brunsons mitchell rj randle and mitch
probably one of the best backcourt in the league on offense, while grimes is struggling, the offense that mitch would bring and rthe defensive woes far outweighs the postives at grimes at his peak, as well as the fact that u have to double mitch, and if u do u would leave brunson rj or randle open all of which would feast on offense.
the defensive end rj has stepped up and brunson has as well, i think mitch with the cavs system has done better then he did on the jazz and thibs would. add iq off the bench and this offense would be top 3 easily. with a top 10 defense, wed have 4 players that can drop 35 at any time ( brunson, mitch, rj, randle)
just a dream i thought of when book killed us, we are a star away always
jalen and spider playing against this leagues guards would get absolutely torched on defense

don mitch is 28th in d win shres
brunson is 49th
together they may be worse but thats still top 80% of the leauge
RJ or Randle would have to be included in any realistic Mitchell trade. At some point the FO is going to have to commit to one and ship the other. I think a realistic trade of :
-
Knicks: Randle, Fournier, Grimes, Knicks 2024 1st Round pick, Knicks 2026 1st round pick (top 5 protected)
-
Cavs: Donovan Mitchell, Georges Niang
-
Starters: Brunson-Donovan- RJ- Niang-Mitchell Robinson
-
Bench: IQ-Donte-Hart-Hartenstein
-
We need a strong sf. Not another scoring guard man. I love Mitchell but he has garland and they still mid.
What’s the point of rj and randle in this situation. They don’t even make sense now. It so god damn obvious.
IQ would have to go if we get Mitchell, for no reason besides we can’t have 3 small guards playing so many minutes. We’d get demolished on defense.
Who you trading for Donovan?
RJ?
Randle?
IQ sign and trade?
You aren’t getting someone like that for free unless you wait for the 2025 free agency.
