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

Can anybody explain the beef Tony got into on twitter a few hours ago regarding Westbrook? I am not well versed in Twitter enough to walk back the origin of the heated discussion.

I didn't see all of it, but it was about this video...Tony was all upset because he thought Sochan was disrespecting Westbrook. He kept bitching about how Westbrook is a hall of famer and Sochan is a rookie who hasn't proved anything on the court yet and he should show Westbrook some respect.

I agree with that as well.

On a side note Knicks fans think they can sneak a Randle/Bogey swap in the deal lmao. Might be the funniest thing I’ve seen all week. Unless they’re sending literally all 8 of their 1sts including 3 pick swaps that isn’t happening.
I might have to hop onto realgm and break the bad news that no one but the most junk franchises in the NBA would touch Julius Randle with a ten foot pole.

Apparently this guy reported the Fournier signing before anyone else and a few other things.

It completes the trifecta of random internet sources. @bigmike said a deal was agreed upon, ICC from the Heat forum said the Heat were notified that they were out of the running and now this.

If I had to guess…

The realgm Knicks forum are eating up bigmike as a big source, and this guy eats up realgm Knicks forum and appropriates the same phraseology.

Dude is probably just citing me for putting IceColdCubano and BigMike together in one post here. :D
 
I stopped following jazz for a couple of years so can someone remind me why I am supposed to be excited about trading a young star who is under contract and not a knucklehead? For picks? I remember when our last pile of picks netted us Kanter, Burke and Exum.

And if another team...say Minnesota or Sacramento or Charlotte parted ways with their GM, and their coach, and traded their best players for trade able contracts and draft picks....I would conclude the team was being sold. Why am I not worried about the Seattle Jazz?

Because the goal is to build a team that can make the NBA Finals rather than a team that loses in the 1st round. That's what the new management is doing.
