The RJ Barrett Trade Story Is Over
LOS ANGELES, CA - AUGUST 10: A behind the scenes photo of a RJ Barrett #9 of the New York Knicks workout on August 10, 2022 at Shalhevet High School in Los Angeles, California.The RJ Barrett story where he might have gotten traded to Utah for Donovan Mitchell and a couple of banks that Danny Ainge held up for the Jazz is well and truly over: Utah consummated a trade with the Cleveland Cadavaliers Thursday, sending them Mitchell for five first rounders and Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen and Ochai Agbaji.
It’s not our job to do deals like this and a lot goes into it that we can’t know, but that seems like a crazy price for one player.
