There's no guarantee he even comes back this upcoming season. It's already July and it still hasn't even been one month since he tore his ACL. It's not like he tore it in December. He tore it in June. He might actually miss the entire season next year. I hope he comes back, but you can't guarantee he does. And even if he does, he's just going to miss like 10 months of professional basketball and come back just like he was before his injury? That's asking an awful lot. He's a human being, not a superhero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team should easily be able to win a first round series against a lower seed, but if they get matched up with a fully healthy Clippers, Lakers or GSW - yeah I'm not betting on them in that matchup. But that's not to say they aren't legitimate or Mitchell isn't a superstar (he is) and Gobert and Conley are definitely top 25 players. Just a case of there being some immensely talented teams out west. Donovan Mitchell is a superstar? You're insane. Like.... I get you like Mitchell, but this is absurd. To call him a superstar at this moment is crazy. If you think he'll become that in the future, then more power to you. But he's not a superstar right now.... he's not even close to that.

That's asking an awful lot. He's a human being, not a superhero. It’s very unlikely he misses the entire year next season. Barring a setback in fact, not a chance he misses the entire year. ACL tears are no longer a 12 month injury. Players come back in 7-10 months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that. I think the Warriors are going to be really good without Klay. I think Steph Curry is about to go on a tear and be in the MVP discussion again. If Klay can come back to form, they're absolutely a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no......GS will be there....in the playoffs. I have a hard time imagining them dropping like a stone. I honestly havent followed the comings and goings from your roster......but feel confident they're holding their own in the transactions. Klay might be awhile and when he returns his game may be a bit slower - but its not like its built on blazing speed and jumping tall buildings. He can shoot lights out.....so when he gets that back....he'll draw defensive coverage just like always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the 4th player in the last 20 years to average 20+ ppg as the leading scorer for a playoff team in his 2nd season along with LeBron, Wade, and Blake. Not to mention he missed all of last summer and when he worked himself back into shape (the last 44 games) he averaged 27/5/5 on 45/42... But alright. AD is a "superstar" but has never led his team to 50 wins and has made the playoffs 2 times in 7 seasons. Not to mention AD/LeBron are a combined 4-8 in series against Western Conference teams and their teams went a combined 53-58 when they were on the court...

Big if though... it's unlikely he will be normal Klay as @showtime said. However with DAngelo Russell and the rest of the roster, the Warriors are absolutely being undersold if they're not expected to make the playoffs as a 7 or 8 seed. 3 minutes ago, showtime said: Donovan Mitchell is a superstar?

But he's not a superstar right now.... he's not even close to that. He isn't a superstar but he is a star and at times Mitchell's performances have elevated to superstar level. By the playoffs next year Mitchell, (along with other guards in the west like McCollum, Murray and DAngelo Russell), may be accurately described as the equivalent to superstar level performer in the playoffs. We'll have to wait and see what the results are. Mitchell is on the cusp essentially, I'm saying but to your point it isn't a guarantee that he shows up in 2020. Heck, Kyrie Irving didn't show up at all for the Celtics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 17 minutes ago, Leader said: Lebron was injured on 12/27 of last year. The team was 21+15 at the time. By time he returned - due to injury to others on the team, plus all the "everybodies gonna get traded for AD" rumors flying around - the team was pretty much out of it. And they were a fringe .500 team when he was on the court so that's reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s including D-lo too. I ain't a D-Lo believer, and we still don't know how long they hold onto him. Gotta see how he fits before I make any definitive statements.
