You honestly think Donovan's career arc will mirror Steph's career arc in years six and beyond? Steph is the greatest shooter ever (EASILY), one of the greatest guards ever, and revolutionized the NBA over the past ten years. Donovan is an excellent, All-Star caliber basketball player. Stephen...

Not to mention - it's multiple 40% changes at a top 3 picks plus a **** ton of other draft assets. Striking gold in the draft 1-3 times over the next 5-7 years is almost a certainty with the amount of high quality picks we'd likely have.

Agreed. Aside from Derek Fisher, IMO anyone who sticks in the league as long as these guys have are professionals. They may not be happy but recognize they're getting paid millions under terms of their contract to play basketball, so they need to play basketball. Not saying he'd be happy about...

Trading for Jaylen Brown would be idiotic. UFA after '23-'24 and zero chance he re-signs.

Still a communist. Sorry, I don't make the rules...

Haven't read the last 50 pages because it's a train wreck, but if you don't like french fries and/or don't like In-N-Out, you are by definition a communist.

IMO, terrible deal for Utah and Sacramento. We need more picks or Fox/Murray, and Lakers don't shed nearly enough to get off of Russ + nab Fox in the process. Very interesting potential trio of trade partners, though. The Kings have a ton of good looking assets.

Donovan in Sacramento would be flipping hilarious.

Zero percent chance of Jaylen Brown. Maybe a negative chance.

OK this is hilarious, LOL

Reply If this was better than what the Knicks had on the table I'd do it. Some decent young players in that group and the 2027 pick is probably good once Donovan leaves Cleveland. Would prefer 2026 and 2028 pick swaps though.

I'm a personal fan of "metric **** ton"

I'm guessing Shams is in the know but he's basically batting 1.000 - don't think I've ever seen him report anything as "done" before it's actually, 100% done. He's just the first to do it.

The upside of 2023 picks is that you can always flip them for future picks. If we end up with a '23 surplus, teams wanting to get into the first round will be happy to trade favorable 2024/2025 picks for whichever ones we don't want to execute. Timing will always be important. A pick today in...

That was still better defense than he played all season.

Mitchell preferring to go to Miami surprises me zero percent. Seems pretty obvious TBH. Fortunately I think Mitchell's preferred destination matters zero, outside of fairly nuanced ways (i.e., "preferred" team offering better package knowing Mitchell will likely re-sign).

Gonna be honest, literally never heard of this guy.

If we all just ignore him, he'll go away. People who engage in the absurd back and forth dialogue aren't helping IMO.

IMO, the urgency for moving him this offseason is two-fold: 1) Quality of next year's draft. Part of the calculus in the return on Donovan is what our own pick could be work next year. Hypothetically, picking #4 (no Donovan) vs. #14 (with Donovan) is a big deal in a loaded draft. 2) Why delay...
