The New York Knicks wouldn’t be “enthusiastic” in pursuing a commerce for Donovan Mitchell if he turned out there this offseason in comparison with their degree of curiosity in 2022, sources inform Fred Katz of The Athletic.
The Knicks had critical talks with the Utah Jazz on a Mitchell commerce through the 2022 offseason, however they in the end traded him to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks have been unwilling to fulfill Utah’s asking worth. The choice from Utah to pivot to Cleveland might have benefited all three groups because the Knicks noticed Jalen Brunson emerge as an All-NBA participant, whereas the Jazz acquired a franchise anchor in Lauri Markkanen.
There’s a rising expectation that Mitchell and the Cavaliers will conform to a four-year, $208.5 million extension this offseason.
