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

I am a bit worried the Utah might be asking for too much.
We gonna wrap this trade in with the Lakers trade to get all the picks from coast to coast.

I think they know the deal now... or close enough. Can kind of poke around and see who wants Rose/Fournier before executing.

Almost everyone in the league is saying if Gobert got 5 1sts then Mitchell could get 6 or 7.

Regardless of who you think is better (Gobert is) I think Mitchell has more perceived value around the league.

Now, the problem becomes just because Minnesota overpaid for him doesn’t mean another team has to for Mitchell.
 
same. i'm glad ainge is asking for a lot, but it's okay to get just a good deal rather than have it fall through because he wants to absolutely fleece them.
The best is the enemy of the good.

Man, a haul like that would be unprecedented.
I'm changing my opinion to Toppin, 7-8 picks, and salary filler Rose, Fournier. We allow them to keep Quickly and Grimes to extract all teh picks.

Neat.


Now go vote in the most delicious and spectacular poll ever known to Jazz-kind!!

 
Interesting bits from Andy's article:
• In those conversations and prior ones, according to a source, the Jazz asked for a huge, essentially unprecedented return for Mitchell. The Knicks can trade a maximum of eight first-round picks outright — the Jazz want a majority of those picks. They also asked for pick swaps down the road. Finally, they also asked for some combination of youngsters Quentin Grimes, Immanuel Quickley, Obi Toppin, Miles McBride, and Cam Reddish. Grimes is perhaps the lead target among those players for Utah.

• R.J. Barrett, the third pick of the 2019 NBA Draft, was considered more valuable to the Knicks than the Jazz, and so wasn’t included in the most recent conversation, multiple sources told the Tribune.
