Time for Mobley to deliver. This is why you don’t play casual AF in games 3 and 4. Now I’m legitimately believing Orlando gonna win this one. They lose tonight Donny gonna pack it in.

Mobley is still super raw but would be a great target. The Cavs have basically ignored his development since they added Don. They went into "win now" mode with that small backcourt and Allen on the roster. He would solve a lot of the Jazz defensive issues and has a ton of room to develop as a hub offensively which is the area the Cavs have totally ignored with him the past 2 seasons. I'm assuming they would want Lauri back who is the better fit next to Allen. I'd offer Hendricks+ Sensabaugh+ picks.
The Cavs situation certainly seems tied into Don's decision to extend (or not extend) with them.
There is so much to unlock there still with Evan Mobley. He has barely scratched the surface.
Unfortunately I doubt even they'd be dumb enough to part with him. But you never know.
I heard this hope "They decide to completely blow things up" many times but why would they do it? Like, do you have many (or any!) examples when a team decided to completely blow up their still very young core of good players? I mean, I can see how they can decide to trade one or two of the Garland-Mobley-Allen-Mitchell for other good players...but do blow it up for picks? Like, has it ever happened?
There was a team somewhere in the west recently who blew it up with two future hall of famers with at least three years left on their deals. Wish I could remember who it was.
Mobley has flaws, but he is damn good. Will be interesting to see how Sarr compares to him when he gets in the league

You’ll definitely have to steal first to hit home runs thrown over the base. That or a really long bat.
Not that I can think of, nor saying it's at all I likely. It's a pipe dream. I just drool over adding Mobley to this team - he's in the top 3-5 guys league-wide I'd be most excited about adding.
You're right that they are in a unique spot and don't have to blow anything up. It could be as simple as trading Don (would be smart to sell high on him if they flame out, he's not re-signing) and Jarrett Allen (I don't like the Mobley/Allen Pairing) and building around Garland/Mobley + a ton of picks.
