The Cavaliers Have A Big Decision To Make…

The Cavaliers Have A Big Decision To Make…

They we’re recording this immediately after the Cavs just blew out the Wizards for the second straight game and you know they play the Spurs on Monday morning so they’re probably going to get you know their third straight win before they go to Paris to play the Nets and

Yet something with this team just feels off yeah there’s whispers about Donovan Mitchell and it seems like the Cavs May soon have a hell of a decision on their Hands Before we start talking about the Cavaliers if you haven’t already make sure you leave this video a like give us a subscribe and hit that notification Bell so you never miss out on one of our videos so the Cavs at time of recording our 20 and 15 that’s good for sixth best

In the Eastern Conference and look I would say the East is as a whole better this year than it was last year but the Cavs still kind of feel like one of the early disappointments for the East I felt like they had a great year last year just despite the early playoff exit

Yeah I wouldn’t read a ton of the playoff exit it still wasn’t a great look I mean I don’t think the Knicks were that great but what a regular season like the young core was looking great Mobly Garland had a great season and then Mitchell was playing incredible

I mean who could forget that 71o game yeah even with the playoff exit it leaves a sour taste in your mouth but overall it was a very successful season yeah they were clearly on an upward Trend you know playing in 22 then you make the trade for Mitchell you get a

Top four seed in 3 so you’re on that upward Trend and this year I don’t think anyone’s expecting them to win 60 games but at least expect them to keep going up as of right now technically I mean they’re only half game out of the four

Seed so they could get it again but does anyone really think they’re going to challenge Philly Milwaukee or Boston I mean I don’t no not at all I mean even go down farther the heat even the Knicks in Orlando like I might pick him over Orlando because they’re a bit more

Experienced I don’t know I wouldn’t feel confident picking them over many teams in the East right now and right now I think they’re on Pace for I think 47 wins given their current win total so a four- win decrease from last year yeah the young guys Allan Mobly and Garland

They’ve kind of just stagnated off of last year if anything they might have even taken a slight step back yeah Mo and Allen are basically giving you exactly what they gave you last year Moy I think’s giving you one extra rebound Jared Allen’s giving you one more assist

Garland’s the one where it’s like what’s wrong with this guy his scoring is down his assists are way down his three-point shooting is way down and he’s averaging almost four turnovers a game yeah I think he’s kind of one of those guys where not in terms of their talent but I

Compare it a bit to Trey young like they’re just inconsistent I think some years Garland’s going to look really good he’s going to be an Allstar and some years are kind of going to be like this where it’s just like eh like what happened and to be fair to Garland and

To moy they’ve both missed a decent amount of time with injury they both missed over a third of the season with injuries but even with they’re playing I mean they just they haven’t gotten any better and if you’re looking at the Cavs roster if you’re Donovan Mitchell you’re

Not going to get significantly better at 27 Levert’s not going to get significantly better at 29 streu is not going to get significantly better at 27 so if the Cavs want to take that next step as a roster it’s kind of on the young guys and right now they’re not

Holding up their end of the bargain it feels weird to be at this position now because go back like two years or hell even last season with that great season they had it felt like they were one of the upand cominging teams like they were kind of viewed how the Thunder are now

Or like the magic are now like they’re next up and then now as forward today it feels kind of like they’re stuck in a way oh I was so high on Cleveland last year I thought they were going to beat the out of the Knicks in the

Playoffs totally missed on that one by the way but I was like this team’s got everything like you got Garland who can distribute and he can score a little bit you got your Superstar and Mitchell you got Moy and Jared Allen who are great down low both can play defense Mo’s got

A bit of an offensive game he can play on the perimeter a bit but I was so high on this team and now like you said they just they feel like they’re stuck in mud and now worst case scenario is kind of starting to form at least a little

Bit for Cleveland because there’s been Rumblings about Donovan Mitchell possibly wanting to leave Brian wur recently said that it’s an Open Secret basically that Mitchell isn’t signing an extension with the Cavs and I’ve heard other reports and kind of just random tweets about it that he doesn’t want to

Stay there now that could be a leverage thing he’s just trying to get a bigger contract who knows at this point but it’s well known that Donovan MIT wanted to play for the Knicks he’s from New York his dad works for the Mets it seems like he wanted the trade to the Knicks

