“The Knicks are never going to stop crying” Donovan Mitchell adds 2 more teams to his trade Wishlist
Donovan Mitchell
Donovan Mitchell, the star of the Utah Jazz, has been the focus of a lot of rumours this summer after being connected to a trade away from the Jazz. The guard has been sought after by the New York Knicks for some time, but no deal has yet taken place. Three teams are on the three-time All-trade Star’s Wishlist, according to Tony Jones of The Athletic. Amid speculations it is seen that Mitchell’s top NBA teams to play for are the Miami Heat, Brooklyn Nets, and New York Knicks. The guard hasn’t yet requested a trade, though.
According to insiders, the Jazz have several offers for Donovan Mitchell on the table from clubs other than the Knicks as of 25th morning that they consider enticing and worthwhile to pursue. According to insiders, should negotiations between Utah and the Knicks stagnate, the Jazz believe these proposals are worthwhile of pursuing.
Which team could possibly acquire Donovan Mitchell
Last year, Donovan Mitchell averaged 25.9 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game. He had a field goal percentage of 44.8% and an arc percentage of 35.5%. His playoff achievements have been even more impressive, particularly in the 2020 NBA Playoffs, when he made his true NBA debut. As long as they have Ben Simmons on staff, the Brooklyn Nets—one of the clubs Mitchell allegedly would want to play for—cannot trade for the guard. Due to a rule, two players who are covered by the designated rookie extension cannot be acquired by a team via trade. Due to this, the Nets are no longer a viable trade partner for the Utah Jazz.
As far as Miami Heat is concerned that outcome is doubtful because the Heat just does not possess the resources that the Jazz are seeking for. The Knicks are a logical possible trade partner since they possess the assets that the Jazz are looking for however, reports claim that as of the morning of 25th August, the two parties had not reached a consensus.
According to insiders, the Jazz are unwavering in their demands for a trade of Donovan Mitchell. They want a shedload of first-round selections that are not protected. They desire young players with reasonable salaries and substantial club autonomy. This is supported by the fact that they recently traded Patrick Beverley for Horton-Tucker and Johnson so making it quite evident that the Jazz will have a youthful team throughout the next campaign.
However, insiders claim that the Jazz are content to start the season with Donovan Mitchell on the roster, regardless of who else is there. They are dedicated to the high price they have set for themselves if they are convinced to exchange Mitchell. They are okay with retaining him on the roster until training camp begins and throughout the season if that price is not paid.
