Look at the language in the report - it's obvious the Jazz have nowhere else to go and are trying to push the Knicks:
"
The Knicks’ asset pool — up to eight first-round draft picks and young players such as Quentin Grimes, Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin —
gives them a clear opportunity to acquire Mitchell"
"
the Jazz are not operating with a sense of urgency"
"
Along with New York, several other teams have expressed interest to the Jazz when it comes to Mitchell, such as Washington, Miami, Toronto, Charlotte, Sacramento and Atlanta, according to sources." (none of these teams have the assets)
Yet since Shams is player/agent based he does throw a bone to Donovan:
"
Sources said the three-time NBA All-Star has not requested a trade or attempted to force his way out of Utah, but should the franchise move toward a full rebuild a competitor like Mitchell would prefer to be in an environment geared toward winning now, not later"
We just have to wait this out - no 6 picks and Grimes and Obi. The get no more than they got for the wolves. 3 unprotected, 2 protected, filler.