But ended up with the Cavs so I don’t know I could see Donovan Mitchell leaving I mean Cleveland historically has not been a place that Superstars have wanted to play I don’t know it’s funny because in doing research for this video I also found conflicting the reports that he’s totally happy in

Cleveland yeah has no interest in leaving just don’t trust anyone how about that yeah look the Knicks for Mitchell you know he’s from New York probably grew up a Knicks fan but candidly unless it’s like his basketball dream to be a Nick to play a Madison

Square Garden I don’t get this I don’t know I don’t get wanting to leave Cleveland for New York unless it’s just about I want to be a Nick in Cleveland Look they’re going through their struggles right now but I think that roster can be just as good as the Knicks

I think they’ve got more potential than the Knicks like I think Garland Moy and Allen have got more potential than Brunson Randall and anobi yeah all agree I mean obviously I’m insanely biased here I will say Donovan Mitchell is not even the guy I necessarily want for the

Knicks but from his perspective first of all there’s like the player building your brand it’s just straight up New York and Cleveland there’s a huge difference there yeah if it’s about okay I want a brand and I want to be the biggest star possible then yeah I get

That I’m talking like purely from a basketball standpoint I mean even from a basketball standpoint the roster itself yeah I can see more upside with the Cavs but the Knicks just beat the Cavs in the playoffs and that was with Donovan Mitchell on the Cavs and not on the

Knicks and and if you’re looking at from this perspective the Cavs are kind of stuck in terms of their flexibility like they sent out all these picks and swaps to get Mitchell the Knicks still have future picks they have a lot more flexibility it’s going to be a lot

Easier to convince another star to come join him in New York than in Cleveland so I don’t know I mean the Cavs have higher upside players but the Knicks have much more flexibility with their roster but the Nicks would probably have to burn some of those picks on Mitchell

Himself they would and they probably would have to burn anobi too unless you could somehow Swindle the cabs into taking Julius Randall for some reason I just feel like Randall’s gone in this scen I don’t know where he goes how it ends up how it works but I just imagine

Randle’s gone somehow you keep OG you got jayen Brunson and then you kind of fill in the pieces from there three team trade yeah exactly so you’ve made your pitch on why the Knicks are a better place to be than the Cavaliers but do you think that the Cavs should actually

Trade Mitchell because in my opinion you do not do it unless he outright demands it unless somehow you’re trading Mitchell to get a player better than him which I highly doubt but you never know they have no incentive to kind of be worse like I said they sent out all

Those picks for Mitchell they’re unprotected you might as well just keep them I mean in hindsight if I’m the Cavs I just regret making the trade in general but at this point you kind of just got to keep with what you got and hope some of the young players can get

Better you’re stuck at this point you can’t just trade them now and get less than what you traded him for yeah I think if you’re the Cass you have to run the risk of losing him in 2025 like it sucks if you’re the Cavs but it’s a risk

You have to take because if you trade him like you said you’re not getting a player that’s better than him you’re probably getting back a decent package maybe you get back anobi maybe you get back some picks so you’re still going to be good but you’re not going to be a

Contender and now you don’t have that many assets to improve the roster in the future like get another star in the future and would you even want to do that if Mitchell Burns you I wouldn’t yeah probably not and look the Cavs could still turn around like it’s very

Early and if you look at them last year I think they’re only two games worse at this point than they were last year so you know what they got time they could turn it around but all these Rumblings about Mitchell and just the way the roster is performing as a whole it’s not

Good vibes right now but Cleveland just stay the course or draft bronny and get LeBron back that’s what you got to do this fixes everything you get Brony he’s a good like primier defending guard you don’t really have that cuz Mitchell and Garland aren’t really that and then you

Get Brawn back to finish the chapter wouldn’t that be just a great end to the movie The like 10-part Netflix series that’s coming where LeBron gets interviewed and he’s like I knew I had to come back home play LeBron and win one more for Cleveland Ohio I could see

It that’s all I’m saying I can see it Bron’s the type and I can’t wait for it I would love it that’s the video guys what do you think the Cavs are going to do with Donan Mitchell I’d love to hear ched to say in the comments down below if you

The Cleveland Cavaliers have had an interesting start to the 2023-24 NBA Season as they haven’t taken that next step towards contender status like many thought they would. Their big 3 of young players Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen haven’t improved significantly, while there have been ever increasing whispers regarding the future of Donovan Mitchell. With the Cavs season not going the way many in the organization expected, its time to wonder if the Cavs will soon have to make a big decision.
