Christmas in the garden
Sounds like it, there is speculation that NBA is holding out on announcing opening night and the rest of the schedule because of the durant and Mitchell trade talks
The Mitchell trade to the Knicks, if it happens, will not happen at least until the start of training camp, or later if Ainge decides he just wants draft picks unless Mitchell goes public with a desire to leave Utah. There’s no reason for Ainge to make a move unless he has to. If he wants to bring back players, then it would make sense for Utah to have those players for a full camp. The Knicks have no other big time chances for s trade so they can’t put pressure on Ainge to make a deal or else they go elsewhere. Rose is doing the right thing now for his and Ainge is for his team. As the season gets closer, then pressure for a move begins.

If knicks can find a way to squeeze in Rudy gay maybe take him back
If Knicks need to throw in grimes to nets then so be it. Jazz accomplish goal with 6 first rounders and mcbride and pick swaps.
Lakers get Kyrie, reddish and Fournier to make their roster a championship contender for next 2-3 years. Get a younger piece they like in reddish.
Nets get RJ as a young center piece, Randle to help them compete now. They are both terrible fits with Ben Simmons but they can figure that out later. They get Beverly expiring that probably gets them some capital down the road. Four first rounders from the Knicks in case they want to starts over completely.

Can be convinced. That squad Knicks besides golden state gives him a better chance to win then Phoenix. Phoenix will have to give up all their young talent besides Booker to get it done.
That Knicks team is top 3 in league and gives them 4 year window to compete for championships.
That'd be a fun game. The 76ers have had a nice offseason.

Brunson, Dmitch, Rj vs Maxey, Harden and Embiid could be a fun game..
76ers @ Knicks.
Suns @ Nuggets.
Lakers @ Mavs.
Grizz @ Warriors.
Can't wait. & trust me, we'll blink & it'll be Christmas day.
