New York Knicks "ran away from sandals" at the huge price of Donovan Mitchell
New York Knicks is the most active team since Utah Jazz for sale Donovan Mitchell. It seems that the Salt Lake city team is taking advantage of this lust.
Recently, CEO Danny Kinge sent Utah's request in the Mitchell deal. Specifically, the Vivint Arena team wants to have 6 rounds of NBA Draft, plus Quentin Grimes, Immanuel Quickley, Obi Toppin and Miles McBride.
Before the price up to 10 players, including potential faces, New York Knicks decided to say no and willing to spend more time negotiating.
Utah Jazz expressed his intentions: bringing many young players with rookie contracts, avoiding the stars and turning on the tank mode to get the selections at NBA Draft.
Meanwhile, although there are many teams looking at Mitchell, New York Knicks does not need to close the application too soon, when competitors are still struggling.
Miami Heat can only offer 2 picks for Utah Jazz, and if they want the service of the player born in 1996, they will likely need a third party.
New Orleans Pelicans are eligible (and ready) to display 6 rounds for Utah, but they themselves do not necessarily have to own Donovan Mitchell while having CJ McCollum in hand.
OKC Thunder and Houston Rockets have also been reputation, but it seems that this is a move to take the rules, because both have just started the process of rebuilding and need picking more than a All-Star player.
The New York Knicks is still leading the race and does not necessarily suffer the "tight guillotine" price of Utah Jazz at the present time - the time the negotiations have just begun.
