Is Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen a realistic trade target for the San Antonio Spurs?

How realistic is it that the Spurs could pry loose the Finnish big man, and how good is the fit in San Antonio

We have been hearing rumbles about the possibility of pairing star San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama with a bona fide star in the league to speed up the rebuild around Wemby next season. And more recently, a few names have been floated as potential targets for the Spurs’ front office to target.

One name in particular that has captured the imagination of San Antonio fans is that of Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen. But how realistic is it that the Spurs could pry loose the Finnish big man, and how good is the fit in San Antonio given the likely steep asking price?

The folks behind the “TSR Sports” YouTube channel recently took a magnifying glass to such rumbles with the same questions in mind.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear their take on whether it makes sense for the Spurs to try to trade for The Finisher this offseason.
