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.

The starting lineup is set. If you want to replace anyone you have to upgrade them. To upgrade even "lesser" players like Herb, you still pretty much need a Star level player that does the same things.

You don't replace Herb with Mitchell, you replace him with Kawhi. JV would be replaced with KAT. But then you get into cap and tax issues. It's just really hard to find upgrades for this team via trade or FA.

How would the salaries not match? Graham and Nance make over 20M combined. Throw in Temple and that is 25M+. Mitchell is scheduled to make 30M. It's not an obstacle to match salaries over the summer.

BTW, if we kept those two picks, it would be more expensive. Both of those picks would make around 10M a year. I don't think it counts in the trade. But the trade would save us money.

Ok. That isn't that big of a deal to me. I think he is arguably the best SG in the league. SG is our biggest hole. We can't get Booker or Luka. Harden, Lillard and Beal are damaged goods to me (way more expensive). So I was looking for a guard to match with McCollum. SGA and Murray are close. But I thought that Mitchell is the better fit.

Do you not believe that we could upgrade at SG? No one wants to play McCollum at SG. We need another shooter that can help spread the floor. It's the best spot to add value.
