    He's starting to be a problem everywhere he goes, crazy thing is within the next 2-3 years Brooklyn and Philly may be behind Houston due to trading for Harden... Brooklyn is likely rebuilding sometime in the near future and if Philly loses Embiid they will also be in rebuild mode, all while Green and Chet are both all stars.. Harden leaving was a blessing in disguise.

    I’m so tired of people wanting Donavan Mitchell…. Is Mitchell worth a max contract? Probably. The problem is that once you hit max contract lvl there is a huge disparity between one player and the next. I can’t think of many shooting guards who expect max money lower on the totem pole than Mitchell. Is he as good as Devin Booker at the same price? No way. So what happens? The suns have a much better player on the same contract the rockets would have Mitchell on. Go through all max players on every team and you’ll see that Mitchell is one of the worst max contract players. I also believe people severely undervalue Rudy Gobert. He’s the reason the Jazz are good. Replace mitchel with any other max guard and maybe they’d actually get over the hump for once. Mitchell has proven nothing and we want to invest max money in a guy who can’t get it done as a second best player. Hard pass on Mitchell it’s a mistake. Championship teams allocate max money to the crem de la crem because anything less won’t get it done. Let’s not be the Utah Jazz. They have no way of getting better because all of their money outside of Gobert is spent on sub par talent. If you want to give a max contract to an undersized shooting guard who will likely never be a true superstar and put him next to our own shooting guard who very well could be a superstar, be my guest.

    Harden has demanded a trade to the Chicago Sky to finally win a championship.

    I'm pretty sure Mitchell is gone, even if they get past Dallas they ain't doing nothing with Gobert tied to that team. He gone.

    It'll be interesting to see how that happens as Utah could be stubborn and not trade him or try to convince him to stay but if they trade him that's going to be one hell of a bidding war.

    Does a team like Portland trade their assets for him? Teaming up with Dame? Or even a team like Memphis or Dallas? Not sure what Dallas has though...Pelicans? Ingram for Mitchell?

    East I could see the Hawks making a push for him, the Knicks of course, or low-key the Raptors have some nice players and a core of Barnes/Mitchell could be fun...Hornets?

    Either way I think he gone. Has to know there ain't much for him there. They could try trading Gobert but good luck with that.

    There's no way I can see Zion "bolt" to a team. Can not even see him bolt to endless shrimp night at Red Lobster.

    Maybe "saunter" is the better word.

    not a superstar, but Donovan Mitchell trade request coming soon

    Mavs would beat Utah in 5 with Luka healthy

    None that are of any interest to me.

    I know the Rockets want to find a trade for a star with the assets they have but I don't see the right guy right now.

    I hope they don't lose patience.

    Do not want Mitchell

    Mitchell is a good player but far from a superstar. No reason for the rockets to go after him

    Never say Never with Lebron because he doesn't do bad teams. If Golden St. was willing to trade and pay for him, hell he'd do it.
