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

[Organic Trees]

Oh really? Where's the footage of Mobley effectively guarding Tatum, KD, DeRozan, etc? Mobley is trending towards being a great interior defender, not perimeter defender.

Mobley was used everywhere on the floor including the perimeter defensively last season.

He contests everything. When games got real tight and lauri couldn’t handle the assignment. Mobley took it. He guarded all those guys you mentioned except for KD? I don’t remember.

Like I said, he's a very good big man perimeter defender especially on switches and help defense. But Cavs still lack wings who can consistently on-ball defend opposing wings extending to the 3 pt line. Mobley is not defending opposing wings for an entire game.

With this designated extension rule and cavs now having Mitchell and Garland, Mobley can’t extend unless one of the other two gets traded or leaves in 3 years

They can give him a 4 year max extension just not the 5th year

 

[In The Zone '98]

They can't give him the five year extension Summer 2024. But they can give it to him summer 2025 when he is a restricted free agent.

It's a non issue really.

Mitchell will be the leading scorer on the Cavs.

Markannen and Sexton are better than RJ.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

That nikka really acts like Donovan Mitchell is on some Dwyane Wade shyt

Dawg is a 6’1 SG

Never said anything about Mobley defending the perimeter the entire game. We know the 3 spot needs to be fixed. Just showing you that Mobley isn’t just a help or interior defender.

What’s the problem? I watch RJ nightly yes Markannen is better.

 

[The God Poster]

No surprise the expected posters are mad at this trade

 

[Remy LeBreh]

What’s the problem? I watch RJ nightly yes Markannen is better.

RJ is highly overrated for some reason and Lauri is underrated because people hate his playstyle. They are probably a wash in overall impact

He's not.

I don't overrate RJ. But what has Markannen done or shown to say he's better?

U gonna give me some basketball analysis or what?

Markannen is better every single year of his career he has provided more impact for his teams. He’s a more portable player and has valuable skills he’s good at particularly stretching the floor.
