Hey All,
Landing Spots for Donovan Mitchell If Cavs Trade Star Guard During NBA Offseason
Lakers actually have a reasonable shot, I'd probably put MIA has the favorite IF they would include Jaquez, but if not, not sold the NY teams have enough to really make things work for the Cavs outside of some picks
Mitchell will largely decide his destination provided the target team has a credible set of assets to offer in return. For the first time since the Davis deal, the Lakers have that type of package, even if in a vacuum it appears other teams have a more attractive one. _________________ Austin Reaves keeps his game tight, like Kobe Bryant on game night.

Ugh. DLO/Reaves and Rui for Mitchell is a tough one. That's how you know it is a fair trade.
Whether it is DLO or Reaves. Mitchell is an upgrade. So I have no problem with that part.
Rui has always had good size, and now he is a very efficient scorer on top of that.
If he shows up big for us this postseason. By keeping his shooting splits and upping his energy on defensive and the glass. It would be tough to part ways. Even for a stud like Mitchell. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

Markannen, Sexton, three first rounders, and two swaps for Mitchell was such a bad deal for the Cavs, especially now that they may have to trade him for pennies on the dollar. Should have just tanked another year and stuck with a core of Garland, Mobley, Markannen, and Jarrett Allen. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

It may not be wise to trade for Mitchell. Remember, he's from Westchester County, so he may just leave next summer as a free agent and join the Knicks.
I'd rather look into trading for Dejounte Murray again. And please no Trae Young. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers

I don’t think they’d trade for him without securing an extension. Mitchell would be a good fit since he plays defense(highest rated defense player this year), and has isolation skills we need, but I am not going to give up all of our assets for him. I would give them the picks,
Mitchell and AD is also a good duo post lebron.
I am not high on Murray
if Lakers will not win a ring this season and retain Ham next season, I think Bron should request a trade to go back to the Cavs. Lebron and Spida trade.
Does Donovan really effect winning as much as ya'll think he does, or is it another Bradley Beal situation? _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Seems like a baseless question. _________________ It was reminiscent of one of those Most Interesting Man in the World advertisements: "I don't always shoot 6-for-28 from the field, but when I do, I become the youngest player in league history to score 28,000 career points."

3rd in the East, 15 games above .500 with Spida' as their best player. Not to mention those Utah Jazz from a couple of seasons ago that were considered contenders and one season had the best record in the league.
Don't remember Beal ever leading a team to that level of success.

Lol, so true, Rui is still scratching the surface, held back by Bron playing the 4 like Kuzma was but we debate in our head cause it’s fair, Spyda is an elite scorer who’s proved it in the playoff _________________ “The main goal for the Lakers is to win a championship. All I care about, all we care about, is to raise another banner in the rafters.“
I'd tend to hold Rui out of any deal for a guard and would prefer to trade both DLo and Reaves, especially if that guard coming back is mostly a one-way player. Rui's defense can be terrible in certain situations, but at least he's a big body and a rebounding threat.
I'd be willing to include Vando. Something like Reaves + Vando + Vincent + picks.

DLo-Spyda-Rui-Bron-AD
Dinwiddie-Max-Cam-Wood-Hayes
Bronny-Maxwell-Castleton
That’s a hell of a starting 5, upgrading from AR to Spyda _________________ “The main goal for the Lakers is to win a championship. All I care about, all we care about, is to raise another banner in the rafters.“

I'd still prefer using our picks for two-way starter-level players rather than one star level offensive player. Guys I'd target:
Trade:
Poeltl
Mikal Bridges
Caruso
FA:
CP3 (if losing guard depth and he's on a min)
Mason Plumlee
Daniele Theis
I think this team needs that "Aaron Gordon" upgrade to really compete with the top tier of contenders, as well as strong backup big play.

Brooklyn reportedly won't trade Mikal. But Caruso or Poeltl for picks isn't crazy.
Aaron Gordon was perfect for Denver cause he is everything Jokic isn't. An athletic, non-ball-dominant, rim finisher, who can switch and guard multiple positions.
Tough imagining what that perfect fit would be for us.
I guess a top tier iso and pick and roll guard. Mitchell kind of fits the definition. Its just, he doesn't give a crap about defense. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”
Mitchell would make this an elite roster in terms of talent. The only player you could realistically get that would move Bron to a 2nd option. You'd go from having D'lo as your 3rd option to having Anthony Davis in that spot. Keep 1 of Reaves/Rui out the deal and you still have all the depth you need. I think it's the right basketball move even if you were to win a championship with D'lo this season. Chemistry/continuity would be a question mark but no real indication that it should be an issue.
Mitchell
Christie
Vando
LeBron
AD
Vincent
Reaves
Lewis
Wood

We need a legit 2nd star next to AD, that way LBJ can take a back seat. Vincent/JHS/Bronny would be a decent rotation at PG with a DM/LBJ/AD lineup. _________________
