Mitchell is only 24 and he’s making two super stars look average.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Donovan Mitchell has that Dame persona so much.. Utah congrats u got one

 

[AldoTrapani]

[Dom McBlazer]

Are we really gonna reference the Blazers in every post? Lol. Let the wound heal....

 

[illmatic99]

[MickZagger]

[Mediocre Man]

Watching Mitchell makes me even more angry that Neil drafted Zach……traded up to draft Zach

[MickZagger]

Whitsitt’s a great talent evaluator. One of the best. Doesn’t know chemistry very well

 

[DDolla]

[illmatic99]

[BlazerBeav]

West doesn't even matter. Nets are the 2021 Champions.

Even if the Nets get past the Bucks, I still don't think it's a given.

 

[wizenheimer]

I agree. The Nets are 5-0 at home in the playoffs, but 1-2 on the road. And if Utah or Phoenix make the finals, they'd have HCA

Needless to say, he is getting roasted on the radio here in LA. Not that they think he sucks, just that he should never be considered a "Robin" to Kawhi's Batman. And that he should never be talked about as a superstar. He should be the 3rd option, not the 2nd. They feel Reggie Jackson has outperformed him in clutch situations. PG is one of those players who thinks he is better than he actually is.

his defense was what set him apart, especially in those pacer series vs Miami.

And he's largely fallen apart on that end.

He was a volume shopper without a luxury tax to worry about....no concern about chemistry or disgruntled players on the bench ...he just collected them like basketball cards...give cap restrictions I don't think he'd be able to repeat what he tried to do in Portland.

yeah, he wasn't restricted by the current CBA. But he didn't overvalue his own assets, was an extremely imaginative trader, and was unafraid of risks. Portland needs some of that right now and it's the opposite of Olshey's tenure

SPAM= Spending Paul Allen's Money

The Suns are really gonna be in the Finals and can win a championship. They have looked as a real contender something I never seen from us as long as I watch this team. I cannot believe how they left us in the dust in just one offseason.
