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

I just don’t understand how him signing an extension at a good price is bad for us.
Makes a deal hard to do but the extension may have been hard to do… I can’t see them seriously doing this to RJ but who knows.
 
Depends if the Jazz want him or not. Assuming progress has been made, I'm guessing the deal framework didn't include Barrett or Rose is playing hardball with Danny.

The reported close deal was RJ/Fournier + 5 picks. Only 2 unprotected… then we asked for an extra unprotected and Grimes to be added.
 
The compromise here is ok we won’t ask for both an extra unprotected 1st AND Grimes but…

You take Gay’s salary and send us Grimes or you take Gay’s salary and send us McBride with an extra unprotected 1st.
 
Swapping Gay for Grimes is all that has to be added to the original offer that was close and it works.
Man I can't imagine RJ would be super happy about it but maybe he gets over it.
