NBA Shockwaves Ahead: Top 10 Players Poised for Stunning Trades in 2025-26 Season

Lauri Markkanen (Jazz)

Markkanen has made it clear: He likes Utah and would like to stay there. He’s also a 28-year-old All-Star on a rebuilding team that doesn’t really need him. Put Markkanen on an up-and-coming team that is a piece away — Hello Detroit! — and he can vault a team up to contender status. Utah is reportedly willing to listen to offers.

The challenge, and the reason Markkanen may get his wish to stay put, is his contract: Markkanen will make $46.4 million this season, the first year of a four-year, $195.9 million extension. For the same reason it would be tough to move Antetokounmpo during the season, a Markkanen trade will be a challenge to put together. Utah would just be more willing than Milwaukee to figure out how to get it done (although the Ainge family never makes it easy on the other side).
