Spoke to a Western Conference scout today here in Vegas about Donovan Mitchell. He said he has heard Heat have made interest clear. The long-time scout said he would move Herro in such a deal. (Robinson, picks likely also would have to go out.) – 6:07 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops

Let’s be clear about this: the Jazz are currently not close to a Donovan Mitchell trade. And much like Gobert, they have no issues whatsoever in keeping him. Either a team is going to meet the bar to make this a convo, or he will be with the Jazz. They are not giving him away – 5:58 PM StatMuse @statmuse

Utah’s moves always implied Donovan Mitchell would be available sooner or later. Hard to retool a top-4 West team on the fly once you trade one big piece. – 5:55 PM Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn

Expect the New York Knicks to quickly try and put together a package for Donovan Mitchell, according to league sources. Utah’s bar for Trading Mitchell is sky high. But the Knicks are the team that has the assets to make this a conversation – 5:51 PM Sean Highkin @highkin
CAA has been soft-launching the Donovan Mitchell trade request since at least the All-Star break. – 5:50 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
If I’m the Knicks I’m not offering RJ Barrett in a Donovan Mitchell deal.
Up to eight firsts. Some combination of IQ/Obi/Grimes/McBride. All of that is fine. But I’m daring someone to outbid me before I give up Barrett. His ascent next to Mitchell would be their upside. – 5:48 PM Jorge Sierra @hoopshype
