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

Overall I just trust Ainge if he's willing to wait it out.

I also trust that the Knicks will be very disappointing next year and the value of their young player assets will drop.

It would also be great if the Knicks start out like 4-10 and Evan Fournier is just playing like complete *** and RJ Barrett is actually putting up great stats.

Then the Jazz would have some leverage in being like "Yeah, yall could be great if you dropped Fournier and added Mitchell".

Half assing it is the worst strategy of them all. Either go all in around Donovan or ship him out and tank for a generational player or two... You cannot tank with Donovan on the roster unless he gets injured. He raises the floor of this team too much. We will be .500 team and will get pick 13, 22 and 27 and will be lucky to pick a single starter out of those picks.

Donovan is not a floor raiser in the slightest.

The Thunder have been tanking just fine with a player better than Donovan.
 
The Houston Rockets were a rock-bottom lottery team with Christian Wood, De'Sean Tate, Jalen Green, Eric Gordon and Kevin Porter Jr. Surely, if they can lose games, we can figure out how to lose games too.
 
BTW worth pointing out that even if we win 5 games we get only 14% chance of picking no.1 and about 30% of picking 1 or 2... The NBA really made it a crapshoot.
 
Like yall think Donovan is going to start trying on defense if the Jazz are so ****ing bad he has to literally do everything on offense while the Jazz are losing a ton of games?

Get ****ing real.
 
Jazz lost their two best defenders.

Donovan has no one to cover for him defensively anymore.

If they trade Bogey/Conley he will have much less floor spacing than he has ever had.

It's going to be ugly.

He's not better than Donovan in the things that matter when you have noone on your roster. IMO he might be better on a roster that actually has legit players. Donovan had very little help creating offense for this team and was still pretty good at it and was the no. 1 option on the no. 1 offensive team in the league. Now, Gobert had big impact with his efficiency and screen setting, but I can absolutely see a team with scrubs and Donovan still being about 10th in the league offensively.

They've had to sit said player a lot in order to do record maintenance. Think that **** gonna fly with Donovan.

I just don't think they will go full G League guys and Don... so overall I'd say Donovan is a +10 in the win column... because they keep some of the useful players with him and he is going to be much better than whoever replaces him.
