I hate when people make this comparison because it wasn’t either/or, it was both.

That would’ve been our backcourt…

Yo we gotta let this go

Brunson was already on the team when the trade was going to happen…

Love Brunson, think the world of Mitchell. It would have taken a TON to get him and your backcourt is tiny come playoff time. CLE can make it work with Allen and Mobley; Mitch is great but hurt a lot. I’m not sure that pairing is optimal without the guys inside.

Shoulda gave up RJ

If they played in the same backcourt, those numbers will be down, way down.

Jalen looks like prop joe from the wire.

I’m a nets fan but know that Jalen Brunson is the best PG in the east, especially with how he’s been playing the past couple months. Hurts to have lost to y’all yday but it was fun watching Brunson cook

Anyone that doesn’t think this is a top 3 backcourt in the NBA is insane imo
TreborDeadward
Ok now do the comps with RJ
Rshahnyc
Now do RJ and Mitchell

Could’ve had both

Welcome to selective stat theatre. Let’s just be happy we got a good player without comparing him to a better player

People keep acting like we could’ve had Mitchell instead of RJ and we’d be fine. They tend to forget everything else.
We wouldn’t have any picks so no Josh hart. We also would have no bench, grimes, quickley, maybe obi all gone.
Go to league worse defense and no bench. Oh and it better work with said no-defense and no bench because you have no picks for 4 years.

This isn’t a fair take based on these stats though. The Cavs have a way more balanced team. We gotta let this go too. It’s okay. We’re doing good

it wasn’t a situation where it was one or the other, we would have both.
analogbeepboop
It wasn’t either/or
demetrios3
Now imagine we had both of them

Why compare these two? It should be Mitchell vs.Barret

It was never one or the other, it was an attempt at having both…
