Good post, JaqD
Need two sides - well actually three for this offer
1 - salary match
2 - young player to help start the Utah rebuild
3 - bushel of picks Ainge thinks Mitchell is worth.
1 - you would think would be Fornier
2 - Grimes, Toppin or Quickley, maybe sprinkle in Sims
3 - 5, 6, 8??? How much protection?
Not sure there has been a negotiation. Just a price set by Danny and Knicks ignoring.
Ainge wont bid it down until he gets into it with other teams - so could take a while before you get a whittled down version we'd all love to see.
