Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

At this point, I think we shouldn't derail the thread. There is some evidence that Donovan may have requested a trade, named Miami and NY as his preferred destinations, and those two teams are acting on it with proposals.

We'll have to wait and see if this gets confirmed.

So in conclusion:
• ICC posts that the Heat are in on a big fish with multiple years left on his deal and submitted an offer on Monday but were in a bidding war with another team.
• Chris Haynes confirms that Miami/Phoenix have known about Durant wanting out for a week.
• Jake Fichser confirms that KD has been pissed at the team and perception around the league has been PHX/MIA where his two preferred landing spots.
• ICC says that he wasn't away of a Donovan Mitchell trade offer until today, texted his source and confirmed it was real as a backup plan to Durant.
• ICC quotes the tweet about Woj preferring PHX/MIA and says that the information his boy gave him was correct.
• Greg Sylvander confirms that Miami made an offer for Don but it was a backup plan because they're laser focused on Durant

Which means that there is evidence Don was the player he was referring too and requested a trade because one SLC reporter said Miami made an offer a few days ago.

Just seems odd to me that he'd be celebrating this tweet saying his boy was right with his information if it was about Donovan and not Durant.

IceColdCubano's source has been leaking a lot of information on a lot of topics. Most of it appears to be pretty accurate so far. You're just choosing to ignore a few of the posts that I'm specifically referring to that synch up with the trade offers from the Heat for Mitchell.

If Don is really trying to force his way out with a trade request, why hasn't he or the team gone public with it? Is the team just dead set on only dealing with Miami to move him?

So maybe Don and KD both requested a trade at the same time with two teams as their preferred destination on Monday and that team was the Heat. We'll just see what happens.

If Don's camp made a trade request, it would have been made about a week ago--e.g., around the time of the draft.

KD's trade request happened this morning, even if teams were preparing for it as a contingency earlier.

Don's preferred teams are (allegedly) #1 Miami and #2 New York maybe, but it's not clear who the 2nd team is.

KD's preferred teams are reportedly #1 Phoenix and #2 Miami.

I just don't really see how he would've demanded a trade and it just stayed under wraps for days. If he wanted out considering his CAA relationship/Woj, wouldn't it make sense to put public pressure on the organization rather than to do it in the shadows? Also wouldn't it make more sense for the team to negotiate with multiple teams instead of just Miami per Don's request?
