    You mean like how Banchero refused to work out for the Magic?

    Mobley has a sky high ceiling even maybe generstional ceiling defensively but right now Allen is the defensive soul on the Cavs not Mobley.

    Offensively he isnt "sacrificing" anything rather his 2 all star guards are covering for his weaknesses similar to Rondo on Celts or Draymond on GSW. Why you turning it around and making it seem like Mobley is the one being magnanimous letting Mitchell and Garland score?

    How come when a good offensive big man like Kevin Love is playing he didnt need to sacrifice anything?

    ESPN's Jonathan Givony said Banchero has been unwilling to work out for Orlando because he doesn't believe he has a realistic chance of being selected by the team.

    How is that even close to the same situation? Mobley didn't want to go to Houston because of the culture. Mobley's dad didn't even allow him to work out for Houston because of KPJ. His dad is an assistant coach at USC and was there during KPJ's suspension.

    Did you talk to Mobley personally? Mobley didnt work out for Houston for the exact same reason, they knew Rox were gonna pick Green cuz the owner had Green and JC flying in his jet.

    Yeah ok, Mobley hates KPJ so much they were only seen hugging after the game :rolleyes:

    Culture??? You only started following the NBA last season or what? You realize Cavaliers have been among the worst teams in the league since forever right? The only success they've had is with Lebron, and otherwise they've always been in the top lotto year after year? They've had the most high profile busts I know, and their owner famously feuded with Lebron and wrote a public letter in comic sans font.

    You telling me Mobley's dad would rather put Evan in that kind of culture than have him play with KPJ? The kicker is the Cavs ARE THE ONES WHO DRAFTED KPJ. Cavs traded 4 2nd rounders to get him despite his history of stealing laptops. You are a true delulu if you believe that story. If Mobley landed on a winning team, ok. But the Cavs? For culture? Lmao wut bruh?

    Btw Mobley also didnt work out for the Pistons. So Mobley's dad also hated detroit and thinks Clevelands culture is superior?

    It pains to admit - but Mobley is better than Green and a much harder piece to find.

    Scoring oriented guards who aren't strong at distributing and don't defend much - not that hard to find.

    7 foot springy swiss army knife/DPOY caliber defender, who can score inside, not easy to find.

    You have to draft those guys - oops.
