The hold up in Jordan Clarkson talks between the Utah Jazz and New York Knicks is draft compensation. Knicks have balked at Danny Ainge requiring Grimes and an unprotected 1st round pick for taking on Fournier.

Let me guess. They have all the leverage again, right?
Or we could just not trade him? This team is having too much fun!
Glad we got Ainge on our side, those are some salty fans.
My favorite comment in their sub: ‘There are so many alternatives to Clarkson, Ainge doesn’t have the leverage he did during the Mitchell negotiations’.
Lmao, these are the same fans that told us for a year and a half that the Knicks had all the leverage in the Donovan trade…
To be fair I don’t think Clarkson is worth an unprotected first. A top 7 protected first seems reasonable, but not an unprotected first
Good. If the Knicks don’t want to take that offer, they can get other guards. Clarkson is a 20 ppg player who has playoff experience and will be making 13 million for the next 2 seasons, if the Knicks don’t like what Ainge, and Jay-Z are offering, they can get another guards, since the Knicks think they have leverage
Yeah I don’t trust this account so I’m not buying it.
Oh look at that, UtahJazzNotes has made their yearly appearance of claiming they have a source and being wrong.
Please don’t trade Clarkson.. Hes a great 6man for us and he’s on a good contract… Keep him!!
Just give us the Dallas first and we can call it a day! Clarkson for Grimes, Fournier and a late first sounds great to me!
Gotta love it. We’re going to end up getting another good Lakers pick for Clarkson instead.
This is a big win for the Knicks, knowing JC resume of achivements those 2 guys theyre offering is no where close to his resume , its only their pick will be useful for the Jazz. I feel those 2 will just be a filler for another trade maybe they will a try for Grime but hes playing bad this season. I’m ready to unload JC specially if hes going to a contender team, if it just for the sake of making a trade then I don’t buy it
I need to buy a Clarkson jersey before he’s traded
Ainge has got the Chinese businessman mindset in every trade bahahaha. Never gonna give up anything without a premium markup.
How about no
Is this why Clarkson’s body language has been kind of down the last two games? He has seemed kind of somber the last little bit, wonder if he knows he is on the block.
