Ah! US media simulates Spurs for 1 in 3! Markanen joins forces with Wenban Yama

The US media simulated a 3-for-1 trading plan, as follows:

The Spurs got Markkanen;

The Jazz got Sohan, Wassel and Kelden Johnson.

In this year's European Championship, Markkanen led the Finnish men's basketball team to the semi-finals. The tournament averaged 23.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, and was selected for the second team of the best team. The remaining four were Jokic (Serbia), Avdia (Israel), Ottoman and Lloyd (Poland).

The first team is Schroeder (Germany), Doncic (Slovenia), Wagner Jr. (Germany), Antetokounmpo (Greece) and Shinkin (Turkey).

Markanen played in the Jazz last season, playing 47 regular season games, averaging 31.4 minutes per game, contributing 19 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists, with three shooting percentages of 42.3%, 34.6% and 87.6%. The contract being executed expires in the summer of 29, and its salary in the next four seasons is as high as US$46.39 million, US$46.11 million, US$49.82 million and US$53.54 million respectively.

Although Markanen's performance in the Jazz in 24-25 season was not satisfactory, he is undoubtedly an NBA All-Star insider. If he can bring his talent to San Antonio, it will obviously greatly enhance the Spurs' hope of rushing to the playoffs. His combination with Vinban Yama will also be the strongest double tower in the league.

Markanin and Vinban Yama are all-around inside and outside, and they can be both with and without the ball. There is no obvious position or ball conflict. In particular, the Spurs now have 3 talented defenders (Fox, Castle and Harper) that are enough to feed them both. In short, this lineup is quite worth looking forward to, and it can also be achieved in the Wild West.

However, according to previous reports, the Jazz's asking price for Markkanen has always been very high. If the Spurs only provide 3 players as bargaining chips, they cannot meet the requirements, they must add multiple draft picks on this basis, especially first-round picks. You should know that there are many teams greedy for this 28-year-old insider. They will only choose the team with the highest sincerity for substantial transaction negotiations.

In fact, in the offseason last year, the Warriors almost got Markkanen, but because they refused to leave Podjsky/Kuminga, the deal was eventually declared a failure.
