OT Donavan Mitchell trade watch

People had these type of doubts about Milwaukee before they won. How Bud couldn't coach in the playoffs.

Nobody thought the Raptors had a shot at winning.

Go back some years and there was all the talk a team like the Warriors would never win a title shooting jumpers when they first did it.

Go back some more years and look at the Sheed Pistons, or Dirk Mavs. Many of those teams were long shots to win the title.

I'd say Jokic as a two time MVP might even be more accomplished than Giannis was. If his fellow starters were healthy they might have been able to contend. They were never a #1 seed though. Utah never had an MVP; but they were a very deep team.

Now I don't think those teams were ever favorites, and maybe never in the top5, but I'd agree just about any team with a #1 seed is a legit contender.

 

You seem to be overlooking the main thing we got....... "Flexibility"

 

How many points did Flexibility average last season? Lol

 

Neil olshey would be licking his lips right now

Lowe:

“Can I give you my sneaky favorite Donovan Mitchell team? This couldn’t happen until January 15th because of a free agent that just re-signed with this team.

But a team that’s trying to thread the needle between breaking up their team and re-building, re-tooling.

If I’m Portland don’t I have to think about Anfernee Simons, plus I might have to include Sharpe because I can’t trade any picks right now because one pick I owe that’s out the door.

Now I can amend that, it’s owed to Chicago but amending it is complicated and depending on how I amend it, it might not free up enough picks that I can keep Sharpe out of the deal.

The Blazers absolutely love Sharpe and they’ve loved Sharpe the entire pre-draft process.

If I’m them and I’ve got this team where I’m trying to re-tool around Dame, the key supporting guys are between the ages of 27 and 30, Donovan Mitchell fits right in there. He’s younger that 27.

Simons is really good, big upside, legit scorer, Sharpe is obviously a prized prospect. Don’t I at least have to think about that if I’m Portland.”

 

Yes.... let's get a 6'1 guard who duplicates what Ant/CJ brought to the team.

What happened to 6'6 shooting guards?

 

If e duplicated what they brought, it'd be one thing, but he's a much worse shooter than either of them. Bad idea anyways, but worse when he's a career 36% shooter, and has seemingly given up on defense since college.

 

Lol man what? Dump all our assets on another undersized shooting guard? One that doesn't even really defend? Man whaaaaat? This is just an obsession with "names" with no actual thought behind it.

Gimme Ant over Mitchell btw.

 

it was a variable average showing quite the flexibility.

 

You can't even call this dude undersized. He's just straight up small. Allen Iverson was able to play shooting guard at 6'1, but he was the exception, not the rule.

 

Mitchell has a crazy wingspan and standing reach relative to his height though

 

The play SF/PF in today's league.

FWIW, I would rather keep Ant over Mitchel. I believe Ant can become a real PG, I don't think Mitchel will ever be.

 

That was a joke. I am just too lazy to use the GF.

 

Why are people saying mitchell is bigger than cj? He's 6'1

 

What if Dame wants to play with Mitchell?

 

I don't care.

 

Danny Ainge want 6 draft picks from the Knicks After getting 4 from the Gobert trade LOL

 

If Danny Angie was the Knicks GM he’d laugh at himself and hang the phone up.

 

I bet the Knicks would do that trade for Dame.

 

If we can get 6 Knicks 1st rounders for Dame the trade should happen asap. At least half will be lottery picks.
