Donovan Mitchell traded to Cavs megathread

[AirBonner]

He is overrated, but he’s a nice upgrade over Garland.


Only problem is they still have Garland.

Garland would be LeBron’s 2nd option on the lakers. Crazy

[ShawkFactory]

Kind of strange since Garland is like 90% of Mitchell.

Can't hurt I guess.

[FultzNationRISE]

Yup.

Bron would have the league thinking Garland’s a superstar, a la Kyrie.

[GOBB]

Garland is better than Sexton. Why didn’t Utah get him instead?

Jazz fans have nothing to cheer for. Shame. Lol

They will be in the finals before the sixers

Damn you’re hate is so bad it’s eating your brain. Yikes.

[Xiao Yao You]

I'm glad the Knicks did not give in. That's an insane amount of picks for a borderline Top 10 player.

top 10?

[Xiao Yao You]

If healthy Colin can produce almost like a Donovan so getting all that on top of him is pretty nice. I guess the “If healthy” is the issue.

but Mitchell is top 10!

[AirBonner]

Damn you’re hate is so bad it’s eating your brain. Yikes.

Was your team in the finals last year? You trashing on another organization is hilarious. I mean I’d try to distract myself too if “the process” was reduced to a washed up Harden

[Druckenmiller]

Cleveland should have kept Sexton then they could have gone from a three big line-up that didn’t okay defense to a three little guard line up that didn’t play defense

Which reminds me, did Mitchell ever get a game of double digit rebounds or assists?

There’s been guys who can’t play a lick get 10+ rebound and 10+ assists in the same game. How do you go that many games without either?

[Xiao Yao You]

He shot 37/38/40 from 3 the last 3 healthy years so I wouldn’t say his shooting is too great an issue. He’s not Mitchell. It he’s as good as you’re gonna get with a package of picks like that thrown in.

Utah has 15 first rounders the next 7 years.

It’s either a 10 year plan or a 3 year one ending in swapping like 6 for another star. The Celtics never did it but they became contenders without it so I wouldn’t be too worried as a Jazz fan.

he's certainly comparable to Mitchell. If Sexton was playing next to Gobert he might be the all star not Mitchell. Mitchell is what the 4th best player on the Cavs now?

[dirkdiggler41]

How can people think the Cavs lost the trade? All picks are going to be late first picks as long as the Cavs don't get injured. Mitchell is 25, Jarret Allen is 24, Garland is 21 and Mobley is 21. They will just become better. The Jazz got a tiny shooting guard who does not play defense, a soft shooter who does not play defense, and a 22-year catch-and-shoot rookie with defense potential.

Garland wasn't on the table. The Jazz wanted the unprotected picks. The rest is gravy

he's been close to a triple double but that's not what you're getting from him. You're getting an inefficient gunner who doesn't play D and doesn't pass much. Have fun Cavs fans!

Yeah you’re banking on picks hitting. Good luck with that. The odds of hitting on better talent than Rudy and Mitchell will be tough.
