Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones

[idiot]

Saw a tweet earlier saying that media will not be invited to the Brunson introduction tomorrow. Likely don't want questions about DM dominating the occasion.

Won’t matter. Their big FA acquisition is being way overshadowed by the deal they haven’t made yet. Spotlight is only going to get brighter starting tomorrow.

So does this mean things are back on track? :

Its official... tomorrow is today!!!!!

One thing to note... Pat Riley is Heat Culture... Pat is 77 years old. I would doubt he is in charge in 2027... but who knows.

Jerry West is 84 and people say he's in charge of Clippers so......

Make those Knicks picks Top 1 protected and called it a day.

If they want to protect the picks then they leave themselves open to the Heat offer being better. If there isn't at least 3 unprotected Knicks picks in the deal then Danny failed.

They have the deepest front office in the league... West is one voice. Riley very well may be there... but 77+ is an age where there should be zero assumptions about availability.

I saw Riley in person not long ago. Dude looks like he is in his early 50's.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Holy crap this made me laugh outloud.

Keefe is a funny guy

We need at least three 1sts that aren’t protected more than about top 3-5. Then one more that is protected top 15. And a couple swaps. Or the Knicks can kindly **** off.

 

[PresidioTrojan]

If NYK doesn’t want to give up any unprotected picks they can **** right off. Would rather keep Don in that case.

The Heat picks unprotected are better than the Knicks picks if they are protected. That is the only way we get future upside. I'd say 23/25/27 all need to be unprotected... 29 can have top 4 protection if they must.

Yup. And that's the attitude we should have. Take a year with Donovan being "injured" like David Robinson and then pair him up with a top 4 draft pick this year plus a bunch of expiring contracts.

And ask NY how ya like these apples.

If Donovan doesn't like it then whoopedeedoo.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Im preparing myself for disappointment.

We all know Donovan isnt worth 4 unprotected Knicks picks. We are talking about getting a top 10 package for a guy who is, at best, top 30.

It’s not that black and white though. The Knicks top 6 protected is a faaaaar better pick than unprotected Heat picks. The Heat are an elite, well-run organization and I can’t imagine they are in the lottery in the next few years. That’s something the Knicks only aspire to.

If I'm Danny, I go on vacation to Sardinia until mid August.

 

[Maneesh]

They are very furious at Numberica and Eliza at real GM. They want us to surrender

Nah... keep the faith... he is headed into his prime and wants to be with the Knicks (a problem for them in the past). If they don't come with at least 3 unprotected picks they can take a walk.
