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

[whatthe]

Get the 2 to 3 unprotected NYK picks and two LAL unprotected picks and I don't care how many players are needed to do that. Go hardcore tank without regard to value. As soon as the tank this season is over then shift gears back to retain and build value going forward.

A Knicks page on Twitter posted the current Knicks offer is RJ/Fournier plus 2 unprotected picks and 3 protected picks. Not a credible source whatsoever only has about 4k followers but guys following it are acting as it means something. Not like we have anything better to talk about right now.

Just saw the same thing on a YouTube video from some New York Channel, I was going to post it but now I don’t feel the need to

According to the video they think that Grimes will be better than RJ

I also think we get in a trap thinking if we don't help LA then no one else will... someone will benefit... we have a great offer. We should just go ahead and benefit even if it mean helping the Lakers.

It just feels so incredibly petty and immature to care as much or more about the misfortune of another team than the health of your own team. Not only do I want the long term prospects of this next build to be better than any team in history, I would actually be happy to facilitate Bogey (and Clarkson, and Conley) having a shot at a ring. I guess I’m the bad Jazz fan, though.

This guy is giving Monty a run for his money today. lmao

It’s a weird thing. It’s ok for people to root for Minnesota to win but heaven forbid we help out a team that is helping us out. That’s kind of how trades work.

We will see an appearance from Big Mike shortly.

Yeah we aren’t sending Barrett to the Lakers but ok.

Also, if that trade happened I'd be pretty mad we didn't come away with Barrett.

This is actually my biggest complaint of Ainge: he seems to have a real antagonist streak. Feels like part of his deal-making is crushing his trade partner and I think that can quickly be counter-productive.

Ya- Lakers pay less than we did for Conley, yet they get Barrett as a throw-in haha!!

I also like that these spoof accounts are like "its going down this week!!!" At this point I will be somewhat shocked if it happens before Sept 6th. The three team deal almost surely woudn't happen until then.
