I think he's very overrated as a player, and if he comes back in the package it means we get less of the good stuff. He's a huge bait player, especially with the type of numbers he posted at the end of last year. I think Barrett holds more trade value due to reputation than Quickley+Toppin, but the latter due is a much better combo. One of the reasons I didn't like the MIA package is that Herro carries more value than he's worth, Barrett is a more extreme version of that.

they can easily get to 3 plus the swaps... all they have to do with OKC is call and say "hey we will give you some cash considerations or a second rounder to dramatically improve the value of a pick you already own... you in?"

My thing is... What would Barrett and Herro get in a trade individually to a third team in terms of draft compensation? I'd likely rather have that then either of those guys. I could see Sacramento getting a little overly aggressive on a Barrett and giving up an unprotected pick or two.
That's fair....and I'd like to think we'd make the right moves, but I can very easily see us taking one of them and thinking we just got a very good young player. Barrett especially, he has Ainge written all over him.
Miami to Donovan is the same as Atlanta to Rudy to me.
I just dont think they have the juice to get a deal done. I expect NYK to be the team and I would expect a darkhorse team who isnt as widely talked about to be the 2nd in competition.

Hopefully, the Jazz took the Miami offer and reached out to say - gotta beat this significantly or we’re just going to keep him until next offseason.
I’m hoping New York and either Orlando or OKC are quietly in a bidding war right now. They seem to be the most asset rich teams that have a chance to be trash even after they acquire Donovan.
I would have said it's similar to Rudy-to-Chicago, but yeah, same idea.

Toronto is the dark horse for me. They would send their picks and OG/Trent... sounds not great, but they have hunted deals for OG in secret all summer and there may be something out there for him. 4 firsts from Toronto plus whatever OG gets you is pretty okay maybe. I think OG is the type of dude that gets an offer from 29 teams because of player type and fit. So something juicy could come from a 3 team scenario there. Again I'm looking at Sacramento or a team like that for some unprotected picks.
DET, ORL, SAC, CHA, NOP... a lot of those can convince themselves that Donovan is either the missing piece to take them to next level or a great complement to their young star...
If there's one thing I'm not worried about, it's teams not having interest in Donovan Mitchell. We underrated Rudy in a trade, we did the same with Mitchell. There will always be a market for superstar players, especially ones entering their prime like Mitchell.
Does a contender want Don the same way the Wolves wanted Gobert though?
That's my issue. I think the Jazz's asking price is so high that no contender is going to talk themselves into Mitchell because he's overrated, so what is needed to get him will make your team worse in the short and long run.
