It was bound to happen as soon as the Knicks hired Utah Jazz assistant Johnnie Bryant, but the Donovan Mitchell rumors have already begun in earnest.
Forbes contributor Adam Zagoria reported Tuesday that the Knicks are want Mitchell badly...but with a twist!
“They want him badly but may be a possible conflict with R.J. [Barrett],” a source with knowledge of the Knicks thinking said of Mitchell. “There’s a debate in the front office if they can play together.”
Well of course they’d like Mitchell, who scored the second-most points in a playoff game in NBA history on Monday, dropping 57 in a loss to the Nuggets.
