Mitchell in Cleveland
Klay in Dallas
ESPN in shambles
😂
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Don’t forget about the Lakers 😂
I love it.
Yep 😂😂😂
no there actually has been crazy improvement in cleveland. from 22 wins, to 44, to 51 and a playoff berth without lebron, now finally they’re in a space where they can go on the greatest 20 game stretch in cavs history and win a series. this is huge. cavs got a lot of internal improvement coming. kenny atkinson will turn the team into a top 5 offence, and turn darius and evan into all nba players
“Weak east”
Dude they are a second round exit every year at best. What are we playing for? Mediocrity?
@@moneymoney3235 the East isnt weak, son. You're a clueless casual
@@blablablaa14 pipe down, little casual. This Cavs squad will hang a banner this decade.
@@dearmas9068not if they don’t get rid of Jarret Allen…. There’s a reason why we saw Mobley shine so much in the playoffs
All yall "experts" saying he was leaving lol take your big fat L
Their switch up now is crazy, the way they talk about the Cavs now, they talk like they knew it was gonna happen like they didn’t think he was gonna leave
Same..I knew mitchell was resigning..it was crazy how so many thought he was gonna leave
Where are all the haters who said Mitchell was leaving Cleveland? These guys know nothing.
Frfr
You know espn hates players that sign back to small market teams 😂😂
Because anyone with a brain knows he just settled and took the money.
Donovan went from going nowhere with the Jazz to now the same position with Cleveland. This wasn’t his real choice and even the espn analyst knows that. That’s why they mentioned the Knicks
But at least he’s getting paid
@@csharp57you are clueless. 👍
@@csharp57his experience with cavs is nothing like the Utah they can move garland and Allen and get some good pickups
@@csharp57 Donovan having his two best seasons on the Cavs, and the Cavs finishing in the final 8 (same as the Knicks) is going nowhere? The Cavs core players except Mitchell are all 25 and under. They have a new coach to raise their offensive dynamism. Settle? Bad take lol.
ESPN doesn’t care as much as y’all think they do.
"played his last game as a cav" lol
“The Cavs will have stress again in 2026” get over it espn, he’s staying in Cleveland
Why does espn want mitchell out of cleveland so badly
and that's not even true. he signed an extension. he still had 1 year left on current contract. so this 2026 is not true. its a 2027 issue.
WHAT HAPPENED TO MITCHELL TO NY ESPN????
Yes!!! Go Cavs!
happy for Donovan. definitely my top 3 favourite players to watch in the NBA
He does NO winning
@@OleScramone of my favs for sure
@@OleScramI think you mean Joel. 🙄
@@OleScram Even though the Cavs have been winning with him? Okay dumb dumb.
@@OleScrammake this make sense plz , we will be waiting
Time fly I remember watching mitchell as a rookie he almost a 10 year vet
Lets Go Cavs!!!
That gives us at least three more years. Time to build a true championship contender around Donovan. #LetsGoCavs #LetEmKnow.
I think it's two with a player option on the third but we got ourselves a little window
I’m happy Donavon got his deal done!!
Literally overnight, the Cavs situation went from hanging by a thread - potentially falling into a fire sale/soft rebuild abyss - to one of considerable strength and flexibility.
It wasn’t a complete rebuild situation at all
@@seanjean6738 if you’re forced to trade your best player out of the heart of your offense, that’s a soft rebuild at best in my opinion.
*A highly necessary shot at Kyrie. Ofc it's coming from Windy. SMDH*
Kyrie deserves every bit of it
Windy isn't thrilled Kyrie is flourishing in Dallas. Kyrie was supposed to be doing that "For" LeBron in Windy's mind. No Kyrie and no Donovan for the Lakers🤣🤣
Kyrie can’t be trusted
How was that a shot all he said was he could be the second best player in cavs history
@@EduardoOliveira-zx9ju That's not really flourishing. The Mavs went to the Finals so they THINK they're contenders for years to come. But I guarantee if they have another mid season, he will be disgruntled and wants to go to another team.
I guess Windy does't know the history of the Cavs. After Lebron, Brad Daugherty, Larry Nance & Mark Price were great Cavs. Donovan Mitchell will get there
Congratulations this dude can ball out and they building
Mitchell is a superstar. He’s better the Dame Lilliard
Prime Dame idk Mitchell way more athletic than Dame 4sure!
Both aren't superstars lol
@@samcar2724 mitchell is a superstar. He's a more skilled dwade w/ half the popularity lol
@@davidpark2509 a superstar putting up empty stats on mid teams basically? Nah he doesn't have that status
@samcar2724 when lebron wss allegedly a top 5 player in the league they said he still needed more help why doesn't mitcjell get that benefit?
dude carried teams that had no business making the playoffs since his rookie season let alone a 1st seed in the western conference w/ the jazz. Cavs couldn't even make the playoffs after lebron left prior to mitchell arriving. The cavs have the pieces they just need more time for their core to gell build chemistry.
