Knicks, Jazz Reached Breaking Point On Protections Over Third First Round Pick - RealGM Wiretap
When the New York Knicks and Utah Jazz reached an impasse in their trade negotiations on a Donovan Mitchell deal, the Cleveland Cavaliers reached back out after breaking off talks last Friday.
The Jazz preferred New York's collection of assets and appeared to be moving closer to a trade on Sunday night and into Monday. But the Knicks balked at including Quentin Grimes into a trade that also included RJ Barrett to acquire Mitchell. The Knicks proposed including Immanuel Quickly as a replacement for Grimes, but Utah wanted three unprotected first round picks, but New York would only do a third first round pick that included Top 5 protections.
Those packages would have included two second-round picks, two pick swaps and two expiring contracts from a third team. The Knicks would have moved out Evan Fournier and a first round pick to a third team. The Knicks planned to continue their pursuit of Mitchell, but the Jazz pivoted to discussions with Cleveland and never again engaged the Knicks.
