Knicks choose RJ Barrett over Mitchell

Knicks choose RJ Barrett over Mitchell

RJ, 5 picks, and some of their most promising young players

It’s an interesting trade, and honestly it’s a good trade for Cleveland, if there is any time to go for it it’s now for the cavs, same thing with atl, I like when front offices actually try to make something happen

 

[Lakerman0834]

not trading for donovan when the price went up is the smartest thing they've done in a minute

cleveland got their core more or less - those picks mean way less to them

ya knicks won.

1. How the hell did the Knicks fumble that bag?
2. How did Utah get less for Donovan Mitchell then they did for Rudy gobert.
3. This makes what Minnesota did look even dumber
4. The East central division is going to be a bloodbath

There’s nothing promising about Obi Toppin. Ain’t he like 24 already

In a vacuum, Mitchell isn't necessarily the guy you do this for (I think even Rose has guys like Devin Booker who he'd rather give everything up for). The issue now is that they're running out of targets.

Murray - Dealt
French - dealt
mitchell - dealt
Haliburton- dealt
Sabonis- dealt
LeBron- reupped
Lillard- re-upped
Zion- reupped
Beal- re-upped
Lavine- re-upped
Gato - re-upped
Booker- re-upped
Luka/Trae/Jokic /Ja - never had a chance


They didn't trade for 3 protected firsts just for more bites at the apple. They have a lot of assets for players that aren't available. My NY heads will understand: the Knicks are that dude who misses the train and the next one doesn't come for another 30 minutes.

We are in sync

They still have the assets, they can do better than Mitchell…. Whether they do or not, who knows

Donovan Mitchell is Not that good

He’s really not lol I don’t know why ppl so hype

 

[Voice of Reason]

RJ, 5 picks, and some of their most promising young players

Mitchell is better than all of them combined.


Dude is a real dog I think he might be slightly underrated.

 

[Armchair Militant]

Knicks lawst whether they traded for him or not

i don't think he's all that either but giving up the whole farm for a guy that won't even elevate what all they have?

at least with cleveland they know all they need is consistent scoring. donovan would be plug and play with mobley and allen - and both of those guys believe in easy buckets so it's probably gonna be more fluid than the gobert set up too

 

[Primetime]

It's a good look for the Cavs. In a way, they remind me of a better equipped version of... Donovan's Utah team, ironically enough.

Offensively, Garland and Mitchell may be what Conley and Mitchell were supposed to be, if not for that fork sticking out Conley's back. arret Allen may not be as good as Gobert defensively, but Allen + Mobley together... well, that's a great defensive line.

 

[MJ Truth]

it was a sign and trade. 4 years $72M

Utah got a steal.

You know the NBA wanna flex the Knicks outta that Christmas game
