Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

If anyone believes this guy, here is what he's saying---
** PJ Tucker is most likely to stay in Miami. The smoke to Philly is mostly just smoke. PJ likes Miami and wants to see the Heat make moves to compete.
** The invitation for a meeting with Brunson in free agency sounds like cover to avoid accusations of tampering, and it's not clear if Miami is actually going to have a meeting.
** KD is unhappy with the way things have been handled recently in Brooklyn, but has not asked for a trade. It's possible he could ask for a trade at mid-season if things fall apart.
** The 'big fish' that Miami is chasing has multiple years left on his deal. This player's camp has reportedly asked for a trade and has asked for Miami as his first choice of destination, with another team being his 2nd choice.
** It sounds as though if this player's camp doesn't get what they want, they're going to start leaking stuff.
** Trade discussions are ongoing and may reach a crescendo by the end of the week. The second team just upped their offer and are forcing Miami to respond. Miami is allegedly "all in."
** A third team is needed to facilitate the deal, but is asking for a lot in return to do so. This is likely related to finding a team to take Duncan Robinson's contract, which no one in the league wants without sending out bad money.

Meanwhile... Eric Walden reports on Monday that Miami delivered a big trade offer for Mitchell this week. Jake Fischer has long said that if Mitchell became available that Miami was expected to make a big offer for him. Tim MacMahon has reported that people around the league expect Mitchell to ask out of Utah. Rumors have also been saying for weeks that Mitchell would want to be traded to Miami or New York. The Knicks punted on the draft and are clearing cap space and accumulating additional draft picks. Sure, they'll sign Brunson, but that doesn't stop them from pursuing other trades.

So make of it what you will. It sure sounds to me as though the Knicks and Heat are chasing a trade for Mitchell, and the Jazz haven't told them to go...

Also, if we are to believe this guy, the target isn't Brad Beal, as he opted out of his final year and is expected to sign a fat extension with the Wizards.

Herro’s potential extension is reportedly in the 25M/year range which is not bad at all.

Wow, this could all be made up, but it's also plausible. If Don is really asking out, we need to oblige to the highest bidder.

If Don was really adamant about being traded why wouldn't he just ask out?
