  • Clickbaity title which is causing clickbaity debate.

    There are maybe 5 guys in the league right now that you would trade anything for.

    Just because you aren’t one of those 5 guys doesn’t mean you can’t be a phenomenal player which Mitchell is.

    The Knicks wanted Mitchell, but the price was just too high for us and had too much risk and potential future downside. If Knicks made the trade and saw that their ceiling was first or second round of the playoffs they would’ve been left with no trade pieces or draft picks and no clear path to improve. Which is exactly the situation the Melo trade left us in which set us back for years.

    Trade absolutely made sense for the Cavs, and made sense for the Knicks to not do it.
