Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones
- Thread starter Elizah Huge
- Start date
They're a team that I can theoretically (at least in my own mind) construct a good argument for them to be interested.
They could put together a nice package (with Suggs, maybe Isaac, etc.) along with picks, and still have a lot left. It would make some sense for Banchero to not have a situation where all the offensive creation is put on him immediately (which I think it will at this point), and it would be good for Donovan over the long haul (I think) to have a great offensive talent like Banchero alongside of him. A lineup of Fultz, DM, Wagner, Banchero, Carter/Bamba at least sounds workable as a start to a good long-term plan.
But on the other hand, I'm not surprised at all that they've shown no inclination to try to hurry the process up by pushing for a DM trade. That's a defensible position as well.

They get Mitchell, Butler (stinks) and some other scrub.
If they balk, take out the 2031 one.

I mean, we all know it's going to happen eventually.
These guys are reporting the same thing I heard and tried to tell you all last week. Was reaffirmed yesterday. The only thing I know about the return is that we are going to be extremely happy. The player haul sucks, the pick haul is fantastic.
This guy also announced the Gobert trade would happen the same day that it actually did. On the morning show, he said Gobert would be traded within 24 hours, and the Gobert-to-Minnesota deal went public that afternoon.
So is it NYK or MIA ?

He needs to shut his mouth period. Perk guaranteed we were going to lose the series to Memphis last year when we went down 0-1. Don came back and we won 4 straight.
Perk is a hack.

i've assumed the DM deal has been holding up these deals
When is it going down? The player haul sucks? As in we are getting Toppin and that’s it or Grimes and that’s it? Plus how many picks are we talking? Give us a little something extra please!

It's for sure going to happen. Can't turn back now. NY is the only team with the draft capital and incentive to do the trade how Ainge wants it.
The question will be - how many picks do we get in this trade that end up being in the top 10?

1-2 weeks ago, Monty was saying that his sources were telling him that the Jazz weren’t looking to move from Donovan. So I fully expect a trade to happen soon, and for Monty to remind us all that he was predicting this MONTHS ago.
