We've been far without him. With him here he's in the role best suited for him. 1A on offense. Roles matter people. Yes he's the hero we need.

Another empty-stats loser imo. It's becoming obvious that he was the problem in Utah, and not Rudy. :lol:

6’3 shooting guard too. Just like Lillard I say respectfully no thank you at the price of mortgaging the future. Bam and Mitch don’t win you anything

DBish maybe gets us up to a 4 or 5 seed, which is about where he's spent his entire career lmao.

Great movie, perfect gif. Let’s see if Mitchell can pull out a win. After that Rudy comment and looking at how the Cavs are playing, kinda hard to say anything.

Not even close, DM isn't as much of a defensive liability and advanced metric the last two years have him as a positive defender.
If he gets to Miami he'll be a superstar, the choaching staff will unlock another level, just like they do with most players.

I'd try everything to get him and sign (trade Jimmy if you have to), Bam/DM is a real core you can build around and both are in their prime for years.

Donovan Mitchell has untapped defensive potential. The guy has like a 7' wing span and Miami would make the most out of it.

Basically Lebron light 2.0 if they trade him to us. I can seem them trading him anywhere but here or at worst case making him sign here for the MLE, which won’t happen.

Imagine a 3 and D player like Max Strus on our roster? I feel like the fit would be pretty good. Maybe we can target him in the Mitchell trade as well.

I actually hope the Cavs win today so you can all see DBish get exposed against the Celtics next round lol

Is it a forgone conclusion he's even going to demand a trade anywhere?

Yep… easy money for Boston. Certainly wouldn’t bet against a sweep

Return to Miami Heat
