buno67 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I am absolutely stoked for this Mitchell trade! when was the last time they made this huge of a move? Maybe for love but I think Spida is better than love when we made that trade. can’t wait to see DG Rubio and Mitch playing together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannnnn….. idk man that’s tough We got Love at the top of his game. Dude was a rebounding freaking machine. I think Love was more accomplished in comparison but it’s close. So hyped for this man. Basketball is gonna be crazy to watch for the foreseeable future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love put up a lot of bulk stats but didn’t contribute much to winning in Minnesota. Mitchell has been arguably the best player on a very good team in the west. Mitchell just seems more like someone who can be “the dude” as opposed to just a solid role player for a really good team, which is what Love was.

Really solid high end talent, a few useful vets in Rubio, Lopez and Love, plenty of youth to still develop and improve paired with a few guys who’ve played a lot of playoff basketball. The starters obviously look good, but that second unit is gonna bust some ***** too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 We need a stretch big off the bench to replace Lauri. I’m not counting love as I don’t consider him a big. But that roster is loaded. Hopefully Rubio is good to go by January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a 6'10 shooting big man in the mold of a Channing Frye to come off the bench. We need length and another shooter off the bench for me to really feel like our roster was complete. Either that, or Windler needs to take a big step up this year and be a serviceable swing G/F off the bench. I still honestly believe we could beat any team with our current roster construction. Are we a year or two away from progressing our guys into position to win it all? Probably...but depending on injuries and development, we're as good as anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I gotta address that second sentence. If Love isn't a big, what the heck is he? Like, there's a difference between a big (can defend size, rebounding) and a rim protector. We could use another stretch big, but that's EXACTLY what Love is. He just isn't a rim protector. And there's only so many rim protectors who can stretch in the league.

He can’t play C like Lauri or Frye could. He’s of zero threat inside as a defender. He’s just a big guard who can grab rebounds. Which is fine off the bench. But we need a 7 foot big who can shoot. Even the worst 7 foot defender is at least an obstacle to shoot over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on what is on the floor for the opposing team but that was one rumored offensive line up to add more shooting and spacing for guys. I can live with it, as long as love is hitting his shots. Gonna be curious if they make another move before the season. Kinda wish they would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think love and or lavert will be packaged for a SF. Maybe someone like Harrison Barnes. Not someone who will carry the team but someone who can do a little bit of everything with some size.

roger murdock Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I know it didnt work last time he was here, but Crowder is the perfect big for us and still available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
