While Kevin Durant has been grabbing the headlines, all has been quiet on the Donovan Mitchell trade front. That has started to change, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.
After several weeks of no conversations, the New York Knicks and Utah Jazz recently re-engaged in trade talks centered on Donovan Mitchell, league sources tell The Athletic.
The Knicks and Jazz had a fresh trade conversation within the past week about potential packages for Mitchell, according to sources.
There is no traction between the two teams on a deal, and no Mitchell trade is imminent for the Jazz, sources said. While Charlotte and Washington still loom in the talks — and Miami would love to get back in the conversation — New York has always been the clear frontrunner for a Mitchell trade because it has the first-round picks Utah seeks.
