From earlier: Utah & NYK spoke about trade involving Donovan Mitchell before Knicks’ finalized free-agent agreements. Utah sought package that included Mitchell Robinson (among other players) & at least 3 first round picks. NYK deemed ask to be too high: sny.tv/articles/knick… – 8:27 PM

Donovan Mitchell will be in NYC this weekend – throwing out the first pitch before the Brooklyn Cyclones game on Saturday night.
The team will also hand out Donovan Mitchell bobbleheads to fans in attendance.

Wonder if NY considers sitting Grimes tonight? Would be a possible indication that he’s potentially part of the package in a Donovan Mitchell deal… – 7:05 PM

A man linked to the Knicks for years is finally available, and the Knicks have the resources to go get him.
But do they want to pay the price?

OKC shouldn’t be interested in a Donovan Mitchell trade.
Next summer is the move for OKC. New CBA & clean cap space.
Mitchell is nice but not for the assets/the max & not a fit with SGA/Giddey.
OKC’s future is bright. No need to accelerate a rebuild during Chet’s rookie year. – 2:14 PM

Donovan Mitchell (25)

Mitchell Robinson (24)
Isaiah Hartenstein (24)
Obi Toppin (24)
Immanuel Quickley (23)
RJ Barrett (22)
Quentin Grimes (22)
Cam Reddish (22)
Some of them would go to Utah, but I generally like the idea of having several talented young guys. – 1:38 AM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
The Knicks should really try to get Jarred Vanderbilt in the Donovan Mitchell trade if it’s possible.
Eventually they’re going to realize how badly they need a defensive-minded 4 on a team with Brunson and Mitchell, and while Vandy can’t shoot, he’d be a great stopgap there. – 12:31 AM

The Knicks possess the ideal blend of draft capital and young talent to make a strong offer to the rebuilding Jazz for Donovan Mitchell.

This is big. A possible Donovan Mitchell move to New York for the Knicks gonna change the whole league. Alongside Jalen Brunson can make a dynamic duo who can lead the Knicks on the floor. What a situation! #NBATwitter #KnicksTwitter

My major question on Donovan Mitchell right now is what the matching salary going to Utah is.
Julius Randle makes the most sense for the Knicks imo. He just doesn’t fit with Mitchell/Brunson/Barrett. But Utah probably doesn’t want that contract and would prefer Rose and Fournier – 11:48 PM

More on this storyline

 

A few notes on the Knicks-Utah Jazz discussions around a Donovan Mitchell trade: New York and Utah spoke about a deal earlier this week prior to the Knicks formally announcing their free-agent signings, per SNY sources. The Jazz and Knicks talked about a package that would have included Mitchell Robinson and at least three first-round picks, per SNY sources. Utah had interest in Robinson. Robinson has since finalized his contract with the Knicks and cannot be traded until Dec 15. -via SportsNet New York / July 14, 2022

In earlier talks, Utah had expressed interest in a package that included Quentin Grimes, per SNY sources. I don’t know if the Knicks’ thinking has changed, but I know members of the organization felt Utah was asking for too much at the time. On Grimes, specifically, the organization values the second-year guard and top decision-makers had been unwilling to move him in previous trade talks, including in the Cam Reddish trade. -via SportsNet New York / July 14, 2022

Also, as of Tuesday evening, sources familiar with the dynamic said the Knicks and Jazz were not close to making a deal. The Athletic reported on Tuesday night that the Knicks and Jazz had been in touch on a deal within the previous 24 hours and said Grimes is believed to be of interest to the Jazz. Teams in touch with the Jazz earlier in the week came away with the impression that Utah prioritized acquiring draft capital in any deal for Mitchell, as SNY reported on Tuesday. -via SportsNet New York / July 14, 2022
