With the sudden availability of Utah’s Donovan Mitchell, New York is quite interested. But there could be a heavy price for the Knicks: RJ Barrett.
Barrett, as you will remember, is not just a Knicks player. He’s a hardcore fan and in many ways, he’s become the heart of the team.
He’s also a major fan favorite.
But everyone and everything has a cost. So is New York willing to go there? Depends on who you ask.
Some places started reporting Thursday that New York would not include Barrett in any trade.
Others suggest that Utah would prefer Miami’s Tyler Herro to Barrett, largely because he’s more offensively oriented and would be a better natural replacement for Mitchell.
