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

[Elizah Huge]

You keep making up logic lol.

It’s not risk, it’s not being afraid. It’s uncertainty. It’s difficult to value that pick because it’s so distant. The deal can get done with or without that pick. So another way to look at this is, what are you willing to not have for that 2029 pick? Are you willing up to not have Grimes? Quickley? More than one first?

There’s a package that gets this deal done without 2029, and I think that will ultimately be the one that’s accepted by both sides.

It is quite literally the most valuable asset in the discussed deal.

This just isn’t true and it is making me dumber by reading it. What exactly about a 2029 unprotected 1st from the Knicks doesn’t scream "it could turn out to be really good" potential.

Again, another disagreement with a made up thing. Did I say that the potential doesn’t exist? The point is that FO members see less than fans.

This will be the last time I respond to a made up argument that you get upset about.

Danny might be one of the GM’s that likes the uncertainty, but generally I do think GM’s would rather trade with that are more certain. The “it could turn out to be really good” potential is hard to value in the first place, but I especially think that fans are more hopeful of that potential than GM’s.

In any case, I think of the deal can get done without it, both sides would feel better. And with all of NYK’s assets I think it can, so I’m betting that it will.

This is a little silly.. the 2029 unprotected pick has a lot of value because of uncertainty and it being unprotected. Each year it has a little more value as it gets closer to being conveyed. You also want to take that pick to prevent them from trading it to another team to improve their current team or to remove a terrible player (like Randle) from the cap sheet. It also means they can't trade their 2030 pick. Its mean AF but you want to cripple their ability to improve and be flexible. We have an interest in them sucking.

I'm old enough to remember waiting like 10 years for a Knicks pick.

You saying Danny should give them the old Gay deep throat too... you a savage.

This is they type of post that used to get a warning. Now, the world is more and more comfortable with old gay deep throats and the like I guess.

No judgements here. Just pointing out how the world is evolving. Huuuuuit!

 

[Coach Ellis]

Are the Knicks supposed to be better in ‘24 than ‘23? And to restate/clarify, I’d just take the Dallas ‘23 pick.

I think a better plan would be - Knicks 23, 25, 27, 29 (same non-protections as Minnesota) plus the Dallas ‘23 pick, the Milwaukee ‘25 pick and pick swaps in 24 and 26.

I mean, feel free to have your own opinion on it. The point I’m making and have repeated is that GMs don’t see it the same way as fans. These arguments about how great that potential is doesn’t really disagree with my point, in fact it’s making the point.

If you disagree, do you think there’s no trade that can be done if 2029 is not included? What’s the trade with and without that pick? I’m not trying to argue the potential and value of that pick, I’m saying that whatever value that is….it can be made up by other means. And because it can it most likely will.

This but the swaps in 26/28. Our 2024 1st is top-10 protected in 2024 so if we have it to be able to swap it means it’s in the top-10 anyways. I’d rather have the chance to swap in 2028.

The trade without that pick is 23/25/27 1sts from the Knicks, 2023 Dallas 1st, 2025 Milwaukee 1st and then one of the Detroit/Washington picks plus pick swaps from the Knicks in 26/28/29.

I like that.

I’d much much much rather get the 2029 1st in any deal. It’s the most valuable asset being discussed.

This is actually so true. I’m going to say we need to make it a sticking point to get the 2029 1st.
