No s*** Sherlock

…. dude’s going full on Magic Obvious Johnson today (re Lakers)

 

They got good looks but when McDaniels missed 4 wide open 3s it's forgotten. KCP hit his and the Wolves missed theirs.

The problem the Nuggets pose is their finishing lineups just is more likely to finish those shots than opposing teams.

Lakers were so damn close they made Murray and Jokic look like very good mortals and not otherworldly (Gobert again convincing the NBA he's the DPOY is bonkers). Lebron and Reaves were getting stronger but the Lakers didn't have KCP type to stepup to match MPJ

 

I could see Miami that’s a good fit for him position wise and a winning organization.BKN would have the best assets but why? They aren’t winning anytime soon.

 

Pretty sure AR would be in the deal for Mitchell.

 

Definitely.. Reaves/Rui/Gabe and picks.

 

i think my subconscious was trying to keep reaves.

 

I'd love to keep him as well but if we're making a BIG move, he's obviously out. He's the only trade piece that teams value outside of our picks.

 

the nets are retiring VC's number before the raptors

 

Unless Mitchell and his agent actively try to dissuade everyone else from trading for him by saying he'll only re-sign with us, he's not coming here. And I can't see him doing that because he obviously loves the idea of playing in NYC and probably Miami as well.

 

Logically LA and Miami make the most sense but if he is hell bent on playing in NY then that’s what he’ll do

 

Agreed, the only one who, if we traded AR to get him, I would accept it without moaning in agony.

 

We don’t wanna draft you ! Your daddy wants US to draft you ! Chicken or eggs bro

 

He’s not ready. He hasn’t even proved himself at the college level yet. But that doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

 

i don't know. guys who have done less have been drafted, imo. i mentioned deanthony melton in another thread. similar size, similarly meh-to-bad stats, similar strengths and weaknesses. drafted 46th and is a solid nba rotation player just what, three years later?

and you can't not factor the pedigree, imo.

if he's there at 55, we should just draft him. i wouldn't be surprised if someone gambled in the 40s. i'd be shocked if someone used a 1st on him, though.

 

Mitchell is the guy you go "all in" for if you go that route. As I've said, you better nail the margins on a high level and have some luck in the process.

Our offer always has been ready - Rob, "whomever you want on the roster and whatever draft capital we could accommodate you..." ROFL.

If that doesn't work, you'll still have some flexibility to improve the team.
