So who wants to trade Fav and a pick for Mirotic

This guy.

Best win of the year. What an amazing comeback. Gobert played like trash (thankfully he has few of these games a season but nearly every player does), but damn did Favors step up and have a hell of a game.

Mitchell was incredible, though those missed FTs at the end made things nervous. Still, those 3s were great.

A funny moment on the first of the two he hit in the last minute of the 4th. On the bench you could see Udoh go "why" (or something to that effect). When it went in Ricky was giving him some good natured crap for doubting Mitchell. Good stuff. In defense of Udoh I think I said the same thing before it went in.
 
There’s a difference?
Yeah, there's probably 20 - 30 guys in the league who can be stars but there's only like 5 - 8 guys who are superstars. LeBron, Durant, Curry, Harden, Giannis, etc would be superstars due to the way they impact their teams in a number of different ways, have transcendent abilities on the floor (e.g. Curry's shooting) and can carry any so-so team on a night to night basis, but guys like Lillard, Griffin, Butler would just be stars as while they can put up games which are superstar level they can't do it consistently enough, or they have a significant flaw which can be exploited.

Mitchell at the start of the season wasn't really at a star level but he has been a star in 2019, and tonight he was absolutely a superstar player. Gobert is the guy who's been the star all season long and now that Mitchell is there with him the Jazz look like a top 4 team in the West again.

In Gobert's defense it might have been different for him if the refs didn't let Giannis push off of him every possession to start the game.
 
I’ll place the Jazz with the likes of Boston, OKC, Denver, Indy and Philly.

Agreed on the next tier though. I’ll take 5 west teams over the next east team.
Should have put the Jazz in there as well. I was just taking the current standings.

As for Mitchell, I agree with what has been said. He's a star and upped his game to superstar level against Milwaukee. And he's only in his 2nd year.. I really hope Lindsey can get him a sidekick. That would make Donovan so much more dangerous.
