If it requires us to trade #1 for him I’m out
However, Mitchell was an advocate for Quin Snyder, his former coach with the Utah Jazz, and he hoped the organization would consider bringing Snyder in after the struggles displayed to end the 2022-23 season if things didn’t work out with Bickerstaff. It is no coincidence that Mitchell always went out of his way to publicly praise Snyder before he took the job with the Atlanta Hawks.

Iāve been thinking we might be good trade partners with them if they were interested in trading him for DJM. Obviously Mitchell is a lot better but heās also super high risk for the Cavs to keep since hes in a walk year and probably wonāt resign with them and DJM would give them a cheap good player with extra years of control. Not sure how DJM would fit with Garland but it might work better than Trae and DJM.Ā
That said, wouldnāt do it for the #1 pick.
This feels like the Jaylen Brown and Siakam talk that will ultimately fail to materialize. Donāt see a world where we can put together a good enough trade package for him
Iāll listenā¦
djm for donovan who says no /s
Not sure how we compete with a nets package
He is a FA.
I get being gunshy and liking the unknown aspect of Sarrās upside, but we would kill if he turned out as good as Mitchell. Mitchell and Trae are friends so it helps that angle. Mitchell loves Snyder so it makes sense from that angle. A trio of Trae, Donovan, and JJ is nothing to laugh at. Itās surrounding those with length and defense that would be paramount.
I donāt get the excitement for this. Yes, heās a great player, but we literally just had a failed experiment with a second ball dominant scorer with defense problems. Iām not signing up for round 2 of that.
Send Trae. Move Murray to point guard, spider to SG. Paying Trae and Mitchell together is either impossible or very unwise
They then reroute Garland elsewhere. Trae/Mobley would be fun there
Every guard in the league would be putting up wilt numbers against us
