The Utah Jazz have been trying to lure Lauri Markkanen out of Salt Lake City for years, but he has almost instantly emerged as a legitimate building block in Utah. Fresh off a career year, averaging 26.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, and 47.7% shooting from field goal range and 35.5% from beyond the arc, convincing the Jazz to move on from their star forward may be harder than ever. The possibility of pairing Markkanen alongside star Cade Cunningham to alleviate the offensive burden from the All-NBA guard makes at least calling the Jazz a no-brainer decision. A two-man game of Cunningham and Markkanen would feed families, and it could immediately be a move that gives the Pistons' long-term upside rather than mortgaging their future away for an aging veteran that provides short-term relief. Landing Markkanen will almost certainly be a tall task for the Pistons to accomplish, but there are multiple frameworks of a deal that could turn the impossible into a dream offseason. The first option on the table would involve a sign-and-trade with restricted free agent Jalen Duren, whose future in the Motor City is already in question. It's essential to remember the Jazz are still rebuilding, and if they don't deem a trade worth their while, they likely won't consider it. In the same breath, though, if an offer is made, it could be a move that gives the Pistons the boost they need to compete with the top teams in the league.
