It only really bothers me because I obsessively check twitter every hour for it. This should be around the time I'm switching my brain off basketball for a month or two until teams start doing training camp things.
Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones
- Thread starter Elizah Huge
- Start date
And Jason Smith is...?
If you believe 27 and 29 present the same uncertainty, I have to agree to disagree. Almost everyone in the NYK trade value thread had 29 > 27, and it's because of the greater uncertainty about what that pick may be and the potential for it to be very good. There is definitely uncertainty grows greater the more distant the pick is, pretty simple concept. If you don't believe that, I don't really know what to tell you. And back to the original point, a trade still has to be done. Is a trade possible without 27 and 29? Gets more difficult to do that. I'm not sure about a trade without both, but there's certainly a trade without 29 and I think that's the one that gets done.
He works for Fox Radio… you got anything better to talk about right now?
I wasn't like challenging you. I just wondered if this was something not.

I would prefer get five 1st than Barrett. Barrett is overrated for me, shoot way too much. Get as much pick as we can , it give the rebuild more chance to succeed.
Lol I don’t think he has any inside sources but what he is saying makes me happy.
Just go for:
-23/25/27/29 unprotected
-swaps in ‘24*/‘26/‘28
-Quickley, Toppin, Fournier
-one or some of: Grimes, 2nds, taking Gay
Jazz then own the Knicks’ draft for the maximum time allowed which almost certainly digs out some lottery picks, maybe some high ones, and maybe stack them for consecutive years.
*ideally where Jazz get the greatest two of the Jazz, Knicks, and a mystery team who might send the Jazz a pick for one of their many useful vets, if that’s even possible prior to acquiring this mystery ‘24 1st.

I feel pretty confident we’ll get five picks.

I wouldn’t. Draft picks are no guarantee. We might not get a player out of all of these picks who becomes better than him.
In that sense, he has more concrete value as an asset IMO. And should we end up with the 7th pick or something, we could package him and picks to move up to get Wemby. Picks alone wouldn’t get it done IMO.
