The astronomical consideration requested by Jazz at the Knicks for Donovan Mitchell!

After Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell could leave the Jazz in the coming weeks, at least if an agreement is reached. The Knicks are in the game, with the desire to make it all happen before training camp in September. However, and given the counterpart advanced by a polemicist, it is unlikely that this soap opera will move in the right direction.

It’s been a pivotal summer for the Jazz, with Danny Ainge motivated to rebuild. Royce O’Neale is the first domino to fall, closely followed by Rudy Gobert. The next ? Donovan Mitchell, who is cited regularly with the Knicks for years to come. Negotiations have been underway for a few days, since New York has resumed contact to try to validate this exchange.

The Donovan Mitchell soap opera already finished?

But like the Kevin Durant episode with the Nets, it won’t be easy. Utah is open to trading the star, however, that doesn’t mean Danny Ainge is ready to give up. If the Knicks really want to recruit Spida this summer, they will have to drop an absolutely crazy counterpart. Stephen A. Smith claims to be aware of the details.

Stephen A. Smith says Jazz want R.J. Barrett and at least 6 1st-round picks from Knicks for Donovan Mitchell: https://t.co/9vwTEbK1dl

Utah doesn’t want Julius Randle back, as far as I know. They don’t want him. The Knicks were however ready to part with him. But the Jazz want RJ Barrett, and six first-round draft picks.

It may sound crazy and yet, not so much. Barrett is a talented player, although he is still awaiting his contract extension for this summer. As for the first 6 draft rounds? Knowing that the Jazz recovered 5 in exchange for Rudy Gobert, it is not surprising to see Ainge asking for more to give up the star of the roster.

As a Knicks fan, no thanks, play the kids, and go out and see how Jalen brunson can finally be a facilitator Knicks haven’t had in decades, if that only leads to 5+ wins fine

As a Knicks fan, no thanks. Let the youngsters play, see how Jalen Brunson does at the Knicks’ lead after decades of nothing. If we only win 5 more games then no problem

Is anyone worth 6 1st round picks???!! He better avg 80 points a game

Is someone really worth 6 first round picks??? He better shoot at 80 points per game

Donovan Mitchell at the Knicks? Let’s say that if the mentioned counterpart is true, then we can forget this exchange. New York will not give it a shot and will prefer to wait a few seasons to sign Spida. Like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, it is possible to achieve a status quo.
