In the trade, the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired a star player from Utah Donovan Mitchell. In addition to Markkanen, there are people traveling in the other direction in the store Ochair Agbaji, Collin Sexton and booking shifts.
Lauri Markkanen’s time in Cleveland, 25, was ultimately short. Markkanen, who started his NBA career with the Chicago Bulls, moved to Cleveland a year ago.
Markkanen got a slightly new role in Cleveland, when he was played in the small winger position, i.e. the third position. Previously, Markkanen had played in the NBA as a big winger and center.
The Utah Jazz, on the other hand, advanced to the playoffs, but were immediately eliminated in the opening round. At the moment, the Utah Jazz are probably in a rebuilding phase.
The club has sold its biggest star players elsewhere during the summer Rudy Gobert’s and Mitchell’s. So it seems that Utah is currently investing more in the future than the success of next season.
The NBA Regular Season starts on October 18. Markkanes starts his sixth NBA season.
