Ainge expects to get the young developable players (Toppin, Quickly, Grimes) plus expiring filler (Rose?), accompanied by a suitable pick package (and since NY's picks are junky, it will take quite a few to add up to any value).All I’ve been saying is there is no way the sticking point on NY getting Mitchell is not NY trying to keep Grimes like the title of the article stated. It’s got to be the amount of picks. I can’t imagine NY saying they didn’t make a deal with Ainge cause they wanted Grimes and we wouldn’t let him go. I can imagine them saying they wanted every available first we have and wouldn’t budge and that being acceptable.
I don't think Ainge will cave, even if NY's hometown writers tell him he must, and in NY the question will then become if they really want Mitchell (because you know the price, and you pay it or do without).
