Mitch is funny, does that count?

As in, not funny?

It’s funny in the same way that I find it funny when Kyrie Irving asks “But how do we know the Earth isn’t flat?”

Recently I listened to a Windhorst’s podcast about Dejounte and discovered things I didn’t know.

I’m not a big fan but he’s an interesting dude.

I hate (in a sport sense) Trae Young.

Unless, of course, somebody asks why 6 is afraid of 7.

You eat one little number and people bring it up the rest of your life. Must suck to be 7. Move on, already!

I didn’t say it was comically easy. That was TNFH. I was more or less agreeing with you upthread.

I think for 17 million you could try to fill that gap and probably recoup a decent part of his value (if we had that money to spend – there seems to be disagreement on that point.)

And if you got OG or Markannen for him you might not notice a huge difference or you might be better (although I am not a huge OG guy)

But I do think the argument that our record in his absence is indicative of something significant about his value isn’t a very strong one.

Fuck the Hawks

FWIW I’m very excited to see this team at full strength. And looking forward to tonight’s game – would be a terrific road win if they can pull it off.

I actually enjoy Trae Young – I appreciate a good villain – but can’t stand Dejounte Murray. Saw the Knicks play the Spurs in SA last year and he was constantly berating one of his teammates in a visibly nasty manner. Seemed like a miserable fucker and I think he’s overrated, and yes, I’m basing that on a sample size of almost nothing so YMMV. But hey, the Hawks didn’t get better after the acquisition, did they?

I like Mitch plenty… but the main problem still is that he can’t stay on the floor. Suiting up is still kind of a pre-requisite if you’re going to cite BPM or whatever.

And I suppose he’s gotten better at avoiding foul trouble but I still feel like he has too many games where he either throws in a stinker or can’t stay out there.

He’s 24 and on a good contract. He probably has good value in a trade, so at the end of the day, it’s just a function of what we might get back. In the abstract, I’d prefer not to trade him but you’ve got to give to get and all…

I guess the real issue I am having is with the “comically easy” part of your rebuttal, as I don’t think it’s as easy as you do, and I don’t think it’s as comical as you do either. Comical implies funny, and there’s simply nothing very funny about listing a bunch of numbers. Unless, of course, somebody asks why 6 is afraid of 7. Then listing numbers can be kind of funny. But that’s a rare situation.
