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

The Lakers might be willing to offer said picks for RJ.

Why would we do that if all it takes is Bogey/Beasley/Reddish?

RJ is the top asset the Knicks have that the Jazz are after. They aren’t pursuing him to just deal him right after.

NYK's unprotected picks have more value than RJ. I'll take Jarace Walker or Keyonte George on rookie-scale over RJ right now.

That is just not true at all lol. He is their single most valuable trade asset.

 

[Tony Jones]

Sounds like the Jazz might be folding a bit. Can't get the picks they want so they are now trying to offload long-term salary like Rudy Gay

They aren’t folding at all. Or else this would have been done

So Tony, are the sides talking right now or taking a break?

Not as of last night but I think they will start back up at some point

Do the Jazz want RJ to flip him or to build around? Asking because Fisher mentioned it. I'm guessing its to keep him.

Asking for my employer — is it gonna be a few weeks? Can I get back to productive work the rest of this week and tune this out?

I’d take more unprotected picks from the Knicks over RJ. Hell, they can keep everyone, just give us all the picks and swaps

We might also pawn off Fournier and get 1 instead...

I don't get this. We don't exactly need the cap space, and I hardly see Fournier win a bunch of games on his own. Can't we just keep him? He's a solid player, he could even be worth something at some point. He might be negative value for NYK, I don't think he is for us.

Why the hell do we want him? He only makes us better and we are rebuilding.

Are we concerned about our payroll for the next two years? Losing Rudy G#2 would be good, but I don't think the Jazz would put a lot of value into getting off 2 years of $6M at this point.
