Tony Jones: Have heard from multiple sources that Jazz star Lauri Markkanen is very happy with the Jackson deal

Shams Charania: The Jazz make a major swing for Jackson and team him with Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George, Walker Kessler and more. The move signals a full rebuild for the Grizzlies around its promising young core and now as many future first-round picks as any team in the NBA.

Drew Stevens: Lauri Markkanen is “doubtful” for Bulls/Jazz tonight

Jake Fischer: ‘I think Michael Porter Jr. makes total sense in Detroit. I have not been told yet that Detroit has called on Michael Porter Jr., but I have been told that they have at least discussed him internally and I think that makes a ton of sense because, as good as the Pistons are leading the Eastern Conference wire-to-wire here, they do not have a bona fide second scorer behind Cade Cunningham, and Michael Porter Jr. could be that guy. He is not an Anthony Davis or a Lauri Markkanen, who is going to cost you an arm and a leg in years of draft capital and also be on the books for 50, 60 million dollars moving forward. He's only at 38 right now, and I don't think he's in a position to be commanding 50, 60 million going forward.’

Andy Larsen: Jazz beat the Cavs 123-112. The duo of Keyonte George and Lauri Markkanen continues to be really, really impressive... they both shot 8-16 tonight in leading the Jazz to a win. The win moves the Jazz to a three-way tie in the tank race for now in the 7/8/9 slots.
