Which my point is the blueprint is there for the pairing to succeed, as well as Garland to succeed without Mitchell on the court.. And that's all with the ups and downs of this year, and the criticism of this coaching staff..22-23
Mitchell/Garland = 8.0
Garland Off:
Mitchell/LeVert = 5.9
Mitchell/Okoro = 4.4
Mitchell Off:
Garland/LeVert = 7.9
Garland/Okoro = 8.2
23-24
Mitchell/Garland = 6.0
Garland Off:
Mitchell/LeVert = 8.6
Mitchell/Okoro = 7.1
Mitchell/Strus = 10.2
Mitchell/Merrill = 13.1
Mitchell Off:
Garland/LeVert = 4.7
Garland/Okoro = 0.4
Garland/Strus = 5.6
Garland/Merrill = -5.0
Garland was slightly better in those guard pairings in 2022-23 compared to Mitchell, and significantly worse in 23-24.
You change out the coach, and accessory players as needed before you change out the core talent..
If Brooklyn comes along and offers Mikal Bridges then sure you have that discussion.. But if we're talking about Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell, there's nothing pointing to that making this situation better, or past data saying it's worth forgoing what a new coaching staff can do for this team...
