Donovan Mitchell 71 points

I wonder what it would have taken to get Lauri from the cavs while keeping Mitchell. I bet based on that roster construction they would have had a lot of interest in Bogie or Royce. He was coming off a solid season for the cavs but nothing special so maybe one first as well.

He didn’t say it so I’m thankful for that, but the tea leaves seem to suggest he wanted out. But I guess that’s not something anyone can say for sure.

I’d say that his remarks regarding Utah and it’s response to his pro BLM “social activism” was confirmation enough. And I’m not taking any sides in this grievance either because though I did live there and didn’t experience what he’s referring to, I didn’t have his perspective either.

I’m jealous of the fact you can be happy for him. I wish I could, but all I can think about is the fact that he’s having a year ten times better than he ever had with us, hell even his defense and FG % is 10 times better. You’re just a better person than me

I agree with your assessment of his play this year as opposed to his time in Utah and most particularly last season. So much better imo, particularly his defense but also reflected in his assist numbers. But the part that’s really off the charts different is his clutch play this year! Night and day difference. I mean make your own conclusions but for me, from a holistic perspective (a performer is only as good as his audience), Snyder was not a clutch coach and by extension, did not imbue confidence or provide competent guidance in those situations.

No way was Lauri ever going to be traded in some lateral type move. He was way too good of an asset for the Cavs.
 
****ing beast last night in dramatic fashion. How anyone can complain about it, as if it didn't matter is laughable. Garland just became a little bit more available being hurt and out of the line up, when it happened , than he was before that game.

garland was out this game and cavs just let DM do his thing. they might have to trade garland for an elite 3D wing in the long run.

he became a little more available, but having both of them is probably far more advantageous for winning a ring. They have like 4 sf's they rotate all the time. None of them are ever locked in as the starter and none are more than 4th options, but all of them are hustle defenders that fit pretty well with the smaller guards and giant front court.
Mobley was also out hurt and Love got his minutes.

Yeah…and a few nights earlier was Donovan expendable because Garland dropped 50? I swear some of you are such live in the moment morons lol. Again…he’s had plenty of nights where he’s had as many or more shots than points this season too. Who’s complaining? He’s not on this team. He ain’t won anything but a 1st round playoff series and isn’t going to in Cleveland either.

You have no idea what he is going to do, but he just gave you every reason to stfu last night. Instead it made you feel the need to try to talk it away as if he didn't. go home to wherever that is loser

No he didn’t because the game before he did his whole more shots than points appearance lol. He dropped 50+ in the bubble and 40+ a bunch of times. Did us a lot of good when he quit didn’t it? Second round exits impending. He won’t accomplish **** in Cleveland either and will leave there too. I will bet you a fair sum he’s a 2nd round exit at the most this season, next season, then leaves and does the exact same garbage he did here. Enjoy. He has the capability of going off, that’s obvious and was before last night too lol. Let’s see him accomplish more than a 2nd round exit for his team.
 
More seriously, Cleveland use Don in a much better way we did. At Utah he was the one who want to do all. In Cavs, he is not passing much and he let Garland conductiong the game much more. As a result, he can focus on offense and also put a bit of effort on defense. I'm happy for him even i still think they will struggle at crutch tine later in the season.
