According to Haynes, the Jazz are willing to trade Markkanen to the Spurs, and the specific trade plan is for the Spurs to send Johnson + Collins + 4 first-round picks to get the Jazz Markkanen. The Spurs are very active this offseason, first using the No. 4 pick in the draft to select UConn guard Stephen Castle, then signing Paul Sr. for 1 year and 11 million in the free market, and now 7 for 1 to get Markkanen, the Spurs are going to return to the championship ranks!
Markkanen
You must know that after Markkanen moved from the Cavaliers to the Jazz, his personal strength improved rapidly, and he was selected to the All-Star team that season with an average of 25.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, and an average of 39.3% shooting per game and 3 three-pointers. Although plagued by injuries this season, he still averaged 23.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2 assists per game, hit 3.2 three-pointers per game, and shot 39.9% from three-point range, and his personal shooting rate was infinitely close to 180 clubs.

And the Spurs, after having the once-in-a-century champion Wembanyama, are now introducing Markkanen, who can play both center and striker, the purpose is very obvious, just to reduce the burden on Wembanyama! The two-horse combination composed of the two, coupled with the experience of the old guns, and the coaching of Popovich, the Spurs next season are very optimistic to the outside world!
Wembanyama and Paul
Here I have to admire the operation of Jazz general manager Angie, who reached a 1-for-10 operation with the Timberwolves, and then reached a 1-for-9 deal with the Cavaliers for Mitchell, which shocked the existence of the league. And Markkanen is one of the chips in trading Mitchell, and now he is using Maca 1 for 7, and he directly uses Mitchell 1 for 16.
Gobert and Mitchell
And don't forget, in the chips of trading Marca, Johnson's value is not low, he played an average of 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game last season, and he will only be 24 years old next season.
