The Utah Jazz are shifting away from rebuilding and intend to bolster their roster around Lauri Markkanen, who is averaging a career-high 28.5 points in his ninth season and recently signed a four-year, $220 million extension. With the team seeking to return to playoff contention after three seasons, they are likely to be buyers in the upcoming trade season, as they have not reached the playoffs since 2021-22.
