If you compare Don and Lauri stats this season (eliza huge did a few days ago) you will fnd that they are actually very similar with Markennan actually coming out on top imo. Plus he is cheaper.
Pretty crazy to think we may have got the better player in that trade PLUS other rotational players (ochai and sexton might even be starters some day) PLUS 3 picks PLUS multiple pick swaps.
Im sure cleveland is happy to have donovan but we killed it in that trade. Im cery confident that in 3 years that trade will look very very good for the jazz and we will have no regrets while the cavs fans will. Especially if he leaves for new york or something.
The rudy trade is looking like one of the most lopsided trades in nba history.

so far so good. What happens from now will be fascinating. Will DA now be super cautious with his assest and team building like in Boston or will he now really blow it up to bottom out the second half of the season, make trades to improve .. fun times

Cleveland trade is a win for both teams. I think there's a contigency here who don't want to admit it, but Mitchell has balled out this year. He seems to have taken that last step to superstardom, and he's playing like the player I always knew he could be. I think they are going to be very good for the next few seasons, with Mitchell leading them. Maybe they can get Lebron back for a last dance after the Lakers finally collapse after this season.
The Minnesota trade was a disaster--for Minnesota. They had all these assets and a young star in Ant, and they totally bungled their chance. When you make that big trade, it's so important you get it right, or you're cooked. It's sort of like how we got it wrong with Conley--we had one shot, the assets for one big trade, and we whiffed. But it's a much more extreme version. Brought the wrong guy in, and overpaid for him. Vastly overpaid for him. Like, i can't imagine what the other offers for Rudy looked like, but I guarantee they were not even close to that. How Ainge got them to bite so hard... the man might be the Devil himself. And they're not going to be able to trade his contract. It's going to be a major albatross by the end of it. It'll probably cause a regime change in Minnesota and will go down as an all-time fleece.
