Maybe we just go get Mitchell instead of KD…not sure we have the assets though. They apparently want like 6 1sts. We also don’t really have young talent.

I like Mitchell though, I would feel better cheering for him if he left the Jazz haha

A team that never really was...and the play is in Denver coincidentally.
Man... Chapman to Manning who dishes the beautiful no look over-the-head, two-handed, directly back pass to McDyess for the Wham-Bam-Slam called by Al McCoy with color commentary from Cotton Fitzsimmons. Wow.
That sounds like Keith Erickson to me, not Cotton. Am I going crazy?

It would be really hard to play CP3, Book and Mitchel together. Book isn't big enough to play 3, and the other guys are barely big enough to play the 1.

Ya it would be, but you’d stagger them so you don’t have to do it often. And a Mitchell/Booker backcourt going forward would be a lot of fun.

Yeah I think that combo could be good in the future. I think Mitchell's awful defense is more a factor of where he was playing.

He’d have to carry the offense less here as well. He was a good defensive player in college, I think it’s more about effort with him. He’s short, but he’s bulky and has long arms. I think he can be at least an average defender. It’s not really a realistic acquisition though.

I don't know the answer to the last question but to your first one, it could very well be. He didn't say much so it was kind of hard to tell.

And I just came across this and had to laugh:

I can't help but picture Al McCoy using his catchphrases in a dating context. "SHAZAM!!!"

Speaking of Al, great to see him in this new ad:

Sarver strikes me as the type that it isn't that big of a deal to him.

I don't think he is involved on any of the social stuff. From the folks I've talked to in the sports social media business, it is completely separated from that side of the house.

Man, he could be a good one. Too bad we never had a shot at him.

Obi Toppin kind of fits the bill as a spread 4/5 who can play in the post. The Knicks have had a hard time finding a role for him behind Randle and he's been part of the Mitchell trade talks. But he could be a potential starter next to DA and then a smallball 5 next to Crowder/CamJ. He's very similar to Amar'e; bigger, more fundamentally sound offensively but the same challenges defensively.

I like the idea in theory but how would he be neutralized in the playoffs? We have plenty of pieces for the regular season.
