Dame Time

Sure buddy. Put Mitchell on the blazers team from last year and playing pg and he puts up over 30 a game and around 7 assists. Only an idiot compares numbers across the board when team dynamics actually matter.

Also if you want to go that route then just 2 years ago you have to say Mitchell was better than Lillard because he put up better numbers.

Mitchell- 25.9pts, 5.3asts, 4.2rbs, 44.8%fg, 35.5%3pt, 33.8min

Lillard- 24pts, 7.3asts, 4.1rbs, 40.2%fg, 32.4%3pt, 36.4min

Also if we want to talk about career numbers this is the number per 36 minutes for their careers.

Mitchell- 26pts, 4.7asts, 4.4rbs, 44.8%fg, 36.5%3pt

Lillard- 25pts, 6.6asts, 4.2rbs, 43.9%fg, 37.2%3pt

You know, Donovan Mitchell is pretty good. If we could add him to this team they’d be pretty great. Keeping Mitchell originally means we don’t have Lauri and it’s a much less interesting team. So not really relevant as a reason to do or not do this Lillard trade.

Riveting as always

Don’t even reply to him. He literally is the worst poster on the site. If nobody ever replies maybe he will stop posting.

And that’s saying something

I would not want to trade George or THT. They can have Sexton, Clarkson, Hendricks, Sensabaugh, 2-3 picks. That’s fine. But George and THT have way too much upside.

Bro… THT is a deal breaker for Dame? Give me a break.

 

[Shad]

That’s not even bad.

So we're mediocre for 3 years and then what?

 

[Miggs]

Hendricks, Sensabaugh and three 1sts with one of them being fairly protected.

This isn’t even close money wise. Would need to add Sexton and Clarkson methinks.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Okay, who are we giving up? They'll want either young players + picks. Ogbaji, George, Brice, and hendrick. Probably 2 of those, 2 more picks, and then fillers. No thank you!

Two of those type of players and two firsts is a pretty sweet deal for us.

I would be super curious how the Jazz (and this board) would value Hendricks, Ochai, George, Sensabaugh etc. in order. Assuming we’d try to compete right away.

You think a team with Dame, Clarkson, Lauri, Collins and Kessler are going to be mediocre for 3 years?

As far as value goes Hendricks is easily the most valuable. Ochai and George are probably pretty similar but I’d say George is worth more due to age and upside.

I’d rather the three 1sts with no protections than two with protections on a third and THT.

For one, Lillard is a legit top-10 player in the league. Secondly, the Conley deal gets **** on but if the front office did a better job drafting and in FA we might have had a trip or two to the WCF and dare I say Finals.

He is a borderline top 10 player right now. These guys I think are clearly still in front of him for me.

Jokic
Giannis
Embiid
Tatum
Luka
Curry
Lebron
KD
Anthony Davis
Jimmy Butler

Then you have a tier of quite a few players that he is bunched in with.
Lillard
SGA
Mitchell
Booker
George
Kawhi
Brunson
Harden
Morant
Trey Young
Jaren Jackson

Then of course there is the question of how long he can maintain his current level of play going forward. I would say the odds are he begins to take a step back next year.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

We still have a bunch of draft picks to cash in on at that point.

What’s your plan? Bad for three years then mediocre afterwards?

If this does happen, i wonder if the Collins’ deal was part of the plan to ready our team and luring Lillard to Utah.

I doubt it. The Hawks and Jazz have been discussing a Collins deal for like a year.
