Donovan Mitchell is just a starter if not 6 man off the bench moving forward. Simmons is an elite defender and.. really just generational talent. Mitchell is throwing up like 19 shots a game to get that 20 points. He is good.. but not a high ceiling talent wise than Simmons. Frankly no GM or fan even would consider trading Simmons for anything including Mitchell and everything else you can throw in too.
The Jazz would not consider trading Mitchell for Simmons either. A 6 man? I know that was a shot to get me upset, but I'm not. Simply because you have said something that reveals your limited knowledge when it comes to the sport of basketball. Limited because your probably composing these messages from the basement of your mothers house, or guest room of her trailer. Your also more than likely born after 1992 making your basketball IQ amongst those of brain damaged primates. Simmons and the Sixers are in a conference where half of your teams don't belong in the playoffs. The ENTIRE NBA is debating eliminating the 2 conferences to the top 16 teams because your conference can't even look competitive during the Playoffs.
Philadelphia beat Miami.
Miami had a regular season win/loss of 44 wins and 38 losses.
Miami won 44 games out of 82 games, playing mostly Eastern conference teams.
If they were in the west they would be a 10th seed and not come close to making the playoffs.
Congrats to Philadelphia.. They beat a team in the Miami Heat whos starting 5 consisted of
Goran Dragic- 31 years old, 17 ppg, 4.8 apg, 2.2 turnovers, 32 mpg, 0.8 Spg, 0.2 BPG, 75 games played.
(older, can't defend, can't distribute, respected minutes to show his worth and couldn't do it.
Tyler Johnson- 25 years old, 11.7 ppg, 2.3 apg, 1.1 turnovers, 28.5 mpg, 0.8 spg, .5 bpg, 72 games played.
(how is this guy a starting player in the NBA?? Any other team he would be G-League.
J. Richardson- 24 years old, 12.9 ppg, 2.9 apg, 1.7 turnovers, 33.2 mpg, 1.5 spg, 0.9 bpg, 81 games played.
(this guy is also a starter!! Any other team???...... Yep, bench warmer, water boy.
James Johnson- 30 years old, 10.8 ppg, 3.8 apg, 1.9 turnovers, 26.6 mpg, 1.0 spg, 0.7 bpg, 73 games played.
Some of the better stats from your team came from this guy, and still inconsistent productivity.
H. Whiteside- 28 years old, 14.0 ppg, 1.0 apg, 1.7 turnovers, 25.3 mpg, 0.7 spg, 1.7 bpg, 54 games played.
This is the team that you beat!!! Congratulations!!!! A team with nothing but bench players, but hey, welcome to the East!!!
