At 11:00 pm on August 7th, Beijing time, according to ESPN reporter Woj,The Jazz extended Markkanen's contract with 238 million US dollars for 5 years in advance!According to NBA regulations, the Jazz cannot trade Markkanen next season, and the earliest they can do so is next offseason. The Warriors pursued him for a whole summer, and Kuminga was used as a bargaining chip, but Markkanen stayed with the Jazz.

Markkanen's contract is a little complicated: he had one year and $18 million left on his original contract, and the total amount of the new contract is actually $220 million, for a total of $238 million.After the contract extension, Markkanen's salary next season will increase by $24 million (to $42 million), and his salary for the remaining four years will total $196 million.

During this offseason, teams including the Warriors, Spurs, and Kings all made offers to the Jazz, but unfortunately, these offers did not satisfy Ainge.The Jazz wanted Moody + Kuminga + Podemsky + multiple first-round picks, but the Warriors decisively refused.The Warriors regard Podemsky as a non-saleable player, but Kuminga and Moody can be traded.
