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

NY is not only under pressure to get Donovan, they are also under pressure to look like they didn't get fleeced.

I suspect this delay is due to third team being involved, where Jazz give up another one of their pieces to a third team and NY ends up with another player they want. Jazz get more picks.

I remember doing a Jazzfanz current draft. The draft was in the later rounds my team was nearly complete and I think it was . @Elizah Huge don’t remember the players involved, but but I guess he was in discussions with someone else and he contacted me about a three way trade. He or someone else wanted one of my players that I didn’t really want to trade. But Elizah hounded and hounded me, so finally I said I didn’t want the guy being offered, but that I liked another guy. Elizah gave push back. I remember saying something like I didn’t see any reason to make the trade but he obviously had to have my player and I wasn’t budging, a few messages later Elizah finally gave in and gave me exactly what I wanted. I had all the power in those discussions and won. Not saying this to disparage Elizah, just that he had the need and I had his fix. That’s pretty close to the jazz and Knicks. Jazz have the high ground, the Knicks need what the jazz have. Danny just needs to stand pat and I’m telling you we could possibly get Grimes Toppin and Quickley and 6 picks if Danny is patient enough. Just saying let’s be greedy!!

Do you recall this at all @Elizah Huge ? It would’ve been lice 5-7 years ago or something. For the life of me I can’t remember the players involved.

Man if we could unload Conley, Gay, Mitchell and maybe Bogey and get back 1-3 young prospects with upside and 8-10 picks that would be a historic off-season probably for any team ever. Wild that this kind of thing is actually a possibility, and this is not just crazy talk. Wow.

He's a podcaster who thinks he has a source. However, what he's saying aligns with Tony Jones and Shams' reporting regarding who is in the package. It's just one more thing to consider.
