You guys think when Mitchell is traded to the Knicks Leon will actually have a press conference and speak to the media?

Joe Harris with good defense isn't anywhere near an ASCP
I don't see that comparison much.
Life on earth is a whole, yet it expresses itself in unique time-bound bodies, microscopic or visible, plant or animal, extinct or living. So there can be no one place to be. There can be no one way to be, no one way to practice, no one way to learn, no one way to love, no one way to grow or to heal, no one way to live, no one way to feel, no one thing to know or be known. The particulars count!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets just trade C.Reddish and a protected 1st round pick to Toronto For OG.

Is this the same guy we are talking about?
Probably the most appealing part of Mitchell’s game lies on the defensive end … By the end of his second year at Louisville, he established himself as a multi-positional stopper who a coach can put on point guards, shooting guards and even some small forwards … Mitchell has outstanding physical tools to be a lockdown defender, with his elite length, strong frame and quick feet … Mitchell is also a highly competitive guy who is willing to pressure full court, dive to the floor for loose balls, and consistently make things difficult for opposing players … Mitchell has terrific instincts off the ball, as shown by his 2.6 steals per-40) … Despite being short for the average two-guard, his 6’10” wingspan is difficult for opposing guards to shoot over, and he does an exemplary job of using his quickness and strength to stay in front of his man …

He was a plus defender in college. He still has that ability people underestimate how much playing defense is really a mental thing when you have the physical abilities.

You absolutely are forgiven it is why Christ died on the Cross for us. To remove sin entirely from us so he could place his Holy Spirit within us so we could be born not of man but of God!!!!!!!

Only fools don't change their mind.
Those like you who don't even comprehend the concept, belong to an entirely different category.
You don't learn from your mistakes, because you're too narcissistic to see them or to admit that you were wrong, and that's why all these years later you think the same way, you still write like a teenager, and your takes are still trash.
Nah you pathetic dimwit. It proved my point.
At that time, RJ was doing well and b/c you’re a prisoner of the moment, you were praising RJ. And the second he isn’t, you write paragraph after mind numbing paragraph jumping to irrational conclusions. Again.
Casual fans like you love to yap and pretend they know what they're talking about. They cling to the stats they see basketball heads bring up and ignore context. They jump all over the map on a player based on the current event.
Then when their foolishness is shown, they have to lie about what others have said b/c they never fostered them ability to have an original basketball thought. Forever unarmed in a battle of wits.
You said I said I wouldn’t trade Frank and Knox for AD. I called you out on your lie and you pretended it was a question not an accusation.
As always with casuals, it was projection.Chanel Bomber wrote:I usually agree with you but I have to disagree with you here.
Personally I don't trade RJ for Dame.
It's highly unlikely RJ ever reaches Dame's level as a basketball player. I'm fully aware of that.
But there's something to be said for building with a homegrown player who plays hard, who values hard work and who's improving exponentially as a 20 year-old. RJ is a culture changer and he's been a major contributor in turning the Knicks franchise around (alongside Rose, Thibs and Randle). There's no doubt in my mind that RJ will not stop grinding until he becomes an All-Star.
RJ is a full decade younger than Dame. You trade for Dame and what do you get? A four year window of something that's not guaranteed at all? He has some decent teammates in Portland and outside of that 2018-19 season he hasn't exactly carried them very far. I love Lillard, but he's in the latter years of his prime, and he's not guaranteeing you anything. I'm not trading a future All-Star who's 10 years younger than him for this level of uncertainty.
Wiseman is completely different imo. He has sunk the Warriors whenever he was on the floor this year, and his skill set can be more easily replaced as a big man than a switchable wing who can defend, rebound, pass and score, although RJ still needs to improve his scoring efficiency. But his upside is significantly higher than Wiseman's in today's NBA, as is his floor, considering Wiseman is having trouble defending at the position that most requires defense.
If the Knicks trade RJ for a 30-year-old star, I bet they'll regret it for the next decade.
