if you received 4 unprotected 1st from knicks,
that is same as gobert haul and would only be privy to the worst players and salary fillers the knicks could afford.
Not 1 playable asset would be included in the deal other than salary filler.
Why is that? The Jazz actually got players that are actual assets - Walker Kessler who was just drafted in R1, Bolmaro who was drafted in R1 last year, Vanderbilt who many think is worth a 1st, Beverley who the Jazz will very likely flip for picks too. I guess Beasley is somewhat similar to an Evan Foournier in value... hard to tell what he can fetch, but we can keep him and try to rehab his value if he doesn't have positive value.
My point is - you are undervaluing what hte Jazz got for Gobert. You can argue they got the equivalent of 8 firsts+a swap.
If the Knicks had to make the same type of offer IMO it would have to be something like:
- NYK 2023, 2025, 2027 unprotected (equivalent to what MIN gave us)
- NYK 2029 top 5 protected (equivalent to what MIN gave us)
- Pick swap 2026(equivalent to what MIN gave us)
- DAL 2023 pick(equivalent to no. 22 pick in this year's draft)
- Grimes+McBride(equivalent to Vanderbilt and Bolmaro in the MIN trade)
- Fournier and/or Rose(equivalent to Beasley and Beverley) ... this is generous on my part because I think we can actually flip Beverley for an asset.
And That's not to say it will even be enough. By all indications the Jazz want MORE for Mitchell than they did for Gobert.
