Mitchell needs to learn to trust and involve his teammates(even though not many of them really deserve to be involved). Otherwise he turns into a Westbrook-type, where nobody wants to play with you.

And yes, this is criticism of a rookie who just scored 35 points on 20 shots. I realize he's probably the last problem we have right now and that he's the only reason we are even in some of those games, but this is how high the expectations for him have become and how much better he can be

Huh? He was great up until the last 6 mins.

IDK, he is definitely trying. He made a lot of nice passes in the game. He just kind of sucks in the PNR doing anything other than pulling up for 3.

Pretty sure I know of a guy and he’s coincidentally on the market. PM me for details.

Yeah, but idk, I'm just not hopeful. I read Detroit is floating Stanley Johnson on the trade market. Kind of worried no one will give Chicago a first, and they will just take Stanley Johnson, who is in his 3rd year of his rookie deal. Better than anything Utah can offer player wise (even tho he kind of sucks).

People underestimate the size issue for small players in the pnr. Unless the player is a natural playmaker and passer, it's usually hard to see the floor well when everybody on the floor is taller than you.

The problem is they will have to take on Jon Leuer's contract which goes to 2020 along with SJ to make the trade work. (or Boban? Not sure it works with Boban, it might send Detroit in the tax, I think)
 
OK, here's a question. Would you guys do Stanley Johnson for Thabo swap?

Good point. No one is taking Leuer's contract for Johnson (I really dont think he is any good, just terrible on offense).

Detroit is just so hard to work out any fake trades for. SVG is a terrible GM in free agency. No flexibility.
