Do Not Sell My Personal Information
They need to trade Mitchell while they can still get good assets for him
 
Agree, with the caveat that you'd better have a player and play maker better than Klay. On this team, sure, I would take essentially the best 3 and D player of all time because of Garland's presence. But if I need someone to lead a team, I'm taking Mitchell. That team will never win a championship, but neither will a team lead by Klay Thompson and Mitchell is still much better in that role.

Yea that's always kinda been the difficulty in debating players in the NBA.

If you have a bad team and you want them to be a playoff team, Mitchell is the better player.

If you have a good team and you want them to be a contender, then Thompson.

It's hard to rate which guy is ultimately the better player overall in those scenarios. We see that a lot though.
 
Garbage time 3s piss me off. But getting up 25 late in the 4th was nice.
 
As if CPJ couldn't be more dreamy, he classily takes the TO at end of game

What he did tonight was pretty much exactly what Rubio did...amazing
 
Satisfying win. Cavs had a gameplan to go at Jokic's defense. Allen was very physical and never backed down. Great ball movement throughout the game. Mobley hitting 2 jumpers at the start opened up the lanes for garland and porter. Strus very smart player.
 
JA gets the junk yard tonight, right? When was the last time Jokic had 5 fouls?
 
The team without MItchell has looked much crisper the last 2 nights. I guess Struss replace Markannhan so with our picks that we lost being late I dont think we would be feel too bad if we just saw what we could get for Mitchell

Damn bro, you're ready to say that already?

But to play that game, if they do decide to do it, they better keep talks quiet and get it done quickly after a lot of careful internal conversations. In today's NBA, you don't want to build bad blood with a superstar when they learn you are shopping him and have things devolve from there into a situation where you can't get full value for one reason or another.

I'm not there yet, though.
