Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones
- Thread starter Elizah Huge

Yeah, god forbid the Jazz get a player that has any sort of intrigue to watch this season.
Yet he reports he’s apart of the trade discussions? Give me a break. I’m trusting Tony and Shams over Fischer regarding this.
Sounds like the Jazz might be folding a bit. Can't get the picks they want so they are now trying to offload long-term salary like Rudy Gay
I think he expects that the Jazz would've tried to flip him for more picks had they acquired him. He now no longer believes he will be involved in the deal,

No, we literally have to add salary to get RJ due to his 26.2M incoming salary and it’s either Gay or NAW to make it work.
Leon Rose is also fighting for his job. He is not gonna give it all up. Do a three team trade and move on. The Knicks want to be able to keep some.of their draft capital - Danny is not gonna see them crack. The Lakers don't care about their picks if they can elevate their team to a contender.
We’re either getting Grimes or swapping an unprotected 1st for a protected 1st in the deal.

I always suspected the Gobert-level deal was what would move Don. 3 Unps, 1 swap, 1 or 2 protected, young player, filler.
The Jazz would absolutely dump RJ For two more picks.
It's definitely the kind of move Ainge would make.
The poison pill makes a trade become kind of cumbersome. Probably you can't flip him, unless the other team is included in the deal or the Jazz wait a year to trade him.

I think they would... but what if you could do it for Bogey/Beasley/Vando etc.? Or get at least one for those guys.
If you have other deals lined up for those guys then sure. I tend to think Tony means the Jazz want RJ for themselves. I could see it either way... which is why this thing is so wild... it could all be true or false.

At this point, part of me hopes Ainge tells Rose to **** off and trades Donovan elsewhere. The Knicks have made this too much of a pain in the ***. I'll take plenty of pleasure watching a cap-strapped core of Brunson, Randle, and Barrett go absolutely nowhere.
