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

i think thats it MAYNE

Curious if Orlando makes a play for Donovan. They have the necessary picks and expiring/non-guaranteed deals. Does someone like Don move the needle for them?

They're a team that I can theoretically (at least in my own mind) construct a good argument for them to be interested.

They could put together a nice package (with Suggs, maybe Isaac, etc.) along with picks, and still have a lot left. It would make some sense for Banchero to not have a situation where all the offensive creation is put on him immediately (which I think it will at this point), and it would be good for Donovan over the long haul (I think) to have a great offensive talent like Banchero alongside of him. A lineup of Fultz, DM, Wagner, Banchero, Carter/Bamba at least sounds workable as a start to a good long-term plan.

But on the other hand, I'm not surprised at all that they've shown no inclination to try to hurry the process up by pushing for a DM trade. That's a defensible position as well.

I don't know if Ja Morant is that much better than Mitchell, but otherwise I agree as well.

yeh i think Morant isn't better, mitchell can shoot 3s, but morant cannot...BUT....i wonder how DM will do on thje knicks without a defensive anchor in the back court covering for his lazy d?

Man, I hope Ainge pulled of an Ocean's 11 burglary here and we can get Jazz Avenues to make multiple threads of RealGM-KnicksBoard tears and lamentations, both now and once the season has begun.

Know what I want from Knicks.
2023 1st (top 7 protected)
Dallas 2023 1st
2025 1st (top 6 protected)
2031 1st
Detroit 2024 2nd
Detroit 2025 2nd
Fournier (filler), Toppin, Grimes, McBride

They get Mitchell, Butler (stinks) and some other scrub.

If they balk, take out the 2031 one.

ITS HAPPENING!?!?

@bigmike is getting aggregated by the local radio now.

These guys are reporting the same thing I heard and tried to tell you all last week. Was reaffirmed yesterday. The only thing I know about the return is that we are going to be extremely happy. The player haul sucks, the pick haul is fantastic.

This guy also announced the Gobert trade would happen the same day that it actually did. On the morning show, he said Gobert would be traded within 24 hours, and the Gobert-to-Minnesota deal went public that afternoon.

So is it NYK or MIA ?

Perk needs to shut his mouth til the trade happens.

He needs to shut his mouth period. Perk guaranteed we were going to lose the series to Memphis last year when we went down 0-1. Don came back and we won 4 straight.

Perk is a hack.

If this is true I have to think other trades, Clarkson, Beverly, Bogdanovic, maybe even Westbrook, will follow.
