The Mitchell situation is interesting. When there was infighting between he and Gobert, I always thought the smarter play was to move Donovan. In a vacuum, I'd take Mitchell over Gobert 100 out of 100 times, but I just thought Gobert would probably be the more loyal player in the long run and Utah being one of the least desirable places to live for an NBA player, I figured that would factor in.
I also don't see Mitchell as the guy you build your franchise around. He kind of feels like CJ McCollum type of player just given a lot more opportunity. I still think he can be an incredible Robin to a true Batman. I'm really glad we played Utah in the playoffs this year as I came to a new appreciation of Donovan. He's a wonderful interview and someone any organization would be happy to have represent them. I still think Ainge will be cold blooded and look to move him, but I think he might wait a year. This will give organizations a little more time to reload on the haul it will take to trade for him and allow Ainge to evaluate Mitchell without Gobert.
It's a lot and sacrificing their future, but it would be the best chance of maximizing Curry's window. I think GSW will win another championship as is. I know "best laid plans" and all, but Durant would almost certainly guarantee that and probably more.
