Something is imminent.

RJ + Fournier + McBride for Mitchell + Gay works for both teams.

Because of the poison pill in RJ's deal now. Throws the matching salaries all out of whack.

It’s really not that hard though because we have TPE’s to use too. There are still tons of ways to make it work if we were adamant on getting RJ.

I think it says a deal is close. Jazz wanted RJ... from Tony Jones today:

On Monday, the New York Knicks came to terms with small forward RJ Barrett on a hefty contract extension that will make a potential trade for Donovan Mitchell more difficult, largely because the Jazz were pushing for Barrett’s inclusion in the deal. They thought he would fit well into their overall system, and sources say Barrett’s camp was bracing for the Duke product to be on the move.

He also PM'd me on Saturday and let me know Jazz were asking for RJ.... didn't want it on the general board... now its public.

Signing RJ means that the Knicks are either okay with the middle ground that they know works for Ainge or they are cool walking away. We don't want them walking away obvi.

You think a deal is close? How so? Are you thinking a three team deal?

Oh ****... sorry. I think I meant to say was close... not is close. Like the deal was close to being done and now that iteration fell through so Don is not happy.

I got the sense from Tony’s article that the Jazz may pivot to clearing the logjam at guard and trading other vets right now.

I got the sense from Tony’s article that the Jazz may pivot to trading the rest of the vets right now.

Next week we will execute a trade with or without the Knicks. I think we have two offers with the Lakers right now. One that gets us both picks and one that gets us one of the picks. The one with both picks will involve the Knicks.

This is all me guessing btw... the next big psuedo deadline is the start of camp and teams will want some idea of what they are working with. Indiana has been hesitant to do the Lakers trade unless they get both picks. Lakers don't want to give up both picks. We can offer something in the middle or sweeten it with some Knicks stuff to get both.

Jovan Buha - The Athletic Lakers guy was on Hoopshype pod and said the Jazz are the most likely trade candidate and kind of intimated that there is a deal we could do with Bogey where it was just one pick.

Also, I got sucked into the Monty world LOL and he has been insisting the Jazz didn't want RJ. He has been wrong!!

 

[Elizah Huge]

I just want to say I said the reports that the Jazz weren’t interested in RJ were bogus from the beginning.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I don’t know… Barrett/Grimes + 5 1sts is a ridiculous haul regardless if only 2 were unprotected.

It is, but the Donovan deal got so hyped up people would have been disappointed.

 

[Peter Effin' Parker]

Donny going to start forcing things.

 

[TheStormofWar]

Miami is apparently getting some run after a few of Don's likes.

As The Spida Turns...
