Is anyone else amused by how brian repeatedly criticizes the Mitchell trade yet was wildly enthusiastic about the similar Watsondermytowel trade? While only time will tell given the future aspects of the trade, at least Mitchell has produced at this point (unlike Watson).
In reality, the trade may work for both teams. Utah is building for the future and the trade works for that purpose. The Cavs needed a star to add to the mix now (and Sexton would not work for that purpose- the first twelve seconds of the video below show why). Utah would trade Sexton in a heartbeat for a 1st round pick, as they would any other BACKUP.
Garland vs. Sexton isn't even close. There's not a single GM in the NBA that would make that trade.
As for Markanen, brian never even mentioned him until I mentioned he was the most valuable asset to Utah in the trade.
