It’s pretty obvious that Donovan is not in those stars league when it comes to trade value. He is a 6’0 one way star. That doesn’t get the haul that those others get.

Donovan must have benjamin button syndrome, he gets smaller every day. If a team questions his value, point to him being the #1 option on the best team in basketball last season, being the #1 option for the #1 offense in basketball this season, or his 28 ppg playoff scoring average. The Knicks just parted ways with two lottery picks to clear cap space for Jalen Brunson. I'm fairly confident that someone will want a 25 year old 26/5/5 player.
Harden out of shape having a terrible year at age 32 just landed the Nets Simmons, Curry, Drummond and multiple 1sts, lol. Forgot when he was a lock down defender.
Brooklyn has been extremely reluctant to move KD but one player they inquired about was Donovan. Interesting since teams don't valeu him.

All it’s going to take is one bad season or lots of injuries to them and our haul of 1st rounders will be a masterstroke of a trade

The Miami Heat are another team that has been linked to Mitchell but they are also limited in the quality of their best offer. A package including Kyle Lowry, Tyler Herro, Nikola Jovic, and Gabe Vincent would probably be involved, but they are limited in trading a 2023 first-round pick and another one in 2028 or 2029.
They can easily trade their 23/27/29 1sts by getting rid of the protections on the 2025 1st they sent to OKC. They can also send 1st round pick swaps in 24/26/28.

This. Someone please identify one thing DM does above average other than volume scoring? Which he does at a relatively unspectacular efficiency.

That's from hoopshype. It's unprotected in 2026 either way for OKC, can't they just defer like the Nets did with the 76ers pick this season. So regardless the best package they can offer is a 23 1st (in a year we have 3 already), 27 first if they get OKC to agree to it, and 2029 1st along with Herro, Duncan, and other filler.

He averaged more ppg with a higher FG% then Curry when his team was the best offensive team in the NBA. Same argument can be made for Rudy Gobert, why pay him $40M when the Warriors were better defensively with vet min venter Kevon Looney holding it down, lol.

That wasn't the ****ing question. But, I know your super power is avoiding the question.

Donovan Mitchell: 26 ppg, 4 rpg, 5 apg on 45/35/85 splits
Stephen Curry: 25.5 ppg, 5 rpg, 6 apg on 44/38/92 splits
Devin Booker: 27 ppg, 5 rpg, 5 apg on 46/38/85 splits
Averaged basically the same number across the board as Curry and Booker last season. Does that argument apply for them as well? What did they do significantly better then Donovan on worse offensive teams?
