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

[NUMBERICA]

The cap space for what? **** contracts and protected picks?

Sure.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Not dealing RJ and giving up extra picks severely hinders the next move they’d be able to make.

And there’s a big part of the appeal in not taking him back.

I wouldn’t be opposed to 5/185 if we front loaded it. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal if that’s what he wanted. This might be a silly discussion in 2 years when that contract looks like a steal.

Can't front load that amount though... 5/188 is the max.

Can’t front load it because it’s a max extension?

Sure if they’re willing to give us what we want.

Only 3M difference between 5/185 and max... so max diff is 3M.

His max is 5/185 I thought. Anyways I’d still give him that.

Paying big money to a guy who has a true shooting % worse than Westbrick last season would be disastrous. Doesn't help that he had horrendous advance stats across the board last season. Ortg 103/drtg 113 to go along with a split of -0.3 OBPM/-1.3 DBPM. Basically a minus 10 to your team whenever he steps on the floor. Don't mind bringing Barrett in as our next tank commander. But we shouldn't give up any meaningful assets for a tank commander.

There is some appeal there. I do think you have to do things largely just focused on your situation and not try to control too much. They could do like the Heat did with Jimmy and flip RJ for Brown if Boston is going to lose him for nothing.

I don't know if the Ainge or Rose draw a line in the sand but I'm wondering if they are going to refuse to do the 4 largely unprotected picks and we are going to refuse to settle for 3 and change. So the convo shifts to RJ... which I see some value there.

I'd get a discount or wait for restricted FA. See Porter Jr., Michael.

He got 5/179 granted only 150.5 of that is guaranteed. That seems reasonably for RJ.

It was more they extended him a year early and he had back surgery... price would have been much lower. So unless they are a surefire max guy... get a discount or wait.
