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

You’d rather have a 2024 pick swap than an extra first?
I have heard that because the Knicks have some other teams’ 1sts, that they can trade picks from consecutive years (can someone confirm if this is true). If so, this draft compensation is exactly what I’d want:
-‘23 1st (probably protected in some way, don’t they have potentially three 1sts? Maybe take the 2nd best of the picks available or something)
-‘24 unprotected
-‘25 swap
-‘26 unprotected
-‘27 swap
-‘28 unprotected
-‘29 swap
-‘30 lightly protected

That is if this is legal. Gives the Jazz the Knicks’ draft, gives the Jazz a guarantee they get a ‘24 pick, throws another ‘23 to the pile (which you can either use to fill out the depleted roster or use to trade up somewhere).
 
Ainge getting 11 firsts for Rudy, Don, and Royce plus a bevy of young dudes and tradeable contracts is a super flex.
Still have deals to be made for Bogey, Clarkson, Beverley, Conley and Beasley too - plus maybe subsequent deals for any of the players that come over in the trade for Mitchell or any of these other guys that I’ve listed.

It is not... those picks are protected... if they were unprotected then it would be true.

I want the 23/25/27/29 picks and swaps in 26/28. I want the 2023 pick because I think they could very well be in the lotto next year. Any chances we get are good. I want the option swaps to be open ended too... we can swap our pick the minny pick or any of the picks they send to us.

If the reporting is true I think the walk away point is Grimes right now. In one sense I'm like just take the deal Danny... on the other hand Danny can be like... you really letting Quentin Grimes stop you from getting your guy?????
 
I actually think the Knicks could use Rudy Gay. I'd prefer to see him shunted elsewhere.
If they can trade him without having to attach assets or bring back bad salary - sure. Go for it. If they can’t get that deal, try to unload him now if possible.

Basically all of this.

I think the final king move will be when he sends Bogey, Conley, and maybe Vando (sadly) to LA for Westbrook and the two firsts.

Absolute best they can offer us from their standpoint of only their picks is 23/25/27/29 and pick swaps in 24/26/28. I doubt we push hard for the 24 pick swap. We then likely grab 2 out of the other 4 1sts they own.

And maybe that is the middle ground... fine... you need to keep Grimes... well give me a second and take Gay.

Lemme make a simple revision: ‘23 Dallas pick
 
I want the 2023 Dallas 1st. We walk into the draft with 1/6 of the total picks in the 1st round.
