Id much rather have signed him like we did while only having to give up some 2nd rounders along with mediocre vets like Burks, Noel, and Kemba over trading what it would have taken to get Mitchell.
If what we saw in the playoffs was any indication, then Jalen isnt much worse, if at all, than Mitchell. And no I didn’t want them here together. It was one or the other to me, and Jalen represents a more calculated gamble for where we are as a team. We keep all our young guys/1st rounders, and for all we know Jalen could make 1-2 All Star teams himself.
According to some people Brunson ate DM's cookies in the playoffs. That's when this stuff actually counts. So what is it then? Maybe Brunson is the more well-rounded and even more clutch player. But he is definitely in the same conversation as DM based on their head to head competition.
