    He look like he’s regressed. Don’t want to give up our #3 or Jalen for him.

    I don’t know if it’s regression as much as playing with Mitchell. If you give up a player, it’s going to be FVV. And you’ll have to give up something else because he’s signed for four more years. But I’d do it in a heartbeat.

    Rockets mentioned as a team in pursuit of Mitchell. I hope that's not the case, but if talks could lead to Garland, I'm all for it.

    Garland is not worth 40m a year, neither is Mitchell. If those are our only choices we should just stand pat and take sheppard or Dillinger.

    5 Most Likely Donovan Mitchell Trade Destinations

    4. Houston Rockets
    If the Rockets were truly interested in Donovan Mitchell, they could send the Cavs the best offer possible. Houston is loaded with young talent and draft picks and Cleveland can take its pick in trade negotiations.

    Mitchell would be an intriguing fit in Houston. Fred VanVleet is the type of off-ball point guard, who could thrive next to Donovan Mitchell; while taking on the tough defensive assignments on the other end.

    The Rockets are already a solid team that took a major step this season under Ime Udoka. Mitchell at age 27 fits their timeline as he could be part of that core for the next five years while in his prime. With Mitchell in the starting lineup, the Rockets would immediately be a playoff team as soon as next season.

    The main piece the Rockets have to offer Cleveland is Jalen Green. Since Mitchell would be directly replacing Green, the Rockets would presumably be open to trading him, albeit reluctantly. The 22-year-old shooting guard has a ton of athleticism and scoring punch but hasn't been able to put it all together yet. The former second-overall pick might be the young asset with the most upside the Cavs could get in a potential Mitchell trade.

    Add another young player like Tari Eason and a first-round pick or two, and the Rockets might have the offer to beat in the Mitchell sweepstakes.

    If Sheppard or Dillinger end up getting you 21 points and 8 assists, they’re going to cost you $40m.

    in 4 or 5 years. Ask yourself what is the net upgrade over FVV and remember that Garland is locked in at 4 years, where FVV gives you the flexibility to trade or cut bait if a better option comes along. Garland is definitely overpaid for what he brings to the table in 2025.

    Cem Yolbulan better run for cover. You cannot say Jalen Green hasn’t put it all together around here.

    Aren't half the posts here of people jubilantly wanting to trade Green?


    And who defends Green claims "he put it all together". Why play victim? It's a pathetic look.

    Mitchell makes us better, Green would get what he wants there a team to try to lead.

    Good trade.

    if I’m the Cavs, I would take Green, Tari, and 2 picks for Mitchell in a heartbeat and hope Green eventually finds a pulse moving forward with a core of Garland, Green, Mobley, and Eason

    That seems somewhat close to this report.

    Yep, trade Green and future 1sts for Mitchell. Keep the 3rd pick this draft and draft Clingan.

    Mitchell is what Green can be best case scenario.
