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

Rob Perez on ESPN 700 today:

He thinks Toppin + Quickley + Fournier are essentially guaranteed to be in the deal. He also says it will likely be a historic haul of picks. He thinks that Ainge wants 7 1sts and the Knicks likely oblige. 3 from the Knicks and all 4 of the others they own from other teams.

The deal breaker to him is including Quentin Grimes. He thinks Grimes is the hold up in the deal. He thinks Grimes may be on the best deal in the NBA.

He doesn’t see Rose being included instead of Fournier at all.
I would rather have Grimes too. I would give them one of the picks back to do so if we are talking about 7 picks. That is crazy stuff. I really like DM but I don't think he is worth that much. Is Jericho Sims any good?
 
The locked on Knicks guy thinks the offer won't be as big as people think and that Knicks have the leverage... hmmmmm.
 
sWhy is Utah so high on Grimes? I figured they'd be after Toppin and Reddish.
Both Toppin and Reddish were more hyped than Grimes but have underperformed since they have been in the league. Toppin showed a little at the end of the year so there is potential. Reddish was drafted as a 3 &D wing but his offense has been lagging. Grimes performed well at the end of the season last year, seems to be a fan favorite. He has size for his position and plays both ways. I will be shocked if the Jazz get him because if they have Brunson and DM the Knicks are going to need some size in the backcourt. I heard his contract is great for his production. Like I said earlier, I would give up one of the draft picks to get him. I think he has a chance to be very good.
