Brian Windhorst: The Jazz are beginning their business. They made their first post-Rudy Gobert move earlier this week when they traded Patrick Beverley to the Lakers. [Tim] MacMahon, you said I believe last week that you thought that the Jazz would make a Donovan Mitchell trade before the [regular season] opener. And it sounds to me in talking to people around the league that the Jazz want to try to go even sooner than that. They want to go before training camp.

Donovan Mitchell, if traded, would prefer to be dealt to Knicks, Heat or Nets, per The Athletic’s Tony Jones. Heat doesn’t have enough assets to appeal to Utah. And if you’re Miami, would you trade a billion picks & Herro for him? Not so fast my friend: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col…12:28 PM

Another lost season for SGA.
Not that Year 1 Chet was going to drastically move the needle but at some point he’s going to sour on this entire ordeal in OKC.
Any team interested in Donovan Mitchell should be making the same calls to Sam Presti. – 11:00 AM

From earlier: NYK’s been mostly conservative in recent years, holding on to assets to be in position to trade for a top player. The opportunity is here. W/teams like CLE interested in Donovan Mitchell, there’s a potential cost to NYK for waiting too long: sny.tv/articles/knick…6:20 PM

Worth noting:
The idea that all Knicks fans will be enraged and will try to burn down MSG if New York doesn’t trade the farm for Donovan Mitchell is not accurate.
That’s a misconception I’ve seen floating around out there… – 5:05 PM

NYK has been mostly conservative over past 2 years, holding on to assets to be in position to trade for a top player. The opportunity is here. With teams like CLE interested in Donovan Mitchell, there is a potential cost to NYK for waiting too long. More: sny.tv/articles/knick…10:00 AM

With the news that Kevin Durant will be staying with the Brooklyn Nets, the possibility exists that some of the teams which were pursuing him could now turn their attention to Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell instead. Who could make a deal work? sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20…9:49 AM

More on this storyline

Ian Begley: Cleveland Cavaliers have removed themselves from Donovan Mitchell trade talks, per SNY sources. Doesn’t seem like there are any suitors at moment who can approach what Knicks can offer Utah – even if you take RJ Barrett off the table. So this trade is still NYK’s to lose. -via Twitter @IanBegley / August 26, 2022
