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

[Gameface]

I honestly don’t really care that much about their players. I want as much quality and quantity of high-end draft assets possible.

So, sure.

I'd think even if prioritizing picks you want players on good contracts that are useful trade pieces down the line.

I would wanna route one of their rookie-scale guys to LA to try and own LA’s draft from ‘27-‘29. That’s the best use of their value as far as I’m concerned.

According to Stein Heat are trying to find additional firsts and are all-in on getting KD or Donvan.

Herro and Strus can get how many picks? From who? At very least it gives us an offer to tell NY beat it.

Heat fans think Lowry can nab them a first from Dallas if they take Bertans salary back plus other filler.

Herro I’m sure could get at least two firsts from some team.

Would Sacramento give them two firsts? Would Indiana give them two firsts?

McMahon doesn’t think we want to pay Herro or Barrett so I doubt we trade for either of them.

I think there are a couple teams that would do a deal... Maybe Cleveland or Orlando are my best bets.

Orlando sends the pick the own from Chicago for 2023, its top 5 protected this year and top 4 next year, and the Denver 2025 pick they own that is top 6 protected. If one of the picks doesn't convey they give us one of their own in 2026.

Cleveland sends their own picks... likely with some protections. IDK

If you got 3 unprotected picks from Miami 23/27/29 and three swaps, plus Jovic, and the firsts from Orlando... I think that is a legitimate offer you can take to NY to get 3 or 4 unprotected picks, 2 other picks they own and two young players to beat it.

Where does Herro + 5 1sts + 2 pick swaps land on the offer scale? Pretty good?

I think it would be Jovic plus 5 firsts and the swaps.

Just stay with me what if it was Herro and 5 1sts plus 2 swaps?

ya- if they don't want RJ I'd be surprised if they wanted Herro

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

From the Knicks perspective they are trying to have enough to offer for their second trade. If we did 23/26/28 firsts it allows them to trade 24 and 30 next year to open something up. Get those picks, the other picks they own from Dallas, Detroit, Wash... then Toppin/Quickley/McBride sub in Rose instead of Fournier.

Thats kind of the bar imo.

sure... but I'm flipping Herro for picks.

Enough to take it to the Knicks and tell them to beat the offer. If they protest, say, “what, you think your picks are gonna be more valuable?”

I get the feeling Ainge overplayed his hand. I just can’t shake it. I think he’s legit MJ nuts but you can’t will people into giving the best offer possible.
