David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, tackles the burning question on every fan's mind: What's next for Lauri Markkanen? Locke predicts Markkanen will remain a key piece of the Jazz roster, likely still donning Utah colors when the team next makes a playoff appearance. He outlines the strategic reasons behind this, including salary cap considerations and the Jazz's long-term roster construction plans.

The episode also explores Kyle Filipowski's Summer League MVP performance and its implications for his development. Locke dissects Isaiah Collier's shooting concerns, drawing comparisons to other NBA guards with similar shot profiles. He wraps up by examining the restricted free agency landscape, pondering potential moves for players like Jonathan Kuminga and Josh Giddey, and how these market dynamics might influence Walker Kessler's upcoming contract negotiations with the Jazz.
