New York had the assets package that Utah preferred and the sides seemed to be inching closer to a trade on Sunday night and into Monday, but New York balked on including Quentin Grimes into a trade with RJ Barrett to acquire Donovan Mitchell, sources said. When guard Immanuel Quickley was proposed as a replacement for Grimes in the trade, Utah wanted three unprotected first-round draft picks as part of the package — but New York would only do a third first-round pick that included Top 5 protections, sources said.

Donovan Mitchell is better than an uninjured Collin Sexton. I guess you just have to decide if he’s Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Ogbaji, three unprotected first-rounders, two pick swaps and $63 million more in salary better than an uninjured Collin Sexton. – 5:33 PM

After trading Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, the Utah Jazz have gotten seven first-round picks, three pick swaps, and nine players coming back their way. And there could be more to come soon, as the franchise continues its massive overhaul. sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 5:32 PM

If you’re a Bulls fan, Donovan Mitchell joining the Cavaliers’ core seems more daunting than the three-time All-Star guard joining the Knicks.
The already loaded Eastern Conference just got tougher.

More on this storyline
Those packages would’ve included two second-round picks, two pick swaps and two expiring contracts from a third team, sources said. New York would’ve moved out Evan Fournier and first-round pick to a third team to spare Utah taking on Fournier’s remaining $37 million, sources said. -via ESPN / September 1, 2022
Tony Jones: My first reaction to this trade is this: the Jazz maintained they had other offers they liked all along and the Knicks kept negotiating with the Jazz as if they had no other options. Utah finally took the Knicks up on that -via Twitter @Tjonesonthenba / September 1, 2022
Adrian Wojnarowski: Cleveland GM Koby Altman circled back to Utah GM Justin Zanik on Tuesday and the two teams re-assembled a deal they had been discussing in previous weeks, sources tell ESPN. New York declined to do a trade a deal on Monday night, opening the door for Cleveland to secure a deal. -via Twitter @wojespn / September 1, 2022
Based on what I’d heard from people briefed on the talks, I’d expect Utah to covet Quentin Grimes in any current/future talks. Utah had sought one of Grimes, Obi Toppin and Immanuel Quickley in several packages, including some that included Barrett. So I’d assume that the Jazz would want at least two of those players in any deal moving forward. The sticking point will probably be Grimes and the value of the first-round picks New York is willing to include. In prior talks, the Jazz wanted New York to increase its offer of two unprotected picks in various packages discussed. -via SportsNet New York / August 31, 2022
Clutch Points: “Knicks will continue to pursue Donovan Mitchell. RJ Barrett could be a potential offer depending on the deal. Knicks still have assets they could use [first-round picks and young stars w/c include Grimes, Toppin & Quickley].” – @Shams Charania pic.twitter.com/6F50Cq65jz -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / August 30, 2022
