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

[hgb]

Chris Mannix on his pod today said he thinks Ainge would value Barrett and want him in the deal.

I would think we'd love to get Barrett, since he has a bunch of value. Not sure we want him to stay.

Hopefully, Ainge has asked for all the picks, swaps, Barrett, Toppin, Quickley, Grimes and McBride.

Let them get desperate as training camp comes around and take everything you can from them.

Jazz are giving up their 25 year old, 3 time All Star player (who is a native New Yorker) with 3 years still on his (at the moment reasonable) contract. It should hurt for them to get him. Glad Danny Ainge us running things instead of DL.

 

[Elizah Huge]

It would be advantageous for us to get Barrett or Herro and extend them. **** trading them for extra picks. At some point we need actual players and both of those guys are going to be awesome. I’m higher on Herro than Barrett but they’re similar value wise.

 

[Elizah Huge]

We aren’t building around Herro, we are building using picks, we need the Knicks unprotected picks and we need to suck next year. Why do you think the jazz aren’t interested in RJ? So, why would we have interest in Herro? We need the Knicks unprotected picks, this is why we’ve essentially only had major conversations with the Knicks.

You are sorely mistaken.

Chris Mannix on his pod today said he thinks Ainge would value Barrett and want him in the deal.

Which makes all of the sense in the world vs what has been getting reported.

 

[Elizah Huge]

We would be flipping Herro for more picks.

No… we wouldn’t.

 

[TheStormofWar]

No… we wouldn’t.

If the Jazz don't want Barrett because they don't want to pay him, they wouldn't be keeping Herro either.

If you logically think about it why wouldn’t we want Barrett or Herro?

 

[Ineptimusprime]

Okay, this has officially gone on far too long. Time for the Knicks to quit playing tough on this.

 

[Elizah Huge]

@kcgar please explain why we wouldn’t want Barrett or Herro.

 

[MeloTheJazzKiller]

Come on, man. If you almost get LeBron, Durant, Zion, and Lillard,

We almost got Curry, too. One draft pick away. He was ours.
We are the best almost team in history.

 

[TheStormofWar]

If you logically think about it why wouldn’t we want Barrett or Herro?

More picks and cap flexibility.
