And that's why we will likely always be in the treadmill of mediocrity.

Markkenanen is a great guy and good player, but he isn't taking us anywhere. He's a 3rd option on a title team but we have to build around him like he's a #1 or #2.

We cleaned up on the Rudy deal and should have built around Don from there. We panicked and put all our chips into the draft basket.

It's quite likely that the Cleveland picks will never even be lower than #20, and just do some research on what picks #20+ end up being.

Don literally didn't take us anywhere. Lauri might. Remains to be seen.

If we had Donovan now the convo would be how he is leaving in two years

We don't know that, and we never will.

Doesn't justify trading him so early anyway. There was no rush to trade him. Now everybody wants to beat their chests over getting Lauri and other assets from Cleveland which likely has kept us from the top of the lottery. Brilliant plan...

Of course we know that. We know how this dance plays out. Don't act ignorant.

I remember someone once told everyone here we should focus on the players we have and not talk about ones we don’t. You also act like we wouldn’t be a play-in team if we kept Mitchell and traded Gobert. We’d be in a WAY worse spot.

This is a thread speculating on a player we don't have. Talking about Dame is no different than talking about Donovan Mitchell.

Dame is an old, often busted up version of Donovan Mitchell. Trading for him is a dumb idea. Keeping Donovan would have been smarter. We could have used draft assets to trade for Lauri if that was the end goal and we would have been better off.

I really wish people would stop saying this. It gets proven wrong literally every single year. Do you have any clue who will be on Cleveland’s roster in 2027-2029?

Why would Cleveland trade a starter for draft assets when they are trying to compete?

Also, nobody knew Lauri would be this good. Not DA or JZ either.
