2022 NBA Offseason thread

Why not include Okoro instead of the rookie? 3 1st's is a lot + 2 swaps. I didn't in my right mind thing they would ever do this

Holy Shit, Cleveland!!!

This reminds me of all the tweets saying the Clippers were out on Kawhi.

From now on, every time they say that shit, I'm going to think that's exactly where the player will land.

Wasn't it just days ago that they said the Cavs ended trade talks?

I wonder how Mitchell and the Knicks are feeling?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Another superstar the Knicks miss out on……. Nothing new as a Knicks

This is what happens when you believe you have all the leverage.

Like, its Danny Ainge.

Dude is a tyrant.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Are the Cavs that much better with a volume shooter like Mitchell?

 

[ElPatron1]

Seems like a really good trade tbh

Only person i hate to see go in Markkannen. The Cavs played their best basketball in years when Sexton went down with an injury, and Donovan is a clear upgrade and only 25.

Danny overpaying sexton is...a choice.

They have to get to the floor.

If he plays well, they can ship his ass out for more picks.

Not much difference in overpaying Sexton and overpaying Barrett.

Well, a couple of inches and a injury.

But, still...lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

Garland, Mitchell, Okoro, Mobley and Allen is a nice starting 5 but they aren't finishing ahead of Boston, Philly, BK, Miami, or Milwaukee. They could get 6th I guess. Or be a play-in team.

But, in the playoffs? Bounced in the 1st, maybe the 2nd most likely.

He's an upgrade. No question. Not sure he's that big though.

Unless, they start LeVert at SF and bring Okoro off the bench.

It all hinges on player development.

They are better but the 3 position is very worrisome. I don't like Okoro in the 3 since he can't shoot. Even after this move they do not have a 2-way wing which is what you need to win

I forgot Miami in the original post.

Trade LeVert and Okoro for one maybe.

So better than the Lakers?

They are much younger than those teams...

@WiggyRuss where are you?

Title or bust? Couldn't find the green font.

As long as he doesn't take the ball out of Garland's hands, he's like a souped up version of Sexton.

Smallish back court.

But, Mobley and Allen can cleanup a lot of messes.

Just gotta worry about foul trouble.

I 100% believe this makes he Cavs better.

But, not sure I would have paid that price because it doesn't put them ahead of the Celtics, Bucks, 76ers, Brooklyn if they don't implode nor Miami.

It puts them with Toronto.

Ahead of Atlanta, Knicks...

But, weren't they already , arguably, there before this move?

The Lakers average age, bud? 25.8 years old.

Nice try.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Well they have 4 guys that can handle the ball: Garland, Mitchell, LeVert and Rubio
