Gotta have a willing trade partner.

Plus….remember:

Gobert fucked up the market.
I think you hit the nail on the head with your comment on the Mitchell trade earlier. It was pure panic. They went and acquired a name over fit because of what you said about FA.

If anyone is holding Mobley back it might be himself and he definitely needs to be more aggressive. Not sure he can become that guy but we'll see.

Mobley seems to have the same issue AD has had for most of his career. He's a gifted offensive player who could be dominant on that end of the floor. But he's also an elite level defender and is happy to just take care of business defensively and let others handle the scoring.

Come on, Cavs.

You can’t let Jake Laravia give you the business.

Bases on the conversation I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that the Cavs aren’t having a great 1st quarter against the Grizzlies.

I think that’s the discussion with DJ and Fighting.

I wholly disagree that it was a bad or misguided trade.

When guys like that come available, you grab them.

I don't think it's some huge guarantee he leaves either.

One of you gurus, I’m wondering about the timing of this. Why would they do it right now?
I’m at a loss. 34 million and 4 years per is a big time commitment for a guy on the back end.

They werent allowed to do this before 4/1

So seems like they basically got this going right when they could

Also saves the Celtics a huge amount in taxes next year vs holliday picking up his player option

Like 9m in cap dollars and much more in cap dollars

I’m curious how much of year 4 is guaranteed

But they’re all in the next 3-4 years anyway
