Trade Explanation;

Detroit go all-in and put themselves even more in title contention, a wing like Markkanen would be a perfect fit for Cade and Duren. Finals in the way!

For Utah it’s simple, the addition of Ivey makes their young core one of the best in the league. Develop the players they have now and the future draft picks should be their priority, with the aim to be competitive in the next 2/3 years already.
