2022 NBA Offseason thread

[DJ Fieri]

This will be the year, he just needs more corners mixed in

Fuck you.

 

[dtgold88]

Sexton is just another Westbrick imo

Utah will be worse next year, i guarantee it

another Westbrook? I guess other than being an efficient scorer and not the passer he is, sure.

Utah is kind of blowing it up so, sure, they might be worse. are you saying that will all be on Sexton?

Sexton is another Westbrook
Sexton is injury prone
Sexton cannot shoot

If you are going to make it up as you go, be more creative.

Now that Mitchell is gone, let's discuss how big of a failure that Utah group was

Are they as big a failure as the Nets last season?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hahahahaha.

Did Stephen A's head explode again with another daily tirade against the Knicks?

I'm glad they didn't do that Mitchell deal.

 

[thunderc]

Fuck you.

You have been a little hostile lately

 

[dtgold88]

Mitchell is not a superstar, in my opinion

I can agree with that. star...not a superstar. If he is your best player not sure how far you can go. For the cavs to be a title contender, most likely Mobley will need to become our best player.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

You keep saying this but he was helping us win in the short time he played before his injury. I mean, they didn't win much before last season but they also did not have Mobley or LM. Love was usually hurt. 2 years prior Garland was among the worst players in the NBA. Also no Allen until after the 2020-21 season started.

In addition, he's an efficient shooter. Just say you don't like the kid....no reason to make things up about him that are factually incorrect.

I will give you this one.

Out of the 11 games he played, they only lost 4.

So, he was definitely helping.

On the flip side, his absence helped Garland improve.

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah I don’t know about this one. Mitchell and Garland both seem ball dominant.

It's not a lock it can work. Will be compared, I'm sure, to Lillard/CJ in Portland. Though maybe that would have worked better had they had Mobley and allen in the front court.

 

[Wamu]

I can agree with that. star...not a superstar. If he is your best player not sure how far you can go. For the cavs to be a title contender, most likely Mobley will need to become our best player.

Mobley has all the tools to quickly become the Cavs best player. No reason that doesn't happen. I like his game. His only year at USC I went outta my way to watch Trojan games so I could see him. And I think it's cool the Cavs drafted his brother.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I can agree with that. star...not a superstar. If he is your best player not sure how far you can go. For the cavs to be a title contender, most likely Mobley will need to become our best player.

He's not your best player.

For now, that's Garland.

By Season's end it might be Mobley.

Mitchell does give you something every team needs.

Do you remember the duel he had with Murray in the playoffs?

Both those guys went nuts.

You are going to the playoffs.

If the score gets tight, he can get you a bucket and he is unafraid.

 

[dtgold88]

Sexton is not a superstar.

Mitchell is better than Sexton

He is....but question will be is he better than Sexton, LM, Agbaji and what all those picks become.

Maybe it's time you say Sexton has a poor work ethic since you are just making it up?

 

[DJ Fieri]

It's not a lock it can work. Will be compared, I'm sure, to Lillard/CJ in Portland. Though maybe that would have worked better had they had Mobley and allen in the front court.

Try it for a year or 2, if it doesn't?

Call the Knicks.

 

[dtgold88]

No he wasn't. Check his true shooting % and his true 3 pt % along with his PER. Not good. Sexton is an energy player who hustles, and like westbrick, eventually that doesn't work.

as a guard he makes about 47% overall and 37% from 3 but he cannot shoot?

 

[trojanfan12]

Now that Mitchell is gone, let's discuss how big of a failure that Utah group was

Danny was like my wife when we first moved in together and all my shit was tossed out or sold in yard sales.

He was like "this and this and all that shit over there...it has to go". lol

 

[DJ Fieri]

I can agree with that. star...not a superstar. If he is your best player not sure how far you can go. For the cavs to be a title contender, most likely Mobley will need to become our best player.

Garland-Mobley would have been a nice 1-2 punch long term.....I guess Altman felt like he had to shoot his shot since the Cavs play in the loaded EC.

 

[dtgold88]

No.

He's definitely BETTER.

But, they obviously overpaid.

Me personally, I would rather have Mitchell on a max.

I just would not give that kinda money to Sexton.

If they didn't, they would lose him for nothing.

Again: Overpay.

I'm not being a dick here...

But, it's Cleveland.

Starts weren't lining up to go there when they had Lebron.

So, they have to do what they have to in order to land a guy of Mitchell's caliber....even if he isn't a Superstar.

agree with the last part but is $18 mil per really such an overpay? Hell, Brunson and Simons just got $25-26 mil per.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Cavs did what they were supposed to do.

Built a very talented young core- and then added to it with an All Star player

who in the NBA has 4 young all-star caliber level players?

Lloyd was just on 92.3 and said he just finished a mail bag where he said the Cavs would not get Mitchell because they would not include Allen or Garland. He said he is shocked they did not have to give one of them up.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

That is the exact mindset he had with Gobert. Perhaps in the playoffs everyone will blame the wrong people again and Mitchell can keep skating by on half a game.

Yeah....concede.

You are correct.

 

[bksballer89]

Are they as big a failure as the Nets last season?

Nets story isn't finished yet so pointless to discuss. They can very well win it all this season

 

[Sportsguy9695]

Mitchell is not a superstar, in my opinion

Well he would of improved the Knicks
