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

[Maneesh]

Imagine choosing RJ instead of Mitchell. Only knocks can be so stupid

 

[rjfan]

The reactions from Knicks fans to a scenario of not getting Donovan and paying that money to Barrett may be real gold (even better when december comes)

So, I guess this person knew what they were talking about.

Told y'all it ain't happening this year

Knicks fans know that extending RJ gets them nowhere. Ainge shouldn’t budge.

 

[Pinhead]

RJ to Utah never made any sense… if this was really on the table we dodged a bullet.

I bet DON is pissed right now! I hope this motivates him to come and kill the league this season. Knicks chose RJ over DON.

Starting to think you may be right.

I am so confused why people think the extension of a guy that NY didn’t want to send and the Jazz didn’t want to receive means the trade is off.

Did I miss something with actual gravity?

It’s the Leon Rose ultimatum that makes me think the deal is off, at least for a while. I can’t see Ainge responding well.

The woj article dumps a lot of cold water on the deal happening too.

Interestingly, it’s radio silence thus far from Shams, Tony, Andy, etc… I suspect the Jazz response is in the works.

Mostly because of Woj's article.

All I saw was that Barrett signed an extension and that it narrows the possible parameters of a deal.

Because according to Woj reporting the Jazz did want RJ and valued him and NY did want to send him. So with RJ out of the picture who's in the deal now? if no RJ then who's in the deal that the Jazz value enough to come off the ask of 4 unprotected 1st?

Some key takeaways from Woj article:

- Jazz valued Barrett.
- Jazz/Knicks are no longer engaged on trade talks.
- Real chance Donovan is on the Jazz roster going into camp.

Jazz aren’t and weren’t getting 4 unprotected. If you look through this thread and even most of the chatter throughout this saga, RJ isn’t in most of those deals.

You can also mark me down for believing that Woj’s reporting is tilted since he has a massive conflict of interest here.

There is this angle. Why the mysterious silence from Shams, Tony, and Andy on this?

Woj reports what his sources tell him, he’s not a prophet. The chatter on here for weeks has been that any deal would probably materialize closer to training camp.

Ainge ****ed around and found out I guess.

If the deal was RJ and the picks mentioned it would have been better to get it done. Still ways to do it obvi but Rose just followed through on one threat. Trader Danny should consider what’s best for us and leave his ego at the door here before he becomes Almost Ainge.

I’m not exactly sure what they’re supposed to report.

At a certain point you gotta use some intuition. The Knicks master plan for years has been to amass draft capital to go after a star, ideally a CAA guy, and ideally someone that actually wants to play in that ********.

So now the Knicks are just walking away from the table for all of time? Because a guy that for most of this wasn’t considered to be seriously in discussion?
