The future of Finnish big man Lauri Markkanen remains uncertain. The former Arizona alum wants to find a new home after the end of his contract with the Chicago Bulls but so far there's not a clear frontrunner to sign him.

According to Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer, the Dallas Mavericks are among the teams that are following his situation.

"One other team to watch for Markkanen is the Dallas Mavericks. I've heard they also have interest, so there are some sign-and-trade scenarios involving him with Dallas and Charlotte," O'Connor said during a recent episode of 'The Mismatch' podcast.

Markkanen started only 26 games last season and averaged 13.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, the worst averages of his career so far. Since the arrival of Nikola Vucevic in Chicago at the trade deadline, it was clear that Markkanen had no longer a place in Chicago's plans for the future.
