The Knicks and the Jazz have one month left to agree on a trade. Donovan Mitchell. One by one, the interested teams abandoned the track, and according to Marc Stein, the two parties would have the will to agree before the start of the training camp. No question of poisoning the recovery with a player who has his back between two chairs.
According to our colleague, there is a ” reasonable chance » that the Lakers invite themselves in the transaction to get rid of the contract of Russell Westbrook (47 million dollars), and they have two first rounds of Draft which could satisfy the Jazz, and thus help the Knicks to recover Mitchell. The Lakers have just set up an exchange with the Jazz, and the current seems to be going rather well between Danny Ainge and Rob Pelinka.
Our colleague imagines that the Knicks and the Jazz would release one player each as compensation for the Lakers. He evokes Evan Fournier and Bojan Bogdanovic. The first will be barred by Mitchell if the latter arrives in New York, while the second has his ticket out in the “reconstruction” operation of the Jazz. But other elements could interest the Lakers, such as Malik Beasley or Jordan Clarkson. Able to shoot 15-20 points per game, both have this joker profile off the bench that is currently lacking in the Lakers squad.
