Lauri Markkanen officially signed a contract extension with the Utah Jazz, making him unavailable for trades until next offseason.

The Golden State Warriors are considering smaller moves instead of pursuing All-Stars Zach LaVine or Brandon Ingram.

With 14 players under contract, the Warriors are prepared for the season but are exploring smaller-scale trades.

LaVine's and Ingram's contracts raise questions about their value under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, impacting their desirability.

Despite losing Klay Thompson and Chris Paul, the Warriors improved their lineup by adding Buddy Hield, D’Anthony Melton, and Kyle Anderson, creating a better balance.
