Woj says the Jazz are listening to offers for Mitchell

[Coach Ellis]

Like @KqWIN has stated... Quickley and Toppin might be the better pieces to steal from NY. They can keep RJ and substitute in those two plus an extra unprotected pick and I'd be happy. I also see that as more palatable to them.

Starting next year the Knicks would be capped out with some minor draft assets left to move stuff around. Its a lot of tinder for a fire.

Especially if we get back Rose instead of having to take either Randle or Fournier. Let them sort out their own cap issues without draft flexibility. I could see those pieces not working together very well at all - and fast.

There's no need to get off of bad contracts now. If someone values Gay and wants him in a deal that's fine, but there is no reason to get a worse deal from someone to take on Gay.

“You’re going to send us everything and you get Donovan and Rudy Gay.”

“We don’t want Gay.”

“Fair enough. Send us everything and a 2nd round pick.”

Quickley + Toppin + more picks > Barrett

Quickley + Toppin + same picks < Barrett

Any chance it’s a 3 way?

Nets get Mitchell
Suns get Durant
We get a ton of picks and maybe Bridges and someone else?

Can't. Simmons and Mitchell contracts cannot be on the same team.

Simmons goes to Indiana to help supplement the picks coming to us.

For me it is Quickley + Grimes + picks. Then you trade Clarkson because he and Quickley are redundant.

Knicks fans will also melt when the deal comes in at twice as much as they think it will... I have seen Heat fans say they should get him without Herro... Knicks fans are like "I'd give the protected picks and Julius Randle but that's it". Its all pretty funny.

I’ve also seen the opposite side of it where Knicks fans say they will literally give us 8 1sts and 3 pick swaps if they can keep Barrett lol.

Would also be funny if the Knicks wanted to keep Quickley because he’s good friends with Donovan.

Then they literally end up giving us Toppin and all of their 8 1sts and 3 pick swaps.

Yes, we gave up our entire draft future but we kept Barrett and Quickley!!!

I think you ship out JC and Conley if you can for something decent. Ideally you are playing Quickley as a point guard... that is where he has the highest upside. Not a traditional pg at all but a homeless methhead version of Steph Curry type of pg. Toppin would be fun... I think Grimes would be a guy we could let them keep (although I like him) to get all the picks.

I have no idea how they get Quickley on the court with those two on the roster... will need a new coach for sure.

I still think Don is going to Orlando.
