Tough one.

Deron dumping Tmac two years in a row was delicious. Ending the Kmart/Melo Nugheads was amazing too. Boom bitches! Deron lost in the playoffs against a better Lakers team. Not sure you could blame him. Expectations were never that high as we weren’t contenders. We were usually playing 3 on 5 offensively with Brewer and AK47 being so limited offensively.

Spida killed the Thunder, which was delicious. But then lost against teams that we were arguably better, namely the Bubble Nuggets, the Clawless Clippers, and the Luka-less Mavs. Expectations were much higher in that we were considered contenders. Losing against the Clippers last year was a legacy setting setback imo. We were clearly a more talented team once Kawhi went down. Although, I admit that Q’s inability to adjust contributed to that choke job.

I went with Deron.

Can you imagine watching Donovan try to guard prime D-Will?

Can you imagine D-Will trying to stop Mitchell. I give overall to Deron. But scoring to Mitchell. Don is Kobe. Deron is Magic.

Overall I think Mitchell has the better career. Deron needed a system to be successful, Don will be dominate within or without one.

If Deron had been given the green light to shoot one hundred 3 pointers a game, he would’ve scored much more as well. Back then the Jazz actually ran plays and got high percentage shots inside. It’s ultimately what led to our WCF appearance as we wore down the 3 pt chucking Warriors.

Back then the NBA wasn’t just a 3 pt chucking contest. You still had big men that posted up. It’s really a completely different game today with the way rules have allowed perimeter players to all become Steph Curry and post up bigs have disappeared. Honestly, I’m not a fan. I find the NBA pretty boring today. It’s a game that relies on 3-4 skilled players trying to get a 3 or draw a foul while a big runs like a chicken with its head cut off setting picks. Teams don’t value possessions, they rarely go inside, and every team plays a similar way.
