Sometimes, an event feels fated. Every part of you feels like it’s going to happen. It’s a matter of when not if. The NBA can be the same way.
Perhaps the writing has been on the wall for too long, or there’s been too much smoke for there not to be fire. Use whichever cliche you like – there’s an air of inevitability around the event.
Such is the case with a Donovan Mitchell to the New York Knicks deal. It feels like it has to happen. The Jazz want a pile of draft picks – the Knicks have a pile of draft picks. Mitchell is from New York. The stars feel aligned here.
Perhaps most significantly, the Knicks haven’t had a star like Mitchell in ages. They’re desperate to add marque talent after years of mediocrity.
