Proof Donovan was The Issue

Orlando needs to do something about the shooting.

Ehh, had to 7 games and they will get whomped by Boston. It will age fine a week from now.

I know: the most important thing that happened in this series is that the Cavs lost two games on the road by a lot. Let's not forget the significance of that.

Actually think they need another primary type creator more than they need shooting. Franz has to do too much for what his optimal role would be imo. A Sexton type would work really well for them.

Magic definitely a team that needs to nail some moves to take the roster to the next level.

Probably need to trade assets for another all-star.

They could use both but man… they can get an advantage with their guys driving but the defense collapses and they are completely unafraid of getting punished for it.

I think they are a sneaky landing spot for Paul George. They can add him without moving any key roster piece and add him to those young guys with another year of experience and I think they are right there at the top of the east with the celtics. From George's perspective he gets to surround himself with some great young players not even in their prime so as he ages out they can step up to keep them a contender. The sixers when healthy are obviously intriguing but he may not want to tie himself to another injury prone superstar that can't be counted on to be healthy during the playoffs.

Well this thread aged very poorly

They just won a 4-3 first round series against a 47-win team who can't shoot worth crap in 2024. Not sure how any of this is vindicating.

Dude just had the second most points all time in G 6/7 in NBA history...

Proof Donovan was the issue... Wolves about the sweep the champs anchored by 4x (should easily be 5x) DPOY Gobert who was praised by his coach for changing the defensive identity of the entire team. While Cleveland can only think about how soon they can dump Donovan "Empty-stat" Mitchell.

I really wish we had just traded Mitchell and kept Gobert. Adding the haul we got from Cleveland could have propelled us to nearly be the wolves, with Gobert anchoring it all.

that kinda will happen when you take EVERY SHOT lol

Donovan is a dead end What a shame we didn't just cash in on him and see how that went with Rudy and whatever for a couple of years

What is amazing is that Gobert successfully anchored the defense and protected the paint in Denver while being two states away! That's what the GOAT DPOY does.
