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

whatthe said:
I would want to loop in the Lakers (send them Conley, Bojan) and get their picks too. Use Westbrook as a salary dump. He would be bought out and would be waived and signed elsewhere which would reduce our salary hit.

I think you would tell Westbrook to go on a paid vacation until the deadline and see if you can flip his expiring contract for some assets.
 
Danny about to go on vacay after summer league... let's the Knicks know his offer... holy hell they in for it if they interrupt his trip with his family. Do the right thing Knicks.
 
KNICKS think they are being cool by not giving in to the Jazz demands. Jazz should just turn to other teams and look serious to those teams to get the Knicks nervous about losing their girlfriend they are pretending not to want, a little jealousy desperation will get them to pull the trigger and give us our return treasure we are asking for.
 
Sorry Don, but the knicks just don’t think your worth it… Rudy is already working out and getting to know his new team mates, but you gotta have to keep wondering. We might even have to ship you off to OKC or some ****. Sorry Don, we tried to do right by you, but the knicks gotta knick.

I don't think the Knicks think they are being cool. I think they are afraid *****ess and preparing their PR team around the blowback of sending 8 picks, three swaps, Topin, Grimes, and Quickly for a 6'1" "shooting" guard.

Wanted to see what you guys thought of this idea…What if instead of trading Donovan we keep him, sit him all year (hey it’s how SA got Tim Duncan by sitting Robinson). Then you keep bojan and JC, trade Conley adding another draft pick. So you tank next year while also hopefully keeping JC and Bojans value up and in the meantime develop your rookies heavily. Then hopefully draft a very high pick to pair with Donovan next year. We then trade JC and bojan and the picks we received from the Rudy trade we trade for the best player we can on the market. Wouldn’t this be a faster rebuild than tearing it all down?

I'm sure Don will pitch a massive fit about it, and I would be on his side.

You can't sit him. That would do irreparable damage to the franchise

Robinson was actually hurt most of the season. Yea he could have come back and played the last few weeks, but San Antonio kept him out. The league would not allow DM to sit the whole year. I am sure DM wouldn't go for it either. The other issue is I believe the lottery did not exist back then, SA and Boston tied, and San Antonio won the coin toss. Your scenario still doesn't guarantee that the Jazz will find the guy to pair with DM or find the third guy you suggest we get. Not going to happen.

I imagine sitting a perfectly healthy, highly valuable player in order to intentionally tank would get some attention from league officials and the player's association, not to mention Donovan's lawyers as doing that would cause significant harm to his career.

Not only this... its a stupid plan. Whoever we draft next year not likely to lead us to the promised land with Don.

You just trade him... he leaving either way... do it on our terms.
