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

The idea of holding out would be New York falls massively on their face to start the season.

Imagine: Brunson goes back to being mid, RJ continues to have another stalled development year, Randle is still Julius Randle, and none of the young talent they are clinging onto can prosper around their flawed core.

NYK would be begging for Mitchell.

I’m begging for him to be off the team now, though.

I’m still prepared to be patient if Ainge is omniscient on how this would play out if he holds out but Jesus, I am ****ing DONE with this ****ing circus.

Gimme the piss jerseys for a piss team. Would prefer that to dragging out the embarrassment of last season.

There is a lot of pressure on the Knicks' front office to get a star on board (they punted on a lottery pick for more picks to make this trade) and to make the playoffs this season. I don't think Leon Rose can afford to miss out on Mitchell. If things don't go well with Mitchell, he can still say, "I brought a star to New York. Now we'll go get another big-name free agent." That should be enough to save his job. But he can't come up empty this offseason with Brunson being his main acquisition.

Also, Brunson benefits tremendously from Luka's gravity.

You know that trope in movies where a guy lends a friend his car, and his friend just wrecks the **** out of it, then he casually returns the keys to the guy like nothing happened? I imagine Ainge is going to "return the keys" to Ryan here in a few days and be like, "don't worry, it's just a few scratches, they'll buff right out..."

Quite the contrary. We are going to be cool as **** when we have 20+ 1sts in the next 7 years. We are getting Wembanyama or Henderson.

It’s also funny because you need to take this L on your chin for saying he was going to run the franchise in the ground and sell.

He actually signed off on doing something extremely hard that not a lot of owners want to do and that is tear it down to the studs and start over.

Shoulda done like Portland with their "keep Portland weird instead". Although I'm not sure there is a good place to lean... "Utah we try real hard". Maybe just "Utah its better than most of Nevada". Or like "utah is like the sneaky hot chick in HS that you went out with".

Danny showed him the financials of tanking vs. staying in the tax doe.
 
Just think about the next collective bargaining. The NBA owners will rage. Almost every single star that's not already in a huge market or a foreign player has "demanded" a trade.
These franchises trade all the assets to aquire a player or to build around a player and then it keeps blowing up.
I wonder what will come out of it. Many diehard fans are definitely getting sick of it.
Look at the NFL. They have so much control of the player movement. Most of the teams keep there stars as long as they want them.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a max contract = no trade for first 75% of contract length. True salary cap. 1 protected player right where the team can keep a free agent for 1 year. The player movement had really hurt the NBA in my opinion.
