?Knicks Please Do This So Everyone Can Laugh at You?, ?They Think [He?s] Prime MJ?: Fans Go Berserk as $163 Million All-Star Has a Bizarre Price Tag for New York as Per Sources

The city of New York was once one of the biggest hubs for basketball. The mecca of basketball was filled with crowds going crazy for the New York Knicks. However, in recent times the script has flipped for the franchise. They have arguably become the laughing stock of the NBA. But that doesn’t mean climbing back is far. Over the last few seasons, the Knicks have acquired some serious talent. Now to lift the city of New York back to the top of the basketball world, they are relentlessly pursuing an All-Star from the Utah Jazz.

With a core of Julius Randle and RJ Barrett, the New York Knicks have a platform to build on. Randle made his berth to becoming an All-Star by putting up close to 24 points per game two seasons back. On the other hand, Barrett’s sophomore season made him a huge part of the Knicks’ offensive system. But it seems this pairing isn’t satisfying the franchise’s agenda.

Since Donovan Mitchell’s state with the Utah Jazz, the New York team hasn’t left any room to breathe. They are hunting to bring the 3-time All-Star to the Empire State. However, the asking price for Spida is high.

Are the New York Knicks willing to gamble it all?

Donovan Mitchell is undoubtedly one of the brightest stars in the NBA. At just 25, the Jazz superstar had made three consecutive trips to the All-Star game. Moreover, he is rising as one of the most dynamic scorers in the league. Mitchell has the ability to score on all levels. And an aerial threat is only the beginning of his true power. Averaging 25.9 points last season, he is a force on the offensive end.

With such a blockbuster talent on their roster, the Utah Jazz has failed to deliver to the mark. Likewise, as an upcoming team, the Knicks want a piece of Spida. However, Stephen. A. Smith revealed the mind-blowing cost for Utah’s offensive powerhouse. With Barrett and six first-round picks all on the line, NBA Twitter gave their thoughts on the potential trade deal:

Looking at the situation, the New York Knicks would completely change with Mitchell’s entrance. A young talent who certainly has the ability to reign over New York. However, on the other end of the bargain would be losing their young talent in RJ Barrett. A trade of the youngsters would arguably defeat the purpose for the Knicks. The biggest priority would be to construct around Mitchell, Randle, and Barrett. However, with the Duke star on the chopping block, that dream seems to be impossible at the moment.
