Put Eve alone in a room with Danny Ainge and I feel confident we’ll come out ahead in the DM trade.
Monica Lewinsky style? Wingo... keep your head out of the gutter man.

He's the better fit, because of size, IMO better play making, and solid defense. We have Thibs as our vocal leader...
Im not sure Mitchell's better scoring (and its really not a huge margin) outweigh the defensive back court issues he'd compound. If the price was less for SGA , he's the better fit IMO. He really doesn't have any major flaws to his game and has not even hit his prime.
Y’all both reaching. Points were strong enough.
SGA is not overrated as a defender.
Donovan Mitchell is a MUCH better scorer than SGA.

How does forfeiting a second rounder complicate anything?

Seems like he was doing a lot of talking on Thibs behalf which he has done during the season. But yes he’s more of a front office mouthpiece. Either way we know what he’s saying is coming from the inside

It may not be as sexy for the press conference but he's a better fit. He may not be a good of a pure scorer as Mitchell is but he's a better all around two way player and he has the size and length paired with RJ to make the Knick competitive against any wing combo they'd see.
Would they take back a couple of the 1sts they sent NYK to get the #11 along with one or two of the Knicks own picks now that Chet is out for the year? I'm not sure Presti would need as much young player compensation either allowing the Knicks to keep most of their youth. Presti getting picks in acquiring SGA for PG then getting picks for SGA is a win both ways and he doesn't need the rob anyone to pad his rep.
I don't know SGA has the type of league wide respect that would attract another star like Mitchell might but if the Knicks are winning that is enough lure. Besides, if it allows the Knicks to have the assets to trade for another star then that might not even matter much anyway. Maybe Rose should leak this 'rumor' to keep Ainge in his feels about it, it's an interesting idea to consider.

What were they going to do with a 34 year vet journeyman on their roster? Might as well flip him for a young player who did show some promise not too long ago.

they had the 23rd best offensive rating last year and the 22nd the year before. they need high level scoring way more than anything else.

Our defensive rating was much better after the All Star break.
