The Jazz can't trade Markkanen for six months after re-signing him thanks to the collective bargaining agreement. If he had signed on Tuesday, Utah could've moved him on the day of the 2025 trade deadline (Feb. 6 at 3 p.m. ET). Doing so from Wednesday means he's locked in for the entire 2024-25 season.

Congratulations to him! This also means that teams might finally start making trades now that the main guy available is off the table.

As a Finn I’m super glad that Markkanen got his bag but many of the fans here are tired of him spending his years in crappy teams with no playoffs. Also many fans here are hoping that Jazz would get a veteran guard with playmaking skills. If Ainge doesnt start making moves to improve the team, Lauri is probably gone after next season when Ainge finds a good deal.

Thankfully I think you’ll just need to wait 1 more year since I think he gets traded next offseason since the Jazz are rebuilding so his timeline doesn’t line up.

It definitely would be to a team that’s at the very least a play in team trying to make a more solid push since any other rebuilding teams wouldn’t give up the assets.
