Guess What? A Transaction

Patrick Beverley is heading to the Lakers.

For Horton Hears A Who And Stanley Johnson.

Utah now has eight backcourt players by my dead reckoning. 

Mitchell, Conley, Horton-Tucker, Alexander-Walker, Clarkson, Bolmaro, Beasley, Butler

Two centers

Azubuike and Kessler

Bogdonavich and Fontecchio at SF

Vanderbilt and Rudy Gay at PF

Clarkson [30], Gay [36] and Conley [34] are guaranteed/player options for 2022-23 and 2023-24, at $13-14 million, $6.1-6.4 million and $22-24 million respectively. 

Bogdonavich [33] and his 19 million come off the books in the summer of 2023.

Beasley [26] at 15 million, but a team option for his 16.5 next summer. 

Horton-Tucker 10 million for 2022-23, player option for 11 million 2023-24. 

Ainge inherited a shit show. 

Still, if the Knicks actually offered him two unprotected #1 picks, plus three protected #1 picks, plus a big wing in Fournier [18 million guaranteed for 2022-23 and 2023-24] and a PF on a rookie scale contract in Toppin AND DANNY TURNED IT DOWN, well, he is fucking delusional.

I agree with all that stuff in green. Furthermore I hope we have since taken the offer off the table.

The times (and stories) keep a changin

https://hoopshype.com/2022/08/23/jazz-strongly-interested-in-rj-barrett/

Utah wants Barrett - OK

Grimes would welcome being in the deal if Mitchell is coming, since he sees DM as a roadblock to PT.  OK on that too.

Meanwhile Beverley lands in LA and Ainge gets my pal THT as a building block/trade piece.  Could Horton-Tucker be rerouted to NY as part of the Mitchell deal?  29 mil plus 10 so we would need to send 39ish  -  Randle and Fournier equal about 41.

Brunson/Rose/Quickley
Mitchell/Grimes
Barrett/Reddish/THT
Toppin/add (Melo?)/Hartenstein
Robinson/Hartenstein/Sims

- Reddish and Quickley still available if we wanted to deal them.

Roger that -except reportedly there ARE now other suitors.  Could be Danny just doing his due diligence.  He can easily put himself in Miami's shoes (and Knicks as well) and ask himself how he would play it if HE was seeking the star 

We shall see how it plays out.

Donovan Mitchell has now officially requested a trade.

Has three preferred landing spots.

New York - check
Miami - check
and.........................................










BROOKLYN.



The plot thickens.

Would NEW YORK do a three way deal that would land Mitchell in Brooklyn?

(You have to figure Nets do not have the draft capital)

What might that look like?  Who do we want from Nets?  And do we even entertain such a deal if it will strengthen a division opponent while strengthening us as well?

Mitchell for Simmons?


per Kamla on NBA Radio (just musing).

Would  Nets give up Simmons defense, while being done with his lack of dependability?

I think the Nets would love to shove Simmons out the door. His teammates as well, after that team chat he ran out of in the playoffs when asked "if he was playing tonight."

As for the Knicks, here is the truthiest truth:

Tweet - Alex B. -@KnicksCentral
Some Knicks fans want Donovan Mitchell

Some are done with the saga and dont care anymore

Some never wanted him to begin with

Some now want Shai

Nobody legitimate wants to trade RJ

Bottom line, just trade Julius Randle and 99% of the fans will be happy going into next season

Instead of trading Julius Randle coach him on how and when to give up the fucking ball. Add a contract rider with bonus incentives for assists...

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
