Gotta learn to deal with the media at some point. Nothing like on the job training.

Imagine trading prob the third best player in your franchise’s history for a bunch of bull picks. Feel bad for them.

Like if the Jazz were gonna rip off the Knicks, it would’ve happened already. And they seem to think negotiations are what? Threats? Lol. Bunch of kids. But what could you expect from a population that marries all their cousins because of scripture they read from Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.

That deal isn't going to present itself until his value rehabs a bit.

He's basically our version of the Mavs Porzingis


How do you feel about this potential trade? It doesn't make sense to me from a synergistic standpoint. It just feels like it clutters and confuses things. I've soured on Mitchell the last two years.. he hasn't improved on literally anything he needs to improve upon to take him to that next level. He was greased by Jamal Murray in a series where yeah he got his but his assist to turnover ratio was almost 1 to 1. He got smoked by Jalen Brunson last season. He's got personality issues that prevented him from co-existing with Gobert. He can be an emotional wreck on the court sometimes and doesn't wear it well. I can in my mind definitively say this guy doesn't have "it" and isn't worth 6 FRPs. They should just be focused on trading Randle.


I agree with everything you say about Mitchell. I've said numerous times that he's not one of my favorite players or someone I consider a superstar.

That being said, I think he's a top 20-25ish player and a top 10 scorer right now.

I also think he's available at a discount when you consider his age and the years left on his deal. If we trade 5 picks for him, but only 2 are NYK picks, that isn't a bad deal on value. I have more of an issue trading young players for him than I do those protected picks.

I also view a Mitchell acquisition as a move that makes unloading Randle mandatory. So if we need to have one pouty pseudo-star, I'd rather the one that is a bonafide scorer.

I also think Brunson has shown he can play off ball both in college and in Dallas. He has to shoot/make more pull up 3's to really unlock his next tier but if his C&S %'s hold on volume, I think he and Mitchell can work together offensively. Plus, they will be staggered.

The real player getting smushed out in all this will be RJ


If getting rid of Randle is part of the deal then I'm all for it. But fans should temper their expectations and really realize who they're getting. Mitchell and the Jazz were up against Denver 3-1 and Murray absolutely wrecked them and they hid Mitchell the whole time... his effort the few times he did match up with Murray he gave an appalling level of effort and he vanished early in game 7.

I’m not really sure us as Knicks fans have anything to trash the Jazz about. We’ve been the laughing stock of the NBA since Dolan forced JVG out. The Jazz have been a successful franchise for 30 years now and would have had multiple rings if it wasn’t for the GOAT playing during prime Stockton and Malone. The fan bases have nothing to do with what Ainge or Leon agree to. All I know is in the last 30 years the Jazz have won a ton more and drafted way better.

They are salty for sure and they think they are being spicy but we have to remember that white folk think salt is a spice.
