Let's take a look at the thoughts of all parties first, on the Warriors' side, of course the management wants to strengthen the front line, after all, Dream Green is old, and Wiggins can't expect him to explode every game, Markkanen averaged 25+ per game last season, and the three-point point is getting more and more accurate, a proper star level, if he can come, the Warriors' offensive firepower is definitely the top in the league, just think about it!
The Jazz are not stupid, they have Markkanen's contract extension in their hands, they must want to get more wool, in addition to Moody and first-round picks, they also want Kuminga and Podemski, which is a bit of a lion's mouth
So what does Markkanen himself think? It is estimated that he is also quite entangled, staying in the Jazz, he is the absolute core, and the data is flying, but the Jazz is now a rebuilding team, and there is no prospect of winning the championship
Now it's up to the Warriors management to decide, Kuminga and Podemski improved a lot last season and showed great potential, Kuminga's physical fitness is strong, full of impact, and is expected to become an All-Star level forward in the future, although Podemski's offense is almost meaningless, but the defense is active, and the rebounding is fierce, which is the blue-collar interior line that the Warriors need
If I were Myers, I would definitely be reluctant to let go of these two young men, Kuminga is only 20 years old, there is still a lot of room for growth, and Podemski's contract is also very cheap and cost-effective, and trading them away is tantamount to giving up the future
If the Warriors can impress the Jazz with other chips, such as sending some future first-round picks, it can also be considered, after all, Markkanen is in his prime and can immediately improve the team's strength
Assuming a deal does go through, how will Markkanen fit into the Warriors' system? I think he can play power forward, partnering with Dream Green, Markkanen pulls to the outside to shoot three-pointers, and Dream Chase organizes offense on the inside, thinking about it is full of pictures! And Markkanen's defense is not bad, and he can protect the basket with Dream
All this is just hypothetical, and the final outcome depends on the game of all parties, but one thing is for sure, the Warriors management will definitely go all out for the championship!
