The Utah Jazz have strong interest in trading for RJ Barrett as part of a potential Donovan Mitchell package with the New York Knicks, sources tell Ian Begley of SNY.

It was previously believed that the Jazz had no interest in trading for Barrett, who is eligible for an extension and can become a restricted free agent in 2023.

Some decision-makers with the Knicks are open to including Barrett in a trade for Mitchell. The decision will be ultimately made by Leon Rose.

The Knicks drafted Barrett with the third overall pick in the 2019 draft.
