Although there are still approximately three months to go before the new campaign begins, the star of the Portland Trail Blazers He expressed to the franchise his desire to be transferred to find a challenge that would allow him fight for the ringsomething that he has not been able to during his stay in Oregon.
In a Western Conference where LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Stephen Curry are forming top-level teams to be able to redeem themselves for the last sports disappointment experienced last year and the surprise stars, in this section, the Utah Jazz.
The team lost a lot of competitive ability after the departures of Donovan Mitchell y Rudy Gobert last summer and, although the numbers of Lauri Markkanen They have been very gratifying, the Finnish guard has been too alone at the moment of truth.
