Why should this deal happen?

• Selling now is a good time for the Jazz, as he is in his prime and he regained his star aura thanks to the EuroBasket, and they would be wise not to wait anymore.

• Markkanen is everything the Pistons need in a wing: a strong scorer, floor spacer, and rebounder. While his contract is high, he will be snagged sooner rather than later since he could fit seamlessly with every team in the league.
