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

I think it’s possible that the Donovan Knicks are never actually good so that’s why I’m still hunting for a ‘24 swap that is functional.

Here’s what I’m thinking currently: say they can get a protected first in ‘24 that is likely to convey from the Raptors (or whoever) for Bogey (or whoever) and they put in the language that the Knicks get the least preferable of the picks due to the Jazz. If the Jazz are bad enough to keep their own pick and the Knicks are also bad, then the Jazz should get the two highest picks of the three and the Knicks would get the lowest. If the Jazz rebound and don’t keep their ‘24 then the Jazz get the higher of the Knicks or Raptors. If neither the Raptors nor Jazz picks conveys because of protections then the Jazz get a 2nd or maybe swap just doesn’t happen. Something like that.

But I strongly believe that the Jazz need to be in position intercept any possibility of a premium draft asset falling the Knicks’ way.
Love it. If they can swing something like that, I’m all for including the 24 swap. Just don’t want to include assets that are likely to be worthless.
 
The Knicks literally don't even want to give up RJ Barrett, wtf is this trash.

Even Ferguson laughs at this rumor.
Monty can't even read the internet right... we aren't trying to keep RJ Barrett out of the deal... just would rather have picks back. But of course his understanding is we are refusing to take him.
