Towards a “sign-and-trade” for Lauri Markkanen | NBA
According to Hoopshype, the leaders of Chicago and Lauri Markkanen would have agreed to set up a « sign-and-trade » if the Finn accepts an offer from another franchise. This operation would allow Chicago, which has activated its “qualifying Offer” to obtain a counterpart in the event of a possible departure from its interior, eager to find a more important role far from Illinois.
Several teams would be in line to recover Lauri Markkanen including San Antonio and Oklahoma City according to HoopsHype. It remains to be seen what these two franchises can put in the balance to snatch the Finn. Also to watch, the Wolves who are still looking for a strong winger and who have the means to afford a good player. Remember, moreover, that Markkanen and Wolves are linked since the Finn joined the Bulls on the evening of his Draft with Zach LaVine, in exchange for Jimmy Butler.
