I like Mitchell, but to get him you'd give up depth and length. He's a top 5 guard, but I'd disagree he's a fringe top 5 player. He's in the higher end of the second tier of stars

Not in the trade that I proposed or inquired. It's the 3 picks and 2 players (they could add in Temple to make the money work).

Starting 5
McCollum, Mitchell, Ingram, Zion, Val

Bench
Alvarado, Lewis, Murphy, Jones, Hayes, Hernangomez, plus we would still have exceptions.

It could work, in the miniscule world where we would get the first two picks. I just don't know if that is enough or too much to get Mitchell. I don't like star chasing. But that is a Championship level team and would be the best starting 5 in the league. Plus, a really good bench..

Dude stop playing 2k that line-up would be so bad defensively that I don't even want to picture it. And on offense there is not enough shots to go around. Plus there's no way we could afford this.

And I can't get over you calling Mitchell a borderline top 5 player dude is borderline top 15 and that is being really generous.

That’s 4 guys that shoot the ball 18-20 per game. NBA teams take around 85 shots a game. I think Mitchell is great but another high volume offensive player to add to Zion CJ and Ingram probably isn’t what we need. It’s partly why Herb is perfect for us going forward.