She came with some good takes! Educated. Wasn’t aware of her prior! Keep up good work
Real ball knowers know that the extension was never in doubt
Real ball knowers knew that once the Knicks traded for Bridges that the extension was never in doubt
@@csharp57 If you paid attention to anything Don said over the past 2 years you’d know he was never leaving. You dkb
@@bradleyanderson359Knicks fans wanna act like they never wanted him anyways lol
Real ball knowners know that he just signed a 1 year deal, and will ask out within 12 months, forcing the cavs back to where they were before him, without the assets they got from him. He's using the cavs to get what he wants
@@blablablaa14 I’m not even gonna waste my time with this one
Solid squad.
What a hero. Donovan mitchell is what kids should aspire to be. 💯
lol it’s a reason SAS ain’t on today cause you know he salty . The Knicks never had a chance to get Mitchell cause he wasn’t going there
Knicks dodged a bullet; DMitch never made much sense with Brunson anyway. Cavs remain mid.
You ever hear of Jalen Brunson ?
@@cuseyeti_one8threeKnicks been mid WAAAAAAY longer than the Cavs..
Vaca season 😝
Knicks ain’t want this chump the cavs suck
So he will be staying for 3 more years since he has one more year left before the 3 year extension with the third year player option so possibly 4 more years with the cavs?
Yes. Correct.. that is how you count to 4.
I was just wondering and asking
Come On Mobley time to Get that Dawg In You Every Night!
Mobley is about to pop off
Wow that's so weird everyone was laughing at us 😂😂
GO CAVS
Who are these people? 😂
These max extensions are enormously gigantic and they don't even play 40 minutes per game.
NY under flood watch from all those tears. Steven B Salty for sure needs a hug. 😂
We don’t want Donovan
@@rnarine89that wasn’t the case 2 years ago lol
@@HarrisonPoindexter1 yea that’s before the Knicks saw what we have in Brunson, the nova boys. And OG
@@rnarine89they overrated
@@rnarine89 yes you do you little lair. But guess what?! No one wants to play for your horrible toxic franchise. The Nova boys won't win, but they will leave in a couple of years.
Remember when K Perkins said a huge star was joining the Lakers this summer? What happened with that???
@@TSeven714 lmao leave that kid alone. He hasn’t even gotten to summer camp 😂
lol
It’s crazy how they show the man highlights as he travels, both feet leaves the ground at the same time
Lol there's no traveling in the NBA
Mobley drop 32 in the last playoff game with no other stars
They still need to get rid of Garland and Niang
Then re-signing Mitchell makes no sense
Shouldve stayed 1 more year to make a name for himself
Klay turned down $40Ma year from GS
Klay took $16M a year from Dallas
Mitchell got $50M
Mitchell is also a much better player than klay
Lol Klay is washed. Stop it
Klay is horrible wth. Used to be a beast .
Give him some help
A guy who actually wants to be there. Thats what impresses me. And all im gonna say is do not do what the browns did to Baker.
Who wants to be there? Donovan? 😂
Man y’all delusional people making these comments AFTER the deal gets done. Y’all see and know the future like Lebron huh? 😂😂
Lol Baker sucks. Donovan is an all NBA type player.
So Cleveland will basically have 2 seasons to build a team that can get to where Spida is trying to get to.
More interested what this means for Garland this roster is going to change especially after the Allen stuff Spida wasn’t going to turn down a bag there wasn’t many options without some crazy trade
They going for a another one real soon
Stephen A is on his 2 month vacation
Like Dan graca on his nightly show moving to the morning shift with D/R till Labor Day
So SAS is not back till Labor Day well he repping his St Vincent flag 😝
He deserves 5 years 300 mill!
Spyda is great and all but he had no other suitors that could afford him and wanted him
That means Garland will probably be gone
Not to start the season I don’t think. They want to see if Atkinson can figure it out first. Otherwise, he and/or Allen will probably be gone by the trade deadline
Nobody wants DGs contract. He's getting paid like a star and he's definitely not that.
Good teams right now are talking about how much money they can take out of their big stars to get a better player on your team so they can win a champ. But this guy takes all the money from his organization who the hell's going to want to play with them. That's an a+ player He's not about the team or about you being on his team. It's bad situation. Is Steph Curry taking all the money leaving Klay Thompson now it's the same situation
Sign the max request a trade
Give me Buddy Hield and a backup center and we're back for sure
Eh. IDK about Heild. Maybe.
I really like Ingram and Tyus Jones for this Cavs Squad.
Send Zach over there
The Knicks never truly wanted this guy. They had all the assets in the world to get a trade done at last years deadline and didn't. He's a good one dimensional scorer but that's about it.
Lol 😂 cope
CLE had a solid year it was just health. If CLE stays healthy they can make a deep run. I’d say maybe add Lavine cause Garland was a no show in the playoffs.
Lmao second best signing besides LeBron? What about Kyrie? K love? As I get older these guys really get more and more ridiculous
Kyrie was drafted😂😂
I can see why you say Kyrie but that’s it. Come on bro D. Mitch like that!
@@QuanBerry did they not sign him after drafting him?
