this deal when it finally gets done is going to be ludicrous
REPORT: The Jazz-Knicks deal was “close” on Tuesday night, but the Knicks ended up declining.The Jazz reportedly wanted Immanuel Quickley, Obi Toppin, Quentin Grimes, Miles McBride, and 6 1st-round picks. 🤯🤯🤯(via @tjonesonthenba) pic.twitter.com/KxUOdLfsZx— Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) July 15, 2022

all so the mitchell brunson backcourt can give up one million points a game

Yah that is not a great pairing
― Spottie, Friday, 15 July 2022 14:52 (one year ago) link
plus barrett playing the 3 and randle at the 4? lol. prob one of the worst defensive line ups you could come up with on paper for a team aspiring to be good

the devil on my shoulder is saying "thibs won't play the young guys anyway"
― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Friday, 15 July 2022 15:32 (one year ago) link
smh
none of their young guys will prob ever make an all star game, clinging to quickley and quentin grimes etc has strong “this franchise never has good young players so we’re going to overvalue any draft pick with more than a pulse” vibes to me. maybe there’s an opportunity cost aspect of throwing them all in one trade & not being able to flip them later but if the jazz want those guys i’d prob just throw them in and then try and talk them down on the picks
― J0rdan S., Friday, 15 July 2022 15:49 (one year ago) link
jazz are prob asking for those guys trying to get more picks
― lag∞n, Friday, 15 July 2022 15:53 (one year ago) link
that is fair, just feels to me that if you're gonna sacrifice young and cheap depth and a buttload of future picks you should do it for a player who is better than donovan mitchell.
the market is the market, i guess
― in places all over the world, real stuff be happening (voodoo chili), Friday, 15 July 2022 16:00 (one year ago) link
not that mitchell isn't good or anything, but having the smallest backcourt in the nba in a division with the celtics and raptors is not gonna work imo
you’re bringing logic to a multi year pursuit of a star by the knicks front office!

― lag∞n, Friday, 15 July 2022 16:19 (one year ago) link
that lineup is hilarious i need to see it now. jazz gonna come out of the rudy/dono pairing with like 14 picks and prospects. doing it right. they can also flip like 6 other rotation guys for picks or whatever at the deadline (bojan, conley, beasley, gay, clarkson, pat bev)

keeping them both is the right play imo. they have a ton of talent between KD/kyrie/simmons that they’re virtually assured of not being able to replicate in the next 5 years via trades. KD will never hold out. just run it back

I was listening to the zach Lowe podcast today and he was discussing grimes, toppin, 4 firsts and 3 swaps as a sort of median proposal, which is just hard for me to fathom

I think the knicks are going to “set the market” so to speak

compared to the gobert trade that would be pretty light!

kyrie has a lo-o-o-ng history for teams to look at now. the warts stand out so far that you can't miss them.

Cad my take is that his agent has probably been telling him he’s gotta suck it up and buy into a new role cos the market is telling him he’s done. And his best shot to rehab is stay w the lakers and accept a new role vs getting traded and bought out and be on his 5th team in 5 years and have the stain of being bought out. Russ prob too prideful to accept that and would rather get traded and play for a crap team putting up empty stats.

The confusing part is the agent says the new role that Westbrook must embrace is a "starting role" that has been offered him?

i guess it is CYA for the agent but it’s still a very strange public statement.
