Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

From Woj

After the New York Knicks temporarily walked away on talks Monday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers aggressively pursued and acquired three-time All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell in a trade with the Utah Jazz on Thursday, sources told ESPN.


Rose you dumb bastard your little power play ended up sending the Cavs to us

You assume that Don's motivations were that he just wants to win, yo.

If he wanted to go to the Knicks, then I intensely question that advertised motivation.

We watched him hunt for highlights as much as he played good fundamental basketball and as far as I'm concerned, he just as likely purposefully wrecked this team to get traded as played in earnest.

I don't think he wants to be in Cleveland (I sure as hell wouldn't), I think that kind of **** matters to him, and I'm happy he's probably frustrated right now.

Don, like the rest of us, probably thought the Knicks were a shoe in so it wouldnt really make sense for him to speak out against it or in favor of another destination.

I think Don is cool with whatever really and is just looking forward to free agency

This is my thinking as well. We might be the deepest team in the nba now with quality role players. We still need to gut this roster quite a bit to guarantee a top 5 pick.

This really isn't a problem. Take it from OKC, or what Portland did last year. If you want to lose you'll find a way to lose. Sit veterans and give young players "a chance", rest players, shut players down mid-season due to "injuries" etc...

This. I am also concerned that we have become just good enough to put us firmly in the late lottery. We might need a miracle or 2 to replace the talent we just shipped out.

There is no question that we will need a miracle to replace the talent we shipped out.

Knicks fans tears are the best especially after ALL that **** they’ve been talking for weeks.

It will be even better if New York loses a few picks for tampering.

Do it. **** them. For real.

Like, this isn't just some random vitriol. They really tried to **** us and they deserve consequences for that.

Wow, come to find out the hold up was top-5 protections on a 1st from the Knicks side. This just keeps getting better and better.
