Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

The narrative being sold by Woj is telling you Rose thought he had more time and was ****ing around trying to get a discount. Now he's like "I definitely offered stuff in July way better than what Cavs did... even though none of the story is true at all."

He "offered" Mitchell Robinson as part of that supposed monster offer. Just don't look too deep into it... like... the fact that Mitchell Robinson was an unrestricted free agent at the time. How do you offer Mitchell Robinson Leon? Please enlighten us!

This is all spin trying to save face now so he can say "I offered a fair deal and it was even better than the final Cavs deal and they didn't want it". BS!

Oh it was called out early. Like if you gonna tell stories go ahead and tell ones that can't be debunked in 30 seconds. Its hilarious that it tries to save face but makes him look worse. Why put your players names out again.

Will be hilarious when NY makes a panic trade for Dame or Beal at some point.

Yep. Every single young player was in the media in variety of offers he supposedly offered for Mitchell. ALL OF THEM. Every single one of them. I wonder how good they all feel about it.

I’m a little surprised the Cavs traded Markannen instead of Okoro. I know he has some upside still but Okoro hasn’t been very good.

Someone got to defend stars on that team. You want Lauri Markannen being your main defender for Jayson Tatum/Jaylen Brown/ Jimmy Butler/Kevin Durant/ETC?

Also had to make money work.

He had to play out of position. He definitely isnt a negative IMO.

Now he can play next to Vanderbilt, a guy that he makes sense next to as a PF.

He's a ~15 PER (league average) player making nearly twice the MLE. I actually like him, I'm just saying I think his contributions relative to his salary make his deal slightly negative. You are also correct about Markkanen's position issue (I also alluded to it).

Probably more to the point, the Cavs were looking for some space from the tax as well and are taking on a nearly $40 million annual contract. But sending Gay or NAW would've made the deal close to even (rather than the Jazz taking on an additional 6.5 million this year) which would've been nice.

I get it for sure but money would have worked with Okoro/Windler as well.

Played a league game once 4 on 5 against a good team… me and another were on fire - think we both had like 5 threes in the first half. We were just chucking too because basically being double teamed… we’re up 10 at half… then our fifth came and we ended up losing… which was kind of hilarious.

Whenever I am on the 4 side, I am smoking hot. I remember hitting 8 straight threes in without missing and finished the game with like 12 threes. But whenever I am on the 5 side, I play like the soul is sucked out of me.
