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

If we did 23/26/28 firsts... next year they could offer 24/30 with RJ or Jalen to try and get an upgrade.

23/26/28 with a swap in 27 is my prediction on which Knicks picks we end up with. The rest could be anything.

Could also do 23/28 unprotected, which allows them to trade 24/26/30 next year. Give us swaps in 25/27/29 with the Wolves picks.

But allowing them to do this we get the 4 protected picks they own and Grimes/Toppin instead of IQ/Toppin.

Gives us 5 shots that they send a high pick our way. Ainge gets the pick record. Rose has more stuff to trade for his second star.

Or supposedly they aren't concerned on the players going back and forth... so how about Grimes/IQ/Toppin, 23/28 unprotected... swaps in 25/27/29 with the Wolves pick, and our choice of 3 of the 4 protected picks... plus a couple seconds and they take Gay off our hands.

If they want the ability to make a second trade with their picks something like that may be better.
 
Checketts says someone from the Jazz told him there is a team that hasn't been reported yet that's made an offer for Don that they like quite a bit. Andy says Miami has offered a lot and some in the Jazz organization like Tyler Herro.

I’m hoping that the “unnamed team” is Orlando and that it’s leaked that they’re leaning towards doing something similar to the Gobert trade (3 unprotected, 1 top 5 protected) plus Suggs and pick swaps. That would be hard to pass up tbh. New York would have to back up the truck to outbid them IMO.

I still think the Herro, Jovic plus 3 Miami picks and all the swaps they can offer is better than the current Knicks offer.

I think there are 3-4 other credible offers out there and Knicks are playing with fire a bit. I get they need to keep some in the cupboards for their next move, but you gotta get the first one done.
 
At some point these so called other teams are just going to say screw you because we are strictly using them as leverage against the knicks with no intention of actually making a move with them. I just hope that this doesn't drag out to the point that we begin to burn bridges with multiple gm's that simply don't want to engage with Ainge in the future.

September 6th we have to start showing our cards... that's when the Minny guys can be moved. Once every deal is "available" we (and others) will need to **** or get off the pot. It may not be a NY deal but the Lakers deal or other similar deals will need to start consummating or teams will move on.

Perhaps, but maybe these trades include multiple pieces (bev, beasley, etc.) that can't be moved until August 30th.
