GTFO! This has to be made up. The thing that makes you think it’s real is because you could honestly see him saying something like that.

 

[WiggyRuss]

If they aren’t going to play Wiseman and Kuminga, they need to trade them before they get too close to RFA.

Right now they could return a pretty good player.

and before Wiseman continues to crater his value.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Are you more worried about twitter content or the product on the court?

most worried about age

Of course it’s fake. lol that’s why I only posted the pic, but I agree. It’s something he could potentially say.

Thought the call was amazing

Not saying he isn't a great player, but claiming him over Durant is a bit over the top.

One guy is ascending, the other descending.

By pure basketball standards, Kevin has had the better career.

But, he’s also a malcontent and that shit matters.

For the Cavs, I’d rather have Mitchell too.

His prime is closer to Mobley, Garlands timeline.

Unless you believe the Cavs are the difference between Durant and Mitchell away from winning it all?

Thats a different conversation.

Healthy GS Durant might even be able to make that argument. Not now.

Healthy GS 5 years younger Durant and it would be no argument at all.

Not even a discussion.

You take Durant.

true.

Yeah, totally agree.

Durant is still plenty good.

I know it’s early and neither of us have a history of hot takes….

But, Donavan has been the better player, the first 2 weeks of the Season.

He looks like a excellent fit, even without the benefit of seeing him alongside Garland.

Plus, he’s happy to be there and that shit matters as well.

* see Mr. Miserable, Durant, in Brooklyn

Hell, I was a little concerned he might just be a volume scorer. so far does not seem to be the case. Yes, he can score but more to his game.

If you want to hope there are issues down the road to take a victory lap I wont stop you.

Just saying he has been inconsistent in the past, wouldn't expect peak production consistently.

Sure, but with any player it's most about their current contract, with player movement becoming what it is.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

Klay has never been a good advanced stats guy but he's at -7.9 BPM right now which would pretty much make him the worst rotation player in the entire league.

Still shocked warriors won the title. Ja had to get hurt, Chris choke had Luka's dick in his mouth and jaylen brown kept bouncing the ball off his foot while dribbling.

Fake dynasty that will never win again.

Not sure I'd expect peak production consistently from many players.

 

[dtgold88]

Per Shams/FD Garland is a go tonight

 

[shopson67]

32/4/7 is likely not sustainable with the Cavs is my point.

You mean amazing-ly lame, right?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Mitchell does have this year, plus 2 more, plus Cavs will have Bird Rights and I think he just turned 26.....pretty ideal.....

especially if they do well, the young guys like Garland and Mobley improve- and he likes playing here.

not impossible he goes to New York after 3 years- but he would likely have to turn down more money and go to a worse team- and leave a team where he is the leader, he has grown with.--- and leave a Mobley that is 3 years closer to his prime (not to mention Garland). That may be a big mistake.

 

[dtgold88]

32/4/7 is likely not sustainable with the Cavs is my point.

doubt anyone would disagree with that. Only disagreed with this semi doom and gloom comment......

"Just wait. You're still in the honeymoon period with Mitchell. There was a time when the Jazz loved him too."

 

[WiggyRuss]

32/4/7 is likely not sustainable with the Cavs is my point.

I dont think they want him doing that- and it is definitely not sustainable with Garland getting healthy.

Cavs prob. wont lead the league in 3 pt % either- but its been nice so far.
