Knicks Offered Evan Fournier, Obi Toppin, Two Unprotected First Round Picks To Jazz For Donovan Mitchell
The New York Knicks would still like to acquire Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz. Thus, far New York has failed to meet Utah's significant asking price for the All-Star guard.
The Knicks offered Evan Fournier, Obi Toppin and two unprotected first round picks (as part of a five-pick package) to the Jazz for Mitchell. That offer was declined, as it's well below what Danny Ainge has been pushing for in a Mitchell deal.
The Jazz are known to be looking for a package of young players, as well as multiple first round picks in exchange for Mitchell. The Knicks would very likely have to include Fournier or Derrick Rose in a trade for Mitchell, as they would be required for salary-matching purposes. The holdup from there becomes how many picks New York will include in a deal and which young players out of the group of Toppin, RJ Barrett, Quentin Grimes and Immanuel Quickley.
