Spoke to Charlie Ward about the extension curse ending after RJ Barrett’s extension.
He’s a fan of Barrett and a proponent of his patient development. Not a fan of acquiring Donovan Mitchell.

From earlier: RJ Barrett is first NYK 1st-round pick to sign 2nd 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.

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

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

More on this storyline

As the Knicks enter their third month negotiating with the Jazz on a Donovan Mitchell package, they might want to consider making sure Cam Reddish is part of a September deal. The Post has learned Reddish wants a change of scenery from New York after he was traded there in January and didn’t initially crack the rotation to build confidence. An NBA source said Reddish is looking for a larger role. -via New York Post / September 1, 2022 The Lakers have interest in the 6-foot-8 Reddish and could be part of a three-team deal with Mitchell. If they aren’t included, the Knicks could do a separate deal with Los Angeles, perhaps to recoup a first-round pick they lost in a Utah scenario. -via New York Post / September 1, 2022 NBA Central: “I think Donovan Mitchell would love to play for Miami. I think the Heat would love to have him.” – ESPN’s Brian Windhorst pic.twitter.com/DQlapz8zef -via Twitter @TheNBACentral / September 1, 2022
