What is the latest news on the rumors tying the San Antonio Spurs to Utah Jazz star forward Lauri Markkanen? Earlier last week, the news broke of the Spurs front office being one of the ball clubs looking to pry the Finnish forward away from a rebuilding Jazz team.
The Golden State Warriors were rumored to be in heavy pursuit, but they also have little in the way of an offer to pony up without dealing players that would render such a move mostly a lateral one. Could the Spurs find a way to get into the mix for Markkanen’s contract with a pick-heavy offer to the famously shrewd Utah team president Danny Ainge?
To talk it over, the host of the “Locked On Spurs” podcast, Jeff Garcia, sat down with San Antonio Sports Star’s James Pledger on a recent episode of the show. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about the prospect of Lauri in San Antonio this season.
