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

[LoPo]

Lopo takes two things that are entirely possible to coexist (and actually make complete sense to exist at one time" at one time and is like "No way these two things can happen"

Of course two things can happen at once. However, y'all are just trying to spin this to fit whichever narrative becomes true. Just more Donovan Mitchell unsubstantiated slander.

At the end of the day, there has been no evidence for the speculation earlier in the summer. And this is a perfect opportunity to say something about leaving, but he hasn't.

I would argue that the new lottery odds make lottery picks more valuable, not less as well. Getting the 8th worst spot has a higher mathematical probability at getting a top 3 pick than ever before. The cost? Being at the very bottom of the league comes with lower mathematical odds of a top 3 pick than before.

Thr picks are more, not less valuable.

Correct... but what if NY puts top 5 protections on a pick? Those odds could work against you.

Or top-10.

Clearly all the leaks about the New York Knicks for the last two season where just made up by random media members out of their *** and it's a coincidence that the Knicks ended up being the team that is trying the hardest to trade for him.

Then we hold their prize.

They want Donovan. We dont need to trade him there. Send them a "honeycrisp-upyours" and see how they like them apples.

If he didn't want out wouldn't he be out here calling these reports BS and stuff... wouldn't he have said some things to refute it.

I think the rumors were there all along but it hit a critical point with the unnerved report. Think that carefully crafted article that came out 3 minutes after the announcement generated some conversation between us and CAA to get them to STFU and play nice or it gets ugly. If we found CAA/Knicks tampering there could be hefty fines and penalties.

Rebuilding was always a possibility but I think Ainge went into the offseason with full flexibility and then found a huge deal he liked that skewed us towards rebuilding.

Remember when he got on twitter just to call out Spence for the Quin/Text thing? Yeah....

I think we get it but they may make us earn it. I pursue the Heat deal and cutoff communications for a day or two and leak **** like crazy... "Jazz really value Herro and see him as a young borderline AS". Make em pick up the phone.
