Donovan Mitchell: All-NBA BEST Team

[Cement]

Pretty concerned about this guy tbh.

His athleticism is...if not gone, clearly on the decline.

Donovan plays really annoying sometimes, and today was one of them.

I’ve been saying this. Trade him while you still can. His ball iq is horrible, he’s short, can’t pass, has lost athleticism. He’s dame lillard just younger. We’ll be better in the long run with the pieces we fill without him. Get a wing, young player and a draft pick

Well I mean Dame Lillard was named one of the 75 best players ever so a younger Dame Lillard is still pretty good and worth keeping in a place like Cleveland.

There are definite weaknesses. And as has been the case since the sport was invented winning a championship with a guy his size as your best player is extremely, extremely difficult.

But now wouldn't be the time to trade him.


He has to get away from the quick 3s. This ain't last years team and this ain't the Jazz. There is real talent here right now that has to be allowed to join in on the offense. He was better about it earlier in the year but has regressed lately.

He’s like current dame. Not as quick or as explosive. Taking bad shots to make up for it. Never been a fan of Mitchell’s game, but at least when he was athletic enough, I could somewhat see a case for him to be treated like a franchise player, but this old man version of his game isn’t it. His shit selection, decisions to not play within the structure of the offense and ball hog isn’t worth it. We let him run the offense and do what he wants when he doesn’t warrant the keys. He has no rings or mvps or final appearances,

I dont know where Mitchell poops, but I hope it's on the toilet 100% of the time.

I don't think his athleticism is gone so much as he's playing to conserve his body more and so he can last the season and not get hurt in the playoffs again.


And I like that.


But his shot selection lately is bad. He's trying to shoot his way out of slumps at the detriment to the team. THe last two games Mobley had massive advantages and Donovan should have been deferring instead of trying to force it. Atkinson needs to be blunt with him about his poor shot selection tomorrow.

Mitchell is playing for spring. Even Allen admitted it. They all are.

There's takes, and there's this..

Peak Cavalier fandom is advocating trading their best player during a 2-3 streak after a 15-game win streak..

I was against the trade and still am. I don’t care what our regular season record is. We can win 75 games it won’t matter because he’s not showing up in playoffs. Him being bright eyed as a vet against the Knicks told me all I needed to know. I’ve said what I said and won’t continue. I don’t want to be negative or take away the enjoyment of this season from others so will tone it down and not continue.

Sometimes I think you are trolling and cant really have all of these cracy hot takes.

I was a troll when i said Watson trade would backfire too, because Watson never could read a defense. Not to derail this thread. I’m not always right. Was wrong about Luka and Trae young being good players.

And what I meant was when the Watson trade happened I said he sucked and was called a troll by everyone. I’ll be proven right about this trade as well. I do hope I’m wrong believe it or not. Want the Cavs to win it all.
