You don't release Paschal or trade O'Neal if you're not blowing the team up. You just don't. They will keep Mitchell just until someone meets their price.
Same with KD. Same with Irving. All those dudes are getting traded.
If those Miami suckers get Mitchell..... I just can't see it though...but they always find a way.
If there is one franchise who I would not gamble on their future firsts being good, Miami is at the top of the list. Desirable player location, top developmental staff and very good front office/coach.
Herro is good, but I have no idea how good. And how much $ is he looking for in his next contract. I don't think he is a headliner in that type of trade. Lowry and Robinson are salary fillers but negative contracts.
So who else....would the Knicks really pair Mitchell with Jalen? I am sure others will pop up because Mitchell is really good. But it is going to take a ton.
