“I’ve seen some report, forgive me I can’t remember who, said ‘Well, the Jazz were upset Donovan Mitchell maybe wasn’t all-in forever with Utah and as punishment we’re going to send him to a place he doesn’t want to go do,’” Windhorst said on Wednesday’s episode of The Lowe Post podcast. “Emotions can play into this. I’ve been assured by the Utah side that, ’No, look, we’re mature people. Yes, we were upset by particularly the Mavs’ game incident, but we’re not going to make decisions based on those kind of things that now happened four months ago or whatever. We’ve made the best deal possible.’”

Cleveland’s trade for Donovan Mitchell is as significant as it gets transactionally in the NBA … but there was another blockbuster late last week we must discuss. A sneaker blockbuster!

One big part of the post-Donovan Mitchell consolation strategy for #Knicks fans is to wager on Lithuania, which advanced to the final 16 of #Eurobasket today. Eurostash PG Rokas Jokubaitas was a plus 31 in 29 minutes vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina: casino.org/news/post-dono… – 2:12 PM

Wondering why the Jazz haven’t announced the Donovan Mitchell trade? Well, the physicals haven’t been completed by the Jazz yet. Sexton is set to arrive in UT this week, Markkanen is overseas so its a little tricky. Once physicals are done, the press release will come out – 5:35 PM

Four years ago, LeBron bolted for LA and sent #Cavs into another rebuild. There were missteps. Losing took its toll. But with adept drafting and shrewd chess-move trades like Kyrie Irving, Jarrett Allen & Donovan Mitchell, the rebuild is over

The debate of the merits of the Utah Jazz trading Donovan Mitchell to the Cavs instead of the Knicks rages on. What’s undeniable, Trib columnist @RobertGehrke points out, is that by doing the deal at all, the state of Utah lost a much-needed moral compass. sltrib.com/opinion/2022/0… – 11:08 AM

More on this storyline
Chris Fedor on the Donovan Mitchell trade: Of the executives around the NBA, I would say that the guy that Koby (Altman) is closest to on a personal and professional level is Justin Zanik. And I think that relationship really, really laid the foundation for the two sides agreeing to something and ultimately, the Cavs having the, quote unquote, winning bid here. -via Spotify / September 8, 2022
The Knicks and Jazz negotiated a Mitchell trade for weeks, which came after members of the New York front office sat prominently in the arena during a first round playoff game between Utah and the Dallas Mavericks. “I’ve seen some reports, forgive me I can’t remember who, said ‘Well, the Jazz were upset Donovan Mitchell maybe wasn’t all-in forever with Utah and as punishment we’ll send him to a place he doesn’t want to go do,'” said Zach Lowe on his podcast. -via RealGM / September 8, 2022
“Emotions can play into this. I’ve been assured by the Utah side that ‘No, look, we’re mature people. Yes, we were upset with particularly the Mavs’ game incident, but we’re not going to make decisions based on those kind of things that now happened four months ago or whatever.
