The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired Donovan Mitchell in a trade, sources tell ESPN.

[I AM WARHOL]

why is this trade considered an all in move? I see it as the cavs took an opportunity to add a 25 year old star to an great young core. Garland & Mobley both are 21 and the sky is the limit for both. Allen is a 24 year old all star center. You’re way over valuing Sexton, Ochai & Markenen. The 3 1sts is the only thing debatable but if Mobley, Allen & garland continue to grow alongside Mitchell. Those picks won’t be shyt. We have our core set in stone as all of our best guys are not only young but are all stars with Mobley having the potential to be the franchise.

I think it’s all in cause it significantly hampers there flexibility for the future. Anytime you give up control of essentially 6 first round picks (3 unprotected, 2 swaps, Ochai is a current year lottery pick), you’re going all in imo.

You’re adding a top 5 usage, 21 shots a game player to a young team with a budding PG and a potential star PF. What happens if he fukks up their development? I think this move is 2 years premature. Give Mobley time to settle into the type of player he can become. Give garland another year to build off of his all star year. And give Sexton, a player you have in house (who put up 24-3-4 on 48/37/82 splits at 22 years old) a legit shot at playing with this improved core before you give up.

This team with Mitchell is still to green to fukk with the big boys and now they have no draft capital flexibility going forward. I don’t hate the trade for Cleveland overall cause on paper Garland/Mitchell/Mobley/Allen is exciting, but I don’t think it was the savviest move for the Cavs

Didn’t know unassisted scoring was a requirement of what makes a star

Most stars in todays game get there own baskets....is this not known ?

 

[Miggs]

There's a strong correlation, especially for a guard.

Even modern bigs like Giannis are becoming ball handlers that can get there own at anytime....thats what puts Giannis at a level over Anthony Davis...

Mobley isnt gonna be a star if he needs to be spoonfed.

The Cavs got a core now for the next 5-7 years now.

 

[LurkMoar]

Zero excuse for the Knicks to not beat that offer

 

[I AM WARHOL]

They said the 3 big lineup wouldn’t work

Now we got guys bringing up sextons 24 ppg like that was an indication of all star level play. But truth be told he was put in that situation out of necessity. Watched young bull put up 20 shots, ignore his teammates & forced 2s. And I been a fan since he was drafted in 2018. Im from here..

Sexton is a combo guard who’s greatest strength is his efficient scoring. Numbers show that he is clutch & he shows up every night. Young Bull usually plays off ball so his assist is meh He plays for the Cavs so casuals believe he’s either a sixth man or trash. Cleveland doesn’t want to pay him Allen & Love so that makes him expendable right now especially with Okoro showing he’s a SG & Garland having the most potential

Young Guard averaging 24 ppg on great efficiency and is constantly improving on other areas of his game = sixth man

This was literally you last year. Come on fam.

Utah would have to pay Mitch and Barrett ..I’m rejecting that shyt too .

They not signing anybody worthwhile in FA, they might as well

RJ Barrett shoots below average from every part of the court and Knicks fans acting like he the 2nd coming

You doing the most to not see the obvious. Ok, bud

Your main argument is that he is undervalued and is on par with Mitchell. My past post’s doesn’t change my stance.

I’ve also stated recently that I’m still a fan of young bull. If you watched this team in any capacity you or that raptor fan would bow out this shyt and keep it moving.

Where they find these new posters nowadays??

These nikkas just want to argue just to argue. Fuxk them hand picked numbers and watch the games. People take numbers out of context to fit their agenda

I don’t currently think he’s on par with Mitchell. I think he has potential to be. Not at this instant. I made that thread about Colin over a year ago, so this isn’t just a reactionary post. Go look at that thread yourself if you don’t believe me

You were saying the same stuff about Sexton last year . So who’s agenda changed? I’ve got nothing against Cleveland.
