Knicks, Jazz Made Progress On Donovan Mitchell Trade In Recent Days Before RJ Barrett Extension 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » 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.
