Heat never made a trade offer for Donovan Mitchell?

At the end of the day, according to sources, the Knicks would not part with the third unprotected first round pick the Jazz wanted in a package that would have been headlined by small forward RJ Barrett, which had become a snag point in talks for an extended period of time. -via The Athletic / September 2, 2022

As recently as last week, the Cavaliers put an offer on the table to the Jazz concerning Mitchell. The Jazz liked that offer but wanted to continue negotiating with the Knicks, with whom they were still in talks. Those talks reached the serious stage over the weekend, according to league sources, and actually came close to completion. The two sides were close enough, according to sources, that the Jazz had come to a package that they could live with. That package would have brought Barrett to Utah, but the deal didn’t get finished. -via The Athletic / September 2, 2022

On Monday, the Knicks came to terms with Barrett on a rookie extension that could bring him as much as $120 million over the next four years. The Jazz, sources say, still wanted to pursue Barrett, even after the extension. But on Tuesday morning, the Cavaliers, upon finding out the Jazz and Knicks had broken off talks, contacted the Jazz. The two sides worked for the next two days and swiftly came to a deal. The Jazz, according to sources, did not go back to the Knicks to give them an opportunity to beat Cleveland’s offer. -via The Athletic / September 2, 2022
