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

[Scramantha]

Well, I'm over it. They'll finger it out.

Meanwhile, I thought I was g@y but I'm fully turned on by this lady tennis match on TV. It's Serena vs Estonia nerd babe. Any else watching this? Sexiest event of the year. Got me rethinking myself at age 40.

Oh, for the prediction portion I think the deal goes down tomorrow.

Still prolly g@y though.

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

The Jazz want him to build. Jake is really good so I don’t doubt what he’s hearing. But I think there is this sentiment around the league that the Jazz are aiming for this prolonged rebuild and that’s just not the case. They know they are not going to be good this season, but beyond that they are trying to open another window quickly. I’ve reported this repeatedly and every time I have it’s been met with real pushback. So now that it’s clear that the Jazz want Barrett back in this deal, I think other sources around the league are like “well they must want to flip him”, which is where Jake and others are hearing from their sources. But never once in this whole offseason has a jazz source to me indicated that the front office wants a lengthy rebuild. The plan is to tear it down this season but try and get back as quickly as possible. That means getting Barrett and having something to build with. If the Jazz get Barrett and toppin, that’s a nice start. As a Knicks fan, I’m super high on toppin. I think he has potential to be a star if he comes to the Jazz

Thank you sir!!! The details provided really help us understand the plan and how to view what we are hearing.

Obi would be entertaining as well. Even if he isn’t a star. He seems like a joyful dude… we will need some joy.

I’m not entirely sold on Barrett taking that next step, but if the Jazz get him I’m totally rooting for him to become the dynamic wing they’ve been missing since Hayward.

I like Toppin a lot too, and I think I’d love to see a competition between him and Vanderbilt - so I’m hoping both of them are in Utah this year.

While the focus of trade rumors have been dominated by either Mitchell to the Knicks or the Jazz trading for (and likely buying out Westbrook), I still feel like the team will be motivated to move Conley as well. Any noise about him out there anymore?

Getting both Barrett and Toppin would be crazy.

Are the Jazz as high on Grimes as everyone says or has that been blown out of proportion?

 

[Hekate]

Ugh, I hate half-assed tanks. That can't be Jazz's plan. If we can't tank around Wemby or Scoot, the window becomes much shorter.

Look at how Dallas is scrambling around Doncic because he was so good so quick or Pels bumbling because they feared Zion would ask out in year 2.

What about pairing a top-5 pick with Barrett is a half-assed tank? That is two elite building blocks.

Danny Ainge needs to give Knicks a deadline. They miss it. Price goes up. I'm thinking the Knicks are currently hoping if they wait the price will drop.
Mitchell for 6 1st picks.

I’m interested in this as well but my guess is Grimes is the McDaniels in this trade. I think the Knicks feel like it’s a win if they keep him while giving us something else of more value instead.
