Jazz want more picks and Quentin Grimes from Knicks or more picks and Max Strus from Heat for Donovan Mitchell

Andy Larsen: From my understanding of what the Jazz are looking for in Donovan Mitchell trade negotiations… – Knicks deal: They want more picks (‘29?), pick swaps, and/or Quentin Grimes – Heat deal: More picks + Max Strus – Raptors deal: Not close whatsoever – Thunder deal: Not close, picks have no upside – 4 team deal: Actually Jazz could do that

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
OKC shouldn’t be interested in a Donovan Mitchell trade.
Next summer is the move for OKC. New CBA & clean cap space.
Mitchell is nice but not for the assets/the max & not a fit with SGA/Giddey.
OKC’s future is bright. No need to accelerate a rebuild during Chet’s rookie year. – 2:14 PM David Locke @DLocke09

Some of them would go to Utah, but I generally like the idea of having several talented young guys. – 1:38 AM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
The Knicks should really try to get Jarred Vanderbilt in the Donovan Mitchell trade if it’s possible.
Eventually they’re going to realize how badly they need a defensive-minded 4 on a team with Brunson and Mitchell, and while Vandy can’t shoot, he’d be a great stopgap there. – 12:31 AM Rob Perez @WorldWideWob

This is big. A possible Donovan Mitchell move to New York for the Knicks gonna change the whole league. Alongside Jalen Brunson can make a dynamic duo who can lead the Knicks on the floor. What a situation! #NBATwitter #KnicksTwitter

Why Donovan Mitchell is worth the gamble nydailynews.com/sports/basketb… – 11:50 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
My major question on Donovan Mitchell right now is what the matching salary going to Utah is.
Julius Randle makes the most sense for the Knicks imo. He just doesn’t fit with Mitchell/Brunson/Barrett. But Utah probably doesn’t want that contract and would prefer Rose and Fournier – 11:48 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

too often feels like there’s an oversimplification of these donovan mitchell-type sweepstakes.
skepticism of opportunity cost/timing behind star trades does not always equate to an over-romanticism of draft picks and most certainly isn’t anti-getting really good players. – 6:46 PM Sean Highkin @highkin
Ben Simmons and Donovan Mitchell being traded for each other would be extremely funny for anyone old enough to remember how bitterly their teams’ fans fought over the Rookie of the Year race in 2018. – 6:40 PM Rob Mahoney @RobMahoney

Quentin Grimes is averaging 24.0 points, 4.3 assists and 4.0 boards through the #Knicks first three games.
The only player to average at least 24/4/4 in Las Vegas last year was Tyrese Maxey, who went on to enjoy a remarkable breakout season for the Sixers
tommybeer.substack.com/p/knicks-sl-sq… – 10:08 AM Jonathan Wasserman @NBADraftWass
Notable Vegas storyline—Quentin Grimes’ breakout. Averaging 24 PTs, 4.3 ASTs, 1.7 STLs through 3 games. Looks a level above everyone else. Value obviously tied to shotmaking but he’s delivered lot more 2PT play finishing + setting up teammates. Feels like Knicks next starting SG. pic.twitter.com/fG5FEoGu1o – 9:29 AM Fred Katz @FredKatz
Quentin Grimes making a conscious effort to put the ball on the floor during summer league is very, very interesting. He was pretty good attacking closeouts as a rookie, but Knicks have had him working on initiating offense. Color me intrigued. – 11:17 PM

More on this storyline

Andy Larsen: They’ve asked the Heat to engage a third team if they’re interested in Donovan, because they don’t find the packages the Heat can offer sufficient -via Twitter @andyblarsen / July 14, 2022 “I think ultimately are going to wind up with Donovan Mitchell.” — @TimBontemps 👀 -via Twitter @GetUpESPN / July 14, 2022 League sources have indicated that the Jazz have shut down some previous inquiries about Mitchell from other teams, but that was mostly based on timing and belief that offers would not have measured up to what the Jazz feel Mitchell is worth. -via deseret.com / July 14, 2022 After struggling to find a consistent niche in his first full season with the Heat during the 2020-21 season, Strus made the decision to go back to summer league even though he had a deal lined up for the next season. “Summer league was everything for me last season,” Strus says. “It provided all the confidence in the world for me to do what I did last season, honestly.” And it was exactly what the Heat were looking for: a showcase for the young prospect to shine as the leading man for the team. -via ESPN / July 6, 2022 Strus’ progression from G Leaguer to NBA starter reinforces the player development reputation the Heat have created over Pat Riley’s two-plus decades in charge. “I knew that from the first week I was here that this is exactly what is meant for me,” Strus says. “It starts through practicing and putting in extra hours, and they really value that here.” -via ESPN / July 6, 2022 Michael Scotto: Miami Heat players Max Strus ($1.8 million), Gabe Vincent ($1.8 million) and Omer Yurtseven (1.75 million) all had their contracts guaranteed for the 2022-23 season, as expected. -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / June 30, 2022 The Knicks possess eight future first-round picks — four of their own and four acquired via trades from other teams — to use in a package. New York has also stockpiled young players, such as Quentin Grimes who is believed to be of interest to Utah, sources said. -via The Athletic / July 13, 2022 Quentin Grimes has a simple goal for his stay in Las Vegas. “Really come out here and dominate,” he said after the Knicks summer league team went through its first practice at Cox Pavilion. “I feel like I played well last year. Just coming in this year being a second-year guy, I know what to expect, I know how the games are. Just go out there and try to dominate every time offensively and defensively.” -via New York Post / July 5, 2022 “It was my first year really ever coming off the bench,” Grimes said. “You got to earn Thibs’ trust, earn Thibs’ minutes. Going in you have to fight for everything to get the opportunity, make the most of it. I had an injury, had to go through adversity. I think it made me ready for whatever’s to come this year.” -via New York Post / July 5, 2022
