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

[NUMBERICA]

The Jazz should just keep DM then.

Or better, pivot to the theoretical Heat A package.

 

[NUMBERICA]

We super-maxed the tank-a-thon strategy in the Gobert trade. Now, considering Mitchell, one recurring debate is maximizing unprotected picks (say 4) vs Barrett and say 2-3 unprotected picks. Ultra tank vs tank. Some have pointed out that we can always flip Barrett for 2 picks later on. While I fully like the ultra-tank strategy, I would just make the point that if the front office truly believes Barrett can evolve into a 3rd option on a championship team, then I am happy taking him so long as we receive at least 2-3 unprotected picks from the Knicks. Barrett and 4 unprotected picks would be great, but I don’t think we will get that

I like you’re thought process and I think I agree. I am just entirely skeptical that the Jazz can get the picks and Barrett, and I’m - again - not all that convinced that Barrett is a pillar to build on.

I wouldn't worry about what's being reported. It's much more likely that the Knicks are going to pony up something closer to what Ainge wants than what's being said on twit land.

Maybe. I’m convinced I’m gonna continue to lose some weight, get back into killer shape, and start dunking again.

I’ll be 47 on Sunday.

By the way, if I ever attempt this, I’ll have someone video it and post it.

Okay, maybe only if I actually dunk. Failed attempts could be ugly.

Why is Grimes such a sticking point? He had a lackluster rookie year. Is his potential really that high? Of course I didn't follow him closely at all, like at all. But is there really that much upside there? I know the Jazz get all hard over upside, but still...

@MeloTheJazzKiller what are your thoughts on Grimes?

Because they are just playing hardball and it's better business to act like your guarding your players so in the case that a trade is drawn out you hopefully keep vibes up and dont have your players feel like they are actively being shopped.

What kind of answer do you think he’s going to give other than he’s better than anyone utah has, hell I know that’s what his answer would be. Lol

Then why are the Knicks basically saying we can have Toppin then?

Toppin the dude stuck behind Randle on the depth chart, a player who will be difficult to move for them. Makes sense he'd be the one.

So, if the main player the jazz wanted back was Quickly, the Knicks would be saying they don’t want to give him up?
