Assuming as a neutral (Warriors fan) most neutrals are rooting for Magic?

He's drawing a lot of fouls to be fair. Their issue is they keep letting him get a head of steam. Need better ball denial or a quick double team.

Mitchell is really about to outscore his own team again but people will find some reason to rag on the dude.

What if Donovan Mitchell joined the Magic? He can leave and they'll have the cap space.

Franz needs to either become a better shooter or learn how to get by his man. Strange year for Franz as he's been struggling from 3 all year.

A lot of Knicks fans want a Brunson/Mitchell backcourt, but if the Garland/Mitchell backcourt is anything to go off of, they'd just take turns trying to score and stuff, and wouldn't play off eachother well. So I don't know that I want it. Mitchell would need to be better as an off ball scorer and he hasn't shown that with Garland.

Obviously just having a talented player like Mitchell who can get hot at any time like Brunson can would be great, I just don't think that duo would be the best player you could put next to Brunson.

If he can't hit the 3 consistently Barnes is just a way better player
