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

If Knicks are actually serious they put 3 unprotected and Toppin IQ on the table real quick to make a real offer. At very least if you gonna offer just two unprotected all the protected ones better be in the deal and Grimes.

The Jazz offer of Conley, Bev, Bogdanovic, and Clarkson is FAR superior to that offer.

The most hilarious thing is for them to be like “we gotta get rid of Randle… team X will give us two firsts for him”. He has negative value in a trade. They’d count themselves lucky to get off his money without giving up a pick. We really need him to stay there cuz he could eff up their whole program.

You're playing around with what is as valuable to us as a Knicks '27 unprotected first round pick. I'm not sure multiple bad picks or Grimes really gets there. I think we have to have at least one unprotected pick in '26 or later.
 
Here's a question on pick swaps. Would pick swaps prevent us from dealing our own picks in the pick swap years? My assumption is that if you sell your pick in a pick swap year that the swap is just voided, but I'm not sure.

I don't think it's a big deal, but was just curious. If we got really good really quick and wanted to add talent, that could limit some flexibility.

I suspect New York begins to realize that Ainge saying he had "other offers they like" is no bluff and will either move quickly or back off entirely. KD staying in Brooklyn probably unlocked the assets for a Mitchell deal for another team.

The scenario I outlined in an earlier post would be what I go for... give us 2023 and 2028 picks unprotected... work in swaps on 25/27 with the Minny pick. That way they can justify giving us the other stuff because at the 2024 draft they could move 24/26/30 picks for their second "star". You still get the upside of the Knicks picks in 4 years but take the lionshare of the others stuff for doing so.

But yeah... I get your drift here. Was just thinking of alternate solutions that might work for both parties.

It has that effect... it also has an effect on Don's camp. KD just demanded out... made a **** storm... looks like an ***... and in the end the team said "nah".

So our threat of we keep Don has more teeth. They can say he will ask out sooner or later... and we say "cool... how'd that work for KD and Kyrie?".

Thank you Nets!
 
The second domino is still September 6th... if we get close to camp and nothing is figured out... I can see Danny saying we are rolling forward and discontinuing talks.

Don's professionalism on this helps a ton as well. I hope we can get him somewhere where'll he'll be happy.
