Just after the Cavaliers were eliminated 4-1 by the Celtics in the second round of the playoffs, Mitchell seemed to have ended his Cavaliers career, and during the regular season, it was rumored that the Lakers were willing to trade Mitchell, but the chips that the Lakers came up with did not satisfy the Cavaliers, but after the Cavaliers were eliminated, due to Mitchell's injury, now the Cavaliers are open to trading Mitchell, Lakers, are you ready for chips?
Mitchell and Garland
The chips given by the Lakers are probably Russell as the main body, and then add Hachimura and Rivers. Rivers has been treated as a non-sale by the Lakers before, but judging from his performance in the playoffs in the last two seasons, he can't play a tough battle at all, and his defense is even more stabbed. If the Cavaliers are willing, I believe the Lakers will trade Russell + Hachimura + Rivers + draft picks for Mitchell!
Russell
But Mitchell, would you really like to come to the Lakers? I think when Wei Shao came to the Lakers, people were full of expectations for the 360 combination of Lakers James + Davis + Wei Shao, but everyone knows the rest of the story! Playing next to James, Wei Shao lost his shooting bag, and one ball was not enough for him to score two or two points, and in the end, Wei Shao often took the blame for losing the game, and finally had no choice but to discuss a buyout and leave the Lakers. Before coming to the Lakers, Wei Shao averaged a luxury triple-double of 22.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 11.7 assists per game with the Wizards, and dropped to 18.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game after coming to the Lakers.
360 combinations
There is also Russell, the Lakers lost during the regular season, and the pot was handed over to Russell, because he had the third highest salary on the team, and Russell was an All-Star player before, so during the regular season this season, as long as the Lakers lost, Russell would be involved in trade rumors, and was used as a bargaining chip for Mitchell, Murray and others, and finally in the last few games of the regular season, Russell broke out continuously to stop these rumors, but as soon as the playoff performance was not good, he was about to be traded!
Russell
So Mitchell, would you really like to come to the Lakers? This season, Mitchell averaged 26.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists in 55 games for the Cavaliers in the regular season and 29.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 11 playoff games. What stats can Mitchell play when he comes to James, and can he still be 20+5+5? In the playoffs, can the combination of Mitchell + James + Davis pass the Nuggets?
