Jazz want four unprotected draft picks for Donovan Mitchell

The Post has reported the Jazz are after four unprotected picks and the Knicks are looking to just give two with three conditional picks.  Not having Barrett in the deal would not seem to be deal-breaker. Sources contend unprotected picks are more important to Utah, which reportedly is after the Lakers’ 2027 and 2029 picks in what could be a three-team deal.

Is the Utah Jazz’s long-discussed Donovan Mitchell trade to the Knicks dead? A unique provision added to the contract extension of New York wing R.J. Barrett presents a hiccup, but there are still plenty of pathways to a deal if the sides really want it. sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 1:07 PM Kevin Pelton @kpelton

RJ Barrett is first Knick 1st-round pick to sign second deal w/club since 1999; earlier this month, there was pessimism about Jazz-NYK finding common ground on Donovan Mitchell trade if deal didn’t include Barrett.

Jazz had coveted RJ Barrett in Donovan Mitchell trade talks w/Knicks. Barrett’s extension takes him off the table in those talks for obvious reasons, including ‘poison pill’ provision that makes it very difficult to trade player on rookie extension before extension takes effect. – 11:47 PM Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman

my SCALDING-HOT take: rj barrett is good, his extension is fine, and it in no way complicates donovan mitchell trade talks given the direction in which utah is headed. – 11:19 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed

More on this storyline

Evan Sidery: Donovan Mitchell trade update from @Adrian Wojnarowski on @Get Up: – RJ Barrett was indeed the centerpiece of trade discussions between Jazz and Knicks – Jazz covet unprotected draft picks from New York – Utah has no traction with other teams – Jazz still value Barrett after extension pic.twitter.com/aBlIz0gFS3 -via Twitter @esidery / August 30, 2022 The Jazz holding onto Mitchell — which they have repeatedly indicated they are happy to do, sources with direct knowledge of the situation say — brings significant risk. It will require Mitchell, who is currently working out in Miami and preparing for the season, to buy into what the Jazz are doing. It will require Mitchell to play through any lingering disappointment of not being traded. The Jazz don’t feel that will be an issue and have always been high on Mitchell’s overall character. But, the questions once training camp starts will still be asked, and his mere presence will be a dominant topic. -via The Athletic / August 30, 2022 Quinton Mayo: We keep hearing that Washington’s L.A. mini camp last week was a success, but why?