K Love was great in 15 and after that he kinda fell off. Not his fault injuries are a menace but.....he was on that 18 squad everyone says was the worst roster to make it to the finals since 07. So.............he was solid he outlasted the rest of the big three. But yeah......D mitch has been a better signing than him.
@@trd1593 5 years 105 million I think.
They got butterbean on the set now 😂
Lmaooooo thats Carlin now i cant unsee it
lol
That's humpty dumpty
Cavs have 2 point guards and 2 centers, they need to make 2 trades and make the team fit better.
Garland is gone for sure. I would trade allen and keep mobley.
Mobley is NOT a center. Hes a power forward who can move up to the 5 slot.
It would be foolish to trade Allen OR Mobley.
@@dearmas9068sthu casual
Donovan is not a better Cav than Kyrie!
You’re crazy.. Kyrie never sniffed the playoffs without LeBron in Cleveland D-Mitch done made playoffs twice in his first two Cleveland years..
Mitchell is a better player than kyrie ever was
So for the next 3 years he won't be winning any titles.
He'll be cashing MASSIVE checks
Who's baldie?
😂 new blood
Chris Carlin, he`s an old school guy from WFAN. He worked with Mike and the Mad Dog, back in the day.
Why is Butterbean talking about basketball?
D mitch getting traded. Get paid then leave
No he isn't 😂
Shots fired at Mark Price by Windy
They better put some respect on Mark Price’s name 😤
He'll demand a trade after a year or two
Hahaha you were so sure he was gonna leave now this
Wendy would know about hugh moves
Huge jowls Also. 😂
Dm is overrated. Cavs need garland and mobley to step up notch for cavs to have a chance in the east.
CAVS!!!
I can't wait for the next big moment they have....When Mitchell asks out in 1 year to go where he actually wants to go. Cause this is a 2 year deal, and players will a year left on their deal ask out and get what they want
Nice try, little casual. Never gonna happen.
Go cry in a corner
He has 4 years left on his deal lol
A big moment?donovan got overpaid that guy didn't take the cavs anywhere
Wemby about to drop a 30,15,5,2,5 season
Wemby is overrated, cant evennget his team wins
@@ghsense2626YOU MEAN THE WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE LOL
this video has nothing to do with Wemby
Chill
@@yung0problem7child3 but lebron turned the worst team into the best. Wemby overrated
Cavaliers are obviously banking on lebron coming back there
What if he fid❤
Keep Chiney on NBA... she's way too biased for WNBA.
😢
Imagine wanting to stay in Cleveland
You were so sure he was gonna leave lmao
I'm pretty surprised he stayed. I get it, money is awesome, but still...
Is there a better fit for him in the NBA? I don't think so, he's invested 2 years in CLE already, they are steadily improving hopefully under Atkinson they can take a leap. I have to admit that the Eastern Conference is currently stacked but with the roster they have they can conpete
Not suprised at all lol. More surprised ppl bought into the media narrative that he wanted out.
Then you should have paid closer attention. People who did knew he wasn't going to leave.
donovan is similar to westbrook
More similar to dwade/lillard
Better than kyrie!!! Lol omg...
man, gimmie cavs kyrie over spida everytime & im a fan of spida, smh windy
Windy is the worst analyst EVER.
Choose to stay or he choose to get his money. With the salary cap players can’t just pick the best city they want to leave in anymore
Except that he likes it in Cleveland and wants to be in that city. He literally said so several times.
@@dearmas9068 so does every nba player until they change their mind and request a trade. If the Knick had an opportunity to give him the same money you really think he would choose Cleveland over New York let’s be serious
New York is trash I don't know why people want him to go there so much. I'd rather go to Chicago lol
@@skeet88 actually most dont do that. MOST of them say they want to stay and then stay.
Nice try though
Christine Williamson is so boring
oh please his career is over they are in the east
she needs some practice being on camera what is she looking at so much
Am I the only one that thought the bald guy was fat Joe?
W
So overrated it’s crazy .
Mitchell is a more skilled dwade
Really not at best hes a #2 option on a 🏆 team i woulda traded him for the most i could get 🤣🤣 and im a cavs fan
Hes a more skilled dwade
Big mistake he will never win Cleveland 😆
They’ll still be mediocre and get bounced in the 1st round
Straight cap..Mitchell the best sg in the league
@@davidpark2509 so… his team still won’t make it to the conference finals
Automatic first or second round exit every year good thing he’s paid. Sucks it’ll be another waste of potential all-time talent but hey he’s happy
LeESPN in shambles after they tried pushing Mitchell towards LeBozo
You typed this for nothing 😂
I guess lol. Who really cares.
Spida should go play with LeBron in LA bro. That's a instant chip
They won't go over there .
@@GARRISVANHORN That's what angers Windy. No Kyrie, and no Donovan to help LeBron.
😂 and the most moronic statement goes to ...
Is ESPN really trying to paint the current situation in Cleveland in sparkly cute colors? 🎉😂🍿
Still a better situation than the lakers & bucks
@@ghostfvce0 Good point
Can we please bring Molly back?
😂😂
