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

Mitchell and Curry stats were pretty similar, but it ain’t close. Lmao

Curry scored 34 per in the finals. Mitchell got his *** kicked by Brunson and lost to Dallas. C'mon bro.

Mitchell nor CJ have been past the second round. Mitchell **** 20% from 3 in the playoffs. To compare that to an all time great in Curry is embarrassing and insulting to sports. You're better than this.

Mitchell is built like a fireplug. He really isn't comparable to McCollum or Sexton. There are things he can do that they just will never have the body for. Frustratingly he should have the ability to play stouter defense should he so choose. . .

There’s a word that fits you like a glove, that’s idiot.

And there's a reason why you can't make a counter argument. But I'm all ears, what does DM do better than CJ? Assist? No. Rebound? No. Shoot? No. Shoot 3's? No. Defend? Probably not.

Donovan is a little more efficient and has more use. He's slightly better.

Has nothing to do with stats and everything to do with how you elevate your team.

Neither has been past the 2nd round. Don couldn't even elevate his team past Dallas missing Luka half the time. If he played better we win. It's not all on him but if we're talking elevation then he failed. Let's not even talk about getting an 8 second violation at the most crucial time that we had the game in control. Up 3-1 yet fails miserable to win a single game.

Which is why we broke up the team- we KNOW he's capable of that elevation, we've all seen it, but for whatever reason, he isn't bringing it to the team as constituted. The reason he was worth the bag is that other teams saw those times when he did bring it, and think the new environment will be conducive to it. I think we all know that is possible, and that he probably wasn't going to be that guy for us, so time to trade him to one of the teams that think they can.

Everyone here is talking past each other- Don is CAPABLE of being better, by far, than those other players, he's gone supernova way beyond what they've shown- but so much of bringing out that level is based on intangibles like confidence, motivation, energy and working well with teammates. He isn't a guy like Jordan or Kobe that is so physically dominant and intrinsically talented that he's going to show that all the time in all scenarios- he's borderline great and needs all the cogs going right to cross that border.

CJ doesn't ever cross that border, unless he gets a tourist visa.

This is exactly his problem, he picks and chooses when he turns it on or off and lets his emotions generate apathy on the court rather than aggression. He will struggle to ever lead a team far if he isn't able to sustain his effort on the court, and he is already kind of creating that as a pattern of behavior. I think he will go down as the guy that could blast 50 points in multiple playoff games, but that couldn't win a series when it was on the line.
