If only he had a reliable jump hook or a fallaway. I'm not complaining because I'm sure he'll develop a better offensive game in time.

I addition, when he develops into a 35% 3 point shooter this team becomes unguardable. Imagine Allen sets the high screen for either DG or DM - what would the defense do if Mobley is a reliable shooter at the 3 pt line along with another shooter at the 3 (LeVert, Cedi, Wade) and the other guard who wasn’t part of the original action? 3 good shooters, surrounding an elite dunker and 2 elite driver/shot-makers/creators. Good luck stopping that. Then, when Allen needs a rest, you put Mobley to work as the screen setter and post presence.

I said this several times! Koby should open up his wallet and pay the Dream a consulting fee to work with Mobley in the off season.

Someone posted that Hakeem has an exclusive rights deal with Houston which sucks.
I’d still like to see Mobley spend time with KG.

Bill Simmons just did a podcast where he said he’d like to see him spend some time in Boston.

KG is a good option as well!

He is even ahead of schedule in my opinion offensively. His drive from where it was a year ago is 200% better, jump hooks, fade away, all falling at around 45% or so, 3-pointer looking better, just needs to fall.

Defensively he is already an 8 out 10 on the Hakeem scale, lol

Not sure I want this. Mobley is low key very competitive and KG treats everything like the final two minutes of an NBA finals game 7 while down 1. Might end up punching each other.

Donovan Mitchell is a top 10 NBA player.

Naw

Giannis, curry, luka, Tatum, Jokic, embiid, ja, Shai, kd, LeBron. Could prob come up with a few others. Mitchell is way too offensive heavy for my liking. When he’s off, doesn’t affect The game in any other ways.

Shai isn’t above Mitchell and this year I don’t see Curry being ahead of him either. Curry has struggled all year.

I'd rather have Mitchell than Shai or Morant for sure. If we're talking about this regular season, there's no comparison between Donovan and LeBron either.

Ok so if you put any of those three in Mitchell place you’d feel more confident this playoffs? I’d rather have LeBron, morant, but would rather have Mitchell than shai, but haven’t seen enough, but what I’ve seen I’d rather have Mitchell

If LeBron swapped places with Mitchell I don't think there's any shot in hell the Cavs are currently the 4 seed in the East, so no, I wouldn't do that.

If Mitchell and Morant swapped places right now, I'd be far less confident in the Cavs.
