Staying the course and getting healthy sounds like a better option than trading too many pieces for a star that just got swept in the 1st round.


Love Mitch but he has demonstrated that he can't stay healthy. Tough decision but it's time to move on.

He was doing just fine last playoffs. He was doing fine in this one too until a 300 lb behemoth decided he wanted to jump on his ankle to take him out.

Unless it’s for a player that fits the team mold, you don’t trade one of the best players that fits in it.

I was about to post the same thing!

If we thought Game 3 was dirty, we ain't seen nothing yet. Philly has its back against the wall now. I already expect Embiitch and company to pull out all the stops to attempt to win by any means necessary. Hit, punch, complain, scream, cry, whatever. They're gonna do it.

What I'm fearing is actually something like that Andrew Bynum. Just something a player would do at of pure frustration.

Hopefully Embiid is out of the game by this point (and Brunson too). But you never know...

Bigs get injured. That's why we have 4.

Mitch is signed to a great deal. There's no need to move him just to move him unless real value is coming back.

I agree with this- especially since he’s perfect for Thibs and Jalens style/system…
My question is theoretically- can we keep and extend everyone if we wanted to within the rules of the CBA Gony?

That’s what I wanted to hear. I believe once we win our first chip with this group (give or take addition and /subtraction) Dolan will go over the luxury tax if we have a legit shot at repeating…
I’m looking forward to the day when we can use the financial advantage (that we have over most organizations)
in a successful capacity.

Mitch has had one impactful game since his injury return... Precious could have had multiple in that same span...

Mitch had to play to get his conditioning back FOR the playoffs. Do u not understand yet how important of an impact Mitch has on a game?
