Nets interested in Donovan Mitchell

Earlier in the free agency period, several teams monitoring the Donovan Mitchell situation saw the Heat as the favorite to land him via trade. But Brooklyn has interest in landing Mitchell as well.

If the Knicks get Donovan Mitchell without giving up RJ Barrett, they’d have four starters under 26 (Mitchell, Barrett, Brunson, Robinson) and a bunch of other young guys on the bench.
I don’t really care if that’s not a championship team yet. It’s really good and really young. – 9:26 AM Roland Lazenby @lazenby

I think Twitter has slightly underrated Donovan Mitchell over the last day or so.
He’s not a top-five player, but he was just the engine of the No. 1 offense. Basically everyone who does that makes the Hall of Fame, and he did it without another 20-point scorer. – 8:44 AM Tas Melas @TasMelas

Spoke to a Western Conference scout today here in Vegas about Donovan Mitchell. He said he has heard Heat have made interest clear. The long-time scout said he would move Herro in such a deal. (Robinson, picks likely also would have to go out.) – 6:07 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops

Let’s be clear about this: the Jazz are currently not close to a Donovan Mitchell trade. And much like Gobert, they have no issues whatsoever in keeping him. Either a team is going to meet the bar to make this a convo, or he will be with the Jazz. They are not giving him away – 5:58 PM StatMuse @statmuse

If I’m the Knicks I’m not offering RJ Barrett in a Donovan Mitchell deal.
Up to eight firsts. Some combination of IQ/Obi/Grimes/McBride. All of that is fine. But I’m daring someone to outbid me before I give up Barrett. His ascent next to Mitchell would be their upside. – 5:48 PM Jorge Sierra @hoopshype

More on this storyline

Eddie Johnson: I have a feeling that a Mega Blockbuster trade @NBA is going to happen and it could involve 3 to 5 teams, now that D Mitchell is on the block as expected! 👀👀 -via Twitter @Jumpshot8 / July 13, 2022 Clutch Points: “I’m willing to bet everything I own and have in the bank account that he will be gone from the Utah Jazz.” Kendrick Perkins doesn’t see Donovan Mitchell staying on the Jazz team this year 👀 pic.twitter.com/spBVoVvAH0 -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / July 13, 2022 The New York Knicks have eight tradable first-round picks and a need and a desire for a star player like Donovan Mitchell, who is from the New York area. Some people believe this is an inevitability. It’s just a matter of what price can be negotiated. Other teams are interested in Mitchell and it can go in a different direction. They can keep Mitchell, or at least posture they’re going to keep Mitchell. But I think we’re going to hear a lot about Mitchell and the New York Knicks in the coming days. … People feel that everything the Jazz are doing right now is just an effort to elicit the best offer they can get from the Knicks. -via YouTube / July 13, 2022
