— Trade Explanation:

SAS: It’s time for San Antonio to make a big move, when you have a freak like Wemby and Fox at 1, you don’t need another young guard to develop, what you need is a third all-star caliber player and that guy is Lauri Markkanen for sure. He would fit really good in my opinion with them, and most important thing he would give to Spurs spacing and three points shooting.

UTAH: For Utah it’s simple, the addition of a prospect like Harper make 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.
