I'll be honest tho, idk how him and Brunson works as a backcourt.

[–] Prestigious_Cattle72@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Wonder how Mitchell would fit next to Bridges instead

[–] SneakyGreninja@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

i think instead he should go to minnesota. think about it he has an elite rim defender in rudy gobert, great for the pnr and all

[–] Artsky32@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve always wanted to see Mitchell and ben Simmons on the same team, they seem like the perfect compliments to each other .

[–] BruceBrownMVP@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Surely the only way we pick someone like him up is through FA no?

The amount of important players we would have to give up to make the Cavs interested would make Don not interested.

It's not like we have our own picks to throw at the problem to make up for a lopsided trade.

Now that is exciting.. he has enough defenders on the perimeter to help him out in BK.

Fringe playoff team, 1st rd exit

[–] thereticent@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He could bring Ben back to life

I am also wondering this. We have room for an upgrade at guard but it rides on how ready Cam Thomas is to carry a major offensive role.

[–] shoutsoutstomywrist@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If Donovan was even 25% interested in Brooklyn then we gotta go all in, giving away Cam is the barest minimum

[–] boogswald@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To put it in perspective as a cleveland fan, I don’t care about Cam Thomas at all. You put him in a trade and I skip right past that name in a Donovan Mitchell trade. He’s the filler (no offense, just trying to put this in a genuine perspective)

[–] shoutsoutstomywrist@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No offense taken it’s makes sense to me, nothing we have is equal to Donovan (that we’d be willing to trade) so I think it’s best to just throw y’all any and everything if it means we can add Spida to our core

His offense alone alleviates our biggest problem

[–] ClutchGamingGuy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He is not lmao

[–] PrimeShaq@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bro it's Donovan Mitchell.

[–] Joetheshow1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If Donovan came to NY I'd honestly want RJ to move to the 6th man and have Hart start at the 3 since he's a better defender and could help out Brunson and Donovan better, Grimes is too small to start at the 3 full time imo

[–] shockwave8428@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Starting 3 people under 6’4 always works, we never had issues with it or anything

[–] NefariousNeezy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Simple - 2 balls at the same time

[–] pickledelbow@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Rumor is the sixers are trying to get him as well and I feel the same way about a Mitchell/Maxey backcourt. Defense would be so bad

[–] IlonggoProgrammer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Heat are a much better fit for him. Jimmy and Bam cover for him defensively, and Jimmy can be the primary ball handler. It allows Donovan to guard the 1 while still playing the 2 on offense. People have long wanted to pair him with a tall point guard, and Jimmy is a point forward so that’s even better for him.

[–] TdotGdot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Agree. Mitchell is for sure better than Brunson, but not by miles, and they kind of occupy the same space.

For the Knicks maybe you just grab the asset and figure it out later, but agree the fit is suspect.

[–] ClutchGamingGuy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hopefully we'll never have to find out
