Some NBA players just need the right team to figure themselves out. Lauri Markkanen is a perfect example of this because he never quite found his footing until the Utah Jazz made him their guy in his seventh NBA season. One player who's followed in Markkanen's footsteps is Michael Porter Jr., who has not only broken out in Brooklyn but is also perhaps the biggest name on the trade market.
If the Nets pull the trigger on a Porter trade, that could give the Jazz a good hint of what they would get in a Markkanen trade (even if everyone knows by now that, currently, a trade won't happen).
