Time for the monthly Mitchell is destined to leave report.
I remember way back when it was Lebron that was a "done deal" going to the Knicks. History repeats itself. We actually had a rule on this board, "No Knicks trades" for a season or two.
I don’t remember LeBron to NY being a done deal at all. In fact that was a rumor that we thought were so far fetched that we regularly laughed at it every time we heard it. Then again, I thought he was for sure going to Chicago and then that ended up not only not happening, but they were never seriously considered either.
I don’t buy into the idea that Mitchell going to NY is something he’s deadset on. It’s all going to depend on how Cleveland does this upcoming season. If they manage to make the ECF with Mobley and Garland showing clear signs of improvement, I seriously doubt Mitchell will leave. But if Cleveland ends up losing in the first round again, regardless of whether or not it’s close… that’s a different story.
