Utah Jazz management is focused on re-signing Lauri Markkanen, but trade talks are heating up, particularly with the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors are interested in acquiring Markkanen but are hesitant due to Utah's high asking price.

The Jazz are looking for a package involving young talent and draft picks, but the Warriors are reluctant to part ways with their assets. The trade saga is set to reach a climax on August 6, when Markkanen is eligible for a contract extension.
