Yep.
Yeah and I get the pushback from some celtics fans but Brown may not even stay there and windows are shorter than you think. I think that’s push em over the top.
It’s one of the reasons I wanted to rebuild. Those picks are out there and we’d have a good chance to get them with the vet pieces we have… add that to bevy of picks we get in the Rudy and Don trades and we are locked and loaded.
And next year, Westbrook's money is off the books and there will be 2 more picks to get from another desperate team that needs to dump bad salary.
Yeah they become instant favorites, or at least match the Warriors in that regard. Would be really interesting to see a Warriors/Celtics finals with KD in the mix against the Warriors. I would never have cheered for another team as hard as I would the Warriors in that scenario. Would LOVE to see KD get knocked down that notch like that.
KD to Boston would maybe get Miami back in the hunt for Donovan.
I think Miami would love to get him. Unless we like Herro or find someone to give us good draft capital for him they don’t have the goods. There are a few of us that think the Miami trade package is solid and like Herro… myself @Elizah Huge … but I think it’s the plan B if NY really won’t give up the goods.
The problem isn't so much that Miami is distracted by KD (even though that's probably true), it's that Miami doesn't have a good offer for what we have going on now. A Herro-centered package might have been more interesting if we had kept Gobert, but given that our direction now seems to be total tanking, it makes much less sense. It would be "at least something" and maybe the best we can do if we're 100% committed to moving DM, but it's certainly not what I'd prefer.

That guy is an idiot. He is advocating for running borderline play-in team for years, with never a chance at a high draft pick, and wasting Mitchell's prime years, because....reasons?? This is the cleanest break we can get the best re-boot we can hope for. Keeping Mitchell will doom us to be in the middle of the road on the mediocrity treadmill unless we are lucky enough to nab a 2nd borderline all-star with the 14th pick in the draft somehow to pair with him, and even then we would have a year or 2 of 6-8 seeding before Mitchell's asks out anyway. That guy is a moron.SI has really gone downhill. Well, that have for years, but that doesn't really help. It's just not a good article.
Utah Jazz Trading Donovan Mitchell to New York Knicks Would Help Nothing - Inside the Jazz
The Jazz should just simply take him off the trading table for now.
All their chips still isnt enough chips.
What I had heard was Charlotte was one of a couple of teams Miami had told Utah they were trying to work with to make a trade work to get Utah extra pics. FWIW, I heard again that Miami is still very much in the mix.
May have been a Herro deal? Lowry? I think Miami, NY, Toronto are the current viable suitors.
