New York Knicks make this trade to balance out the roster. Andre Drummond played PF/C and we couldn't start him, Mitchell Robinson, Christian Wood, and Jarrett Allen on the same days. Also, having Drummond and Jarrett Allen on the same team compounded the issue. With Caris LeVert being out for some time and Malik Beasley as my only point guard getting Donovan Mitchell to play point guard and shooting guard really helps balance out an out of whack roster. I finally get a point guard to back up Malik Beasley, lol. We hate to lose the 2nd round picks and Mason Jones, and especially Time Lord Robert Williams, but it is worth it to balance out the roster and get the very slight upgrade in Donovan Mitchell. Only reservation is bailing out a competitive team in the Utah Jazz of some major salary cap issues and creating the two headed monster of Andre Drummond and Rudy Gobert. That should be an interesting combination going forward. I probably set him up for years to come as he couldn't extend both Gobert and Donovan Mitchell without this deal anyway, but at least my roster is balanced. Thanks, Vik, for the long talks over a few weeks. I am glad we could reach an arrangement that certainly benefits both teams.

A bit late here just been a busy day, but I accept.
I went back and forth on this for a while, not an easy deal but ultimately decided I'll give this shot, with Drummond still bringing elite production with his unique syle of game. Was good back and forth chat to get this done.
Pairing Drummond with Gobert is an interesting build for me to test out. It's tough to move Mitchell but this package along with salary saving and my cap situation I'm willing to see this out. Plus while he may not be a big piece now, I like Rob Williams as a high potential player. If he can consistently get minutes he can put up solid numbers.
I would have had to make some tough decisions one way or another to keep my core. I'll now probably look to make a few more moves to adjust roster bit more, either before deadline or in offseason.

These are well thought out explanations on what I consider the best trade in the short history of this league. Thank you both for such insight.
Rarely can 2 contenders agree to such a deal.
Kudos! Well done boys.
