In the most recent episode of the Lowe Post podcast, Zach Lowe noted that the Miami Heat have shown interest in acquiring Lauri Markkanen.
At 34 minutes and 10 seconds into the podcast, Zach Lowe mentions that he is aware of the Miami Heat’s interest in Lauri Markkanen but questions whether they possess the necessary assets to secure a trade for him. Additionally, he expresses uncertainty about whether the Utah Jazz are willing to part ways with Markkanen.
This serves as a reminder that several teams remain interested in the Jazz forward. However, any team looking to acquire him will need to offer a significant package. Danny Ainge is committed to making moves that he believes will elevate the Jazz to championship contention. To part with Markkanen, the Jazz are evidently expecting a substantial offer. Upon reviewing the Miami Heat’s draft picks, many are already committed to other teams and cannot be traded. Therefore, Miami’s interest in Markkanen might be part of their usual interest in numerous players rather than a feasible trade scenario.
