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 Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat

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?

You only get one chance to cash in your draft chips and idk if Donovan Mitchell is the guy you wanna bet on right now – 3:22 PM Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
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 David Locke @DLocke09

I’m obviously curious to see what sort of package Utah gets for Donovan Mitchell. But I’m also curious to see what they get for Bojan Bogdanovic, Jordan Clarkson, Mike Conley, Rudy Gay and some of the guys they got from MIN

Donovan Mitchell (25)

Mitchell Robinson (24)
Isaiah Hartenstein (24)
Obi Toppin (24)
Immanuel Quickley (23)
RJ Barrett (22)
Quentin Grimes (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 Rob Perez @WorldWideWob

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

Why Donovan Mitchell is worth the gamble nydailynews.com/sports/basketb… – 11:50 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
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 Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

too often feels like there’s an oversimplification of these donovan mitchell-type sweepstakes.
skepticism of opportunity cost/timing behind star trades does not always equate to an over-romanticism of draft picks and most certainly isn’t anti-getting really good players. – 6:46 PM Sean Highkin @highkin
Ben Simmons and Donovan Mitchell being traded for each other would be extremely funny for anyone old enough to remember how bitterly their teams’ fans fought over the Rookie of the Year race in 2018. – 6:40 PM Rob Mahoney @RobMahoney

More on this storyline

Tommy Beer: 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. (via @BKCyclones) pic.twitter.com/BBljq30fwn -via Twitter @TommyBeer / July 14, 2022 RJ Barrett, the third pick of the 2019 NBA Draft, was considered more valuable to the Knicks than the Jazz, and so wasn’t included in the most recent conversation, multiple sources told the Tribune. -via Salt Lake Tribune / July 14, 2022 In order to complete a trade, the Jazz would need to acquire a larger salary back from the Knicks as well. Julius Randle, though, would likely not be that piece — Evan Fournier or Derrick Rose are more likely, a source said. -via Salt Lake Tribune / July 14, 2022
