at the very least as a rotation center.
A potential two-way shot-blocker who has touch around the rim and still has three years left on his rookie deal would make any young team salivate. Even though the Jazz have Walker Kessler, who's to say having TJD as his backup of the future wouldn't be the worst idea?
Again, his name hasn't come up, but that could change as the Jazz and Warriors talk more about Markkanen in the coming weeks.
