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

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Shai is better than everything there is in basketball than Donovan other than 3pt shooting.

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.

Donovan has a history of foot issues. He's going to want to sit so he can avoid the slander for how much the team is losing.

Ainge is 100% in the driver's seat.

I saw that most NBA front offices are on vacation for the next six weeks. Perhaps nothing gets done until camp starts.

I think the Jazz should push this until the trade deadline. Make sure the Knicks are headed for the lottery.

Donovan's athleticism gives him an advantage breaking the paint and playmaking vs. SGA. You do tend to underrate Donovan.

WHAT?

Stitches you are on one right now.

Who else was creating consistent efficient offense for this team? Clarkson is a chucker, Bojan is more a finisher/shooter than a creator, Gobert is a finisher, Royce is a finisher/shooter. I guess Conley? But he was very far from any consistency.

Yeah and I mean the odds are not crazy different from like 5/6 to bottom 3. Ainge can do what he wants here... I will trust the Evil Emperor.

San Antonio, Orlando, OKC (but maybe not), Utah, and I think Charlotte will be the big players in the "Tank 23 for Wemby" campaign. All have better or comparable rosters to us. We fine either way.

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.

By dropping Don now we can probably 100% bank on being dead last and at least giving us the best odd at the #1 pick. Dead last should be the goal. That’s what I’m rooting for. Especially when the number one pick is generational, we could get Durant and Gobert rolled into one player.

I think we can duck Orlando. Paolo is going to have an impact with Franz and Wendell, and they may get something from Jonathan Isaac this year. They still have guards who can make plays, including Markelle Fultz who may be getting a bit underrated.

We might even be able to duck Detroit, though that could be close.

Cy tends to go too far sometimes. Like we know Donovan isn’t a top-10 player but acting like he isn’t a floor raiser or a better player than Shai is too much for me.

Say it with me: Walker Kessler, Jared Vanderbilt and Simone Fontecchio.

Melodramatic, overexaggerating and often incorrect is he
