Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones

I know when this will happen… first week of August I am out of town and will have no service for most of the week… guarantee it happens then.
Nah dude, didn't you hear what bigmike said? The deal framework is already done. We should be getting news of the trade any second now.
 
I'm so ready for a deal to get done so I can stop checking this forum nonstop. Hopefully that is the domino that begins the movement of Clarkson, Bogey and Beverly as well. I have a hard time believing that we find a taker for Conley as well but maybe during the season if he is playing well we can move him for something.

My source, Sausage Fingers Fred, is the only source I trust… he says it’s gonna be a long summer.

Also just trust whatever that Monty guy says. He always nails it.

Apparently this guy reported the Fournier signing before anyone else and a few other things.

It completes the trifecta of random internet sources. @bigmike said a deal was agreed upon, ICC from the Heat forum said the Heat were notified that they were out of the running and now this.

So Jazz are trying to free up salary in this deal while still having Clarkson, Bogey and Conley on the roster. Maybe they're looking to have the flexibility to offload Conley without giving up picks and then get additional picks and cheap contracts with Clarkson and Bogey?
 
Jazz out:
- Donovan Mitchell
- Mike Conley

Jazz in:
- Obi Toppin
- Immanuel Quickley
- Russell Westbrook
- 23/25/27/29 1sts from Knicks
- 26/28 pick swaps from Knicks
- 2023 Dallas 1st
- 2025 Milwaukee 1st
- 2028 1st from Lakers
- 27/29 pick swaps from Lakers

Knicks out:
- Obi Toppin
- Immanuel Quickley
- Evan Fournier
- 23/25/27/29 1sts
- 26/28 pick swaps
- 2023 Dallas 1st
- 2025 Milwaukee 1st

Knicks in:
- Donovan Mitchell

Lakers out:
- Russell Westbrook
- 2028 1st
- 27/29 pick swaps

Lakers in:
- Mike Conley
- Evan Fournier

We end up with a total of 7 1sts and 4 pick swaps. We obviously buy Westbrook out. Knicks get Mitchell. Lakers save 6.3M in salary plus about 16M off their luxury tax bill. They get Conley and Fournier who they desperately could use. It’s a win-win all the way around.

I don’t know who’d we be trying to salary dump and why I would think we’d take on salary like Westbrook for additional draft picks.
 
We have already heard from the guy who broke the Carson Wentz trade and now we have heard from the guy who broke the Evan Fournier signing. We are blessed to be in the presence of source gods.
