    At least Donovan will not have to worry about playing defense since he has two elite defensive bigs that have his back.

    East is looking deep and exciting. Quite a few stacked teams. Same for the West with Gobert trade, Clippers getting Kawhi back/adding Wall and Pels getting Zion back. Basically all the play in teams from last year have vastly improved. Gonna be a fun year.

    Trade makes sense for both parties. Let's hope it squeezes the Nets out of the top 8 lol.

    Good trade for both

    Cavs have a pretty well balanced team and Utah gets a legit full rebuild

    Also, ATL and Cavs offseason is good for our Nets pick swap... likely won't be better than our pick but anytime you can potentially increase lottery odds that's good

    Except Mobley is much more capable of defending on the perimeter than Gobert. He's not going to become a playoff liability in the upcoming years.

    Stop hyping this bum up. They got 3 first round picks that will be 15 to 30 range

    Cleveland can hide Mitchell on defence with Allen and Mobley, this is a great trade

    Cavs gave up 5 unprotected picks, but they have a legit team now

    Garland
    Mitchell
    ?
    Mobley
    Allen

    Cavs were 35-21 at 1 point last season, a 51 win pace, and could see improvement from Garland and Mobley while adding Mitchell who is significantly better than a Levert or Sexton

    that backcourt is sus defensively, but they have Mobley and Allen in the frontcourt
