'Knicks Josh Hart: A candid take on relentless Donovan Mitchell trade rumors'

Speculation is growing that the New York Knicks could land Donovan Mitchell in a trade or free agency, as the player has connections to New York. Knicks player Josh Hart addressed the rumors, emphasizing that fans often create their own narratives. The outcome of tonight's game could provide more insight into Mitchell's potential future with the team.

In an upcoming matchup between the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers, there is a great deal of speculation surrounding the possibility of Donovan Mitchell joining the Knicks either through a trade or in free agency. Josh Hart, a current player for the Knicks, shed some light on these rumors.

Hart acknowledged that these rumors are unlikely to fade away, considering Mitchell's ties to New York. He stated, "He's from New York. New York is never going to let that go away. So you'll never know what happens. That's for the future, that's for Knicks Twitter to talk about, and have rumors about, and put up stats of God knows what. But everyone knows that will be an underlying thing."

There were strong rumors in the summer of 2022 that the Knicks were looking to trade for Mitchell from the Utah Jazz. However, they ultimately decided against it, leading to Mitchell joining the Cavaliers. Now, with Mitchell's contract set to expire after this season, the pressure is on the Cavaliers to create an environment that will entice him to stay.

Hart also pointed out that fans tend to create narratives that may not hold much significance. He mentioned Mitchell throwing out the first pitch for the Mets and how people interpreted it as a sign of his desire to join the Knicks. Hart clarified, "Don't know that his dad works for the Mets for 20 years or he's from New York. You always have so many underlying things where people have no idea, they see just one photo and see something and just run with it."

The outcome of tonight's game will undoubtedly be intriguing, and it remains to be seen if Mitchell will eventually become a part of the Knicks' roster.
