Quick thoughts on RJ Barrett, NYK & UTA:
-Good deal for Barrett and NYK. I think he’s going to be an All-Star eventually.
-Doesn’t end the Mitchell talks. As many have said, a little harder. But deal was always going to include a big salary (Fournier or Rose) heading out. – 8:33 AM

Jazz had coveted RJ Barrett in Donovan Mitchell trade talks w/Knicks. Barrett’s extension takes him off the table in those talks for obvious reasons, including ‘poison pill’ provision that makes it very difficult to trade player on rookie extension before extension takes effect. – 11:47 PM

Here’s how the poison pill in RJ Barrett’s new contract works in trades.
To the Knicks as outgoing salary, he counts for his 2022-23 salary: $10.9 million.
To the Jazz, as incoming salary, he counts as the average of all five seasons he’s signed for: roughly $26.2 million. – 11:35 PM

RJ Barrett gets $120 million.
Jalen Brunson gets $100 million.
I think if you polled NBA Twitter, most would say Brunson is a better player. He even had the open market boosting him. This is just more proof that this is a wing’s league. I think Barrett will look underpaid soon. – 11:27 PM

More on this storyline
NBA Central: The Utah Jazz rejected a Knicks trade offer of RJ Barrett and 2 unprotected first-round picks for Donovan Mitchell, per @Shams Charania “That was not deemed close enough by the Utah Jazz” pic.twitter.com/DblZd6H3ra -via Twitter @TheNBACentral / August 30, 2022
According to a source, the Knicks are “hopeful” they can pull off a Mitchell deal without Barrett. The source says the Knicks would not have come to this Barrett decision if they felt it would kill the trade. -via New York Post / August 30, 2022
“Utah never wanted to be the team to pay (Barrett) — let New York overpay for a decent but not top-of-the-line player,” one coaching source said. “But Mitchell can wind up in NY as soon as they come to an agreement on how many No. 1 draft picks are included.” Toppin, shooting guard Quentin Grimes and Evan Fournier’s contract are the likeliest trio in a deal along with the picks. -via New York Post / August 30, 2022
