The Warriors are looking to capitalize on Stephen Curry's late career by fielding a competitive roster, having missed out on Paul George and Klay Thompson. They've been involved in the Markkanen Sweepstakes from the start and have recently engaged in talks with the Jazz.
The Spurs, on the other hand, are adding talent by incorporating savvy veterans like Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes with young talent like Victor Wembanyama. They are also pursuing Lauri Markkanen, indicating their interest in one of the league's top shooting big men.
Utah, despite receiving inquiries, doesn't seem keen on parting ways with Markkanen. If negotiations do occur, the presence of front office executive Danny Ainge suggests a strategic approach to maximizing assets, possibly influenced by the recent high-value Mikal Bridges trade.
