Donovan Mitchell traded to Cavs megathread

[Xiao Yao You]

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.

Sexton is comparable to Mitchell as I said months ago to the chagrin of the trolls, he's just not on a max contract

[Xiao Yao You]

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.

Ainge hits as much or more than anyone. Certainly more than anybody the Jazz have ever had in the front office. But yeah guys like Gobert don't grow on trees. Not likely they get anyone as good out of the Minnesota picks. But it's hard not to see them winning big on this trade. I wouldn't be surprised if they got multiple players as good or better than Mitchell. He's highly overrated

[AirBonner]

Jazz might get two or three Gobert’s out of this trade

[Kblaze8855]

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?

You’re about as likely to be fair on the subject of Mitchell as 3ball on Pippen.

That’s a lot for Mitchell. I don’t think Mitchell is all that great. Overrated.

And yet they had to throw in 3 first rounders, 2 pick swaps, and two players. Seems someone is rather high on him.

mitchell is way better than sexton. I like the move for cleveland. 3 unprotected picks is a lot but not at lvl of what gobert fetched.

3rd best player in Jazz history. Not likely

glad they are. Hard to see this not being considered a huge heist when all is said and done

Sexton is more efficient and has put up 24 a game. 2 years younger and making 18 million a year instead of the max!

[Xiao Yao You]

Adrian Wojnarowski: Utah still has coveted veteran trade asserts, including Bojan Bogdanovic, Jordan Clarkson and Mike Conley Jr. They’ll approach an Oklahoma City-esque haul of draft assets once they’re done dealing. Jazz consider Markkanen, Sexton and Agbaji keepers for their rebuilding roster.

And people said the Wolves paid too much

[Xiao Yao You]

And people said the Wolves paid too much

the Jazz likely lose the Gobert trade. Hard to imagine them not winning big with this one though.

Clarkson about to have his MVP season. Gonna avg 36 ppg this season
