Summary

Massive news as a shocking trade sends Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland. We break down every angle: How good is this Cavs team? Do they have anything left to trade? Would we have done this deal? Did the Knicks make the right call in not upping their offer? What is their path forward now? And should the Jazz have taken the offer from the Knicks, or held out for something better? Then, Derek Bodner of the Daily Six Newsletter and the Sixers Beat podcast looks at how the Sixers improved their weaknesses this offseason. With those holes filled, what do they need from the Big Three to make this team a true championship contender? Which young players can emerge into rotation roles? Plus, how do the Sixers match up with their competition in the East, and of course our predictions for the season.
