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

[Elizah Huge]

That would be disgusting to deal RJ on a super team friendly deal for 2 picks. Thankfully Ainge will not do that.

 

[Elizah Huge]

RJ is the top asset the Knicks have that the Jazz are after. They aren’t pursuing him to just deal him right after.

 

[Elizah Huge]

I always suspected the Gobert-level deal was what would move Don. 3 Unps, 1 swap, 1 or 2 protected, young player, filler.

Except RJ is leaps and bounds above any player we got from Minnesota.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The Jazz would absolutely dump RJ For two more picks.

The Lakers might be willing to offer said picks for RJ, especially if they were getting off of Westbrook.

Why would we do that if all it takes is Bogey/Beasley/Reddish?

NYK's unprotected picks have more value than RJ. I'll take Jarace Walker or Keyonte George on rookie-scale over RJ right now.

That is just not true at all lol. He is their single most valuable trade asset.

 

[Tony Jones]

Sounds like the Jazz might be folding a bit. Can't get the picks they want so they are now trying to offload long-term salary like Rudy Gay

They aren’t folding at all. Or else this would have been done

So Tony, are the sides talking right now or taking a break?

Not as of last night but I think they will start back up at some point

Do the Jazz want RJ to flip him or to build around? Asking because Fisher mentioned it. I'm guessing its to keep him.

Asking for my employer — is it gonna be a few weeks? Can I get back to productive work the rest of this week and tune this out?

I’d take more unprotected picks from the Knicks over RJ. Hell, they can keep everyone, just give us all the picks and swaps

We might also pawn off Fournier and get 1 instead...

I don't get this. We don't exactly need the cap space, and I hardly see Fournier win a bunch of games on his own. Can't we just keep him? He's a solid player, he could even be worth something at some point. He might be negative value for NYK, I don't think he is for us.

Why the hell do we want him? He only makes us better and we are rebuilding.

Are we concerned about our payroll for the next two years? Losing Rudy G#2 would be good, but I don't think the Jazz would put a lot of value into getting off 2 years of $6M at this point.

It would be if the Lakers just aren't willing to give up both picks. We'd rather have the space than Evan... he is viewed as slightly negative value. We could just keep him of course... but in this scenario he is just the middle ground if they don't want to give up both picks.

Yeah no ****... I think Ainge does that in a second. The Knicks want flexibility and want to retain picks.

 

[hgb]

I don't say we want him, I just say that we're not going to give up anything to get rid of him. The question was if we're taking a lesser offer it if means not getting Evan.

 

[Elizah Huge]

I’d take RJ over any combination of two tradable picks the Knicks have.
