After leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers and coming to the Utah Jazz via a trade, Lauri Markkanen has been having the season of his life in the NBA. His new club is now responding to the Finnish forward's play on the court.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Jazz are being regarded as clear sellers as the trade deadline approaches. There is a rising belief in the league, Stein notes, that almost every single player on the roster is open to be traded.

However, two of the members of the roster are considered untradeable - Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler.

The Finnish forward is averaging 24.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game this season, a significant improvement over last year's averages of 14.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists.

Markkanen is currently 7th in the Western Conference All-Star voting among forwards.
