Knicks, Jazz Made Progress On Donovan Mitchell Trade In Recent Days Before RJ Barrett Extension
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2022 3:16 am
Leon Rose set a Monday deadline for the Utah Jazz to reach agreement with the New York Knicks on a Donovan Mitchell trade, otherwise he planned to move forward with a RJ Barrett extension.
Without a trade agreement in place with the Jazz, Rose and the Knicks followed through with the extension deal.
The Knicks and Jazz had closed the gap on a Mitchell trade in recent days, but neither side was prepared to go further before the deadline set by Rose.
Barrett could still be included in a deal for Mitchell, but is no subject to the Poison Pill provision.
