The Jazz can’t trade Markkanen for six months after re-signing him thanks to the collective bargaining agreement. If he had signed on Tuesday, Utah could’ve moved him on the day of the 2025 trade deadline (Feb. 6 at 3 p.m. ET). Doing so from Wednesday means he’s locked in for the entire 2024-25 season.
Thankfully I think you’ll just need to wait 1 more year since I think he gets traded next offseason since the Jazz are rebuilding so his timeline doesn’t line up.
It definitely would be to a team that’s at the very least a play in team trying to make a more solid push since any other rebuilding teams wouldn’t give up the assets.
