Did he say he didn't want to be here?
Correction, JC will score 30 !so he took 34 shots, 15 3s? Jordan Clarkson you can do this!!!
(maybe he score 20pts)
Nah, I’m happy with where Markkanen is heading.
Also like his defensive upside much more.
Oh and then there’s the 3 first round picks as well.
He didn’t say it so I’m thankful for that, but the tea leaves seem to suggest he wanted out. But I guess that’s not something anyone can say for sure.Did he say he didn't want to be here?
I’m jealous of the fact you can be happy for him. I wish I could, but all I can think about is the fact that he’s having a year ten times better than he ever had with us, hell even his defense and FG % is 10 times better. You’re just a better person than meI'm very happy for him. Not surprised either. With a coach that sets up a system that fully supports him and makes up for his defensive lapses he is capable of true greatness. Too bad that wasn't Quin. And too bad he stated he never tried on defense. Oh well. Again, I'm very happy for him and very impressed.
Also why are you in the Utah Jazz forum?That’s nice. Glad he’s gone. Also, why is this in the Utah Jazz forum?
Are you stat picking for a Cavs player? Why are you in Jazz forums?To be fair, this season, Don has a +0.7 DBPM while Laurie’s is -1.0.
Don played with the GOAT defensive monster last year and still had negative defensive metrics across the board. Just pointing out that improvement can be made with the right scheme. Having a stick up your *** about Don became the trendy thing to do on this site, I get it. But you can move past that and appreciate strides he’s making.Are you stat picking for a Cavs player?

Also, Don plays with Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley for crying out loud. Its actually pretty incredible that Lauri has +3.3 total BPM against Dons +3.6... while the other is surrounded by very mediocre players in a 19-20 team while the other is surrounded by very good players in a 24-14 team.
Let me try your thing also... To be fair, Lauri has overall defensive RAPTOR of +0.3 while Donovan has -0.8. Don on/off defensive RAPTOR is -1.7 while Lauri is +4.1.
I dont disagree with you for the last parts. Nor do I disagree with you about him playing better defense this year. Definitely puts more effort in.Don played with the GOAT defensive monster last year and still had negative defensive metrics across the board.

Not a single GM would take Lauri over DM. Would’ve loved if we could have both of them.
The game before this he had 15 on 16 shots. Like, amazing game, historic game….Devin Booker has done this too…until Don wins the Cavs a championship and/or doesn’t leave them….I mean truth is he’s the same old Donovan. Great talent, capable of going off in a night in a big way, but still has his 20 points on 25 shots nights, and comes with lots of baggage and selfish leadership at the end of the end.I dont disagree with you for the last parts.

Also FYI, I'm not hating Don. In my mind I'm trying to act as a balancing voice with everyone going crazy over 1 game. If I'm wrong and he truely has arrived to the superstar level, then I'm just "in denial and negotiating with the loss of a true superstar". I dont really hate him though. Just bringing people down to earth.
