Report: Lakers Ready to Make an Offer for Donovan Mitchell. Plus, Coaching Search Updates.

- The dirt has barely settled on the 2023-24 season for the Cleveland Cavaliers after they lost to Boston in Game 5 Wednesday night, but that means it's now time to talk about the future of Donovan Mitchell. The Cavs star has the opportunity to sign an extension worth A LOT of money to stay where he is for a while, but at the same time, there have been persistent rumors that Mitchell wants out.
And if he does, many teams are ready to jump on the opportunity. One, of course, is the Lakers.
Reports indicate the Lakers have their offer ready to go, should Mitchell become available. It would like have to be, basically, everything. Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, all the picks and pick swaps the Lakers can muster. Cleveland should ask for Jalen Hood-Schifino, Max Christie (rules for RFAs notwithstanding) and everything else not nailed to the floor.
Should the Lakers jump at the chance? Would they be better with Trae Young? Giving up much less for Dejounte Murray? Trying use assets to upgrade the depth?
They only get one swing at this, if they go for a star. Is Mitchell the right one?
More reports indicating that JJ Redick is at the front of the line for the Lakers in the coaching search, this one from Marc Stein. It might be his job to lose? But would the perception that he's too much a LeBron hire keep the Lakers from pulling the trigger? It kept them away from Ty Lue...

We need bigs.. size and 3 point shooting.. i like mitchell but we need defenders
Thumbs up for the special guest at the beginning.
Lakers will trade half their team to get a third " Star " / overpaid hurt all the time player. I'll just follow the team Rui and Austin land on. I see now why the Lakers have so many haters because I will definitely be one after this off season.
People will wanna blow up the team then complain that they didnt keep the title core
That 2020 team won a title, this team isn't going anywhere, too many inconsistent role players, Bron and AD aren't young enough too overcome the deficiencies of this roster. I'm all in on going for Donovan Mitchell
Rui didn’t do anything in the playoffs. The last Game he sort of showed up.
@@siba2379How do you address ‘inconsistent role players’ exactly as a solution? Go find ‘consistent’ ones that fit your specific needs/positions? Do you know how crazy that sounds? Denver for example continued to pour into their players, not trade after trade after trade looking for lightening in a bottle.
We don't need any of these dudes we need Clint Capella to help AD & a healthy VANDO & Reddick to keep LBJ Happy that's all!
I love your sense of humor. It makes my day. Brian- bring on your daughter more often. She's adorable.
Thanks! We like her. :) BK
We still got Vando! yall tripping like porter unstoppable this is 💜💛💪🏾Brian!
What are you going to do for depth if you trade for Donovan Mitchell? You'll have the 3 stars and a bunch of one year minimums. We'll be like Phoenix was this year, top heavy with no depth. It's a money making move by the front office. Sell a lot of tickets and make a lot of headlines and who cares about the results.
Gabe, Vando, Wood, Prince, JHS, Cam, Valancunias (probably), Bronny (probably)
@@andremiller1566bronny? Come on now, if we make this type of trade we are another playin team with a first round exit.
Giving up AR is probably gonna have to happen to get DM… You have to go all in…
If we could get D Murray without moving AR. I’d take that over Loosing AR and Rui
Ar Rui Dlo
give whatever it take except Lebron and AD
As long as Lebron is still here. No 3rd guy is gonna be a star. Bottom line. Its too hard to play your game with him. As great as he is, he takes a lot away from what guys feel comfortable doing
I was never more impressed with the Lakers than when they beat the Celtics in Boston without LBJ or AD. Second would be the Bucks win without LBJ.
Pls Get this Done now Donnavan M.and De Mar de Rosan to the Lakers!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
Donovan Mitchell certainly would be a good fit for the Lakers. But what will Lakers have to give up and still stay a potent force for championship honours for the new season.
Very cute guest Brian 👍😎
Donovan Mitchell is certainly an upgrade in the guard position. D'lo and Austin Reaves aren't built to go far in the playoffs. We saw this last season in the playoffs they were inconsistent and there were times they played well but in championship games, you have to be consistent. This season in the playoffs they competed against a championship opponent and we again saw how inconsistent they were as D'lo had a 0 point game which is really unbelievable for a player of his caliber and Austin Reaves struggled first few games. Rui Hachamura also struggled throughout the series offensively missing alot of point blank layups and defensively couldn't guard anyone and does not know how to box out to get rebounds. I would go in and get Donovan Mitchell as he had a stellar playoff run averaging 29.0ppg in 10 games and is #6 all time in playoffs scoring at 28.6ppg. He is proven scorer in the playoffs, but the Lakers still need a starting big preferably 7 footer. Having a 7 footer won't stop Jokic though as we are seeing how Jokic is destroying DPOY Rudy Gobert in the 2nd round playoffs.
Dan Gilbert is NOT going to help Lebron win another ring away from Cleveland
Cute guest with Brian 😊
I’m here to grind with the kam brothers let’s go😂😂😂💙💙💙🫡🫡
Andy the tennis coach 😂😂
I like Mitchel more than Young for sure. Big question is, how would you build the bench around James, Davis, and Mitchel?
James to cavs straight up
I honestly hope the JJ rumors are just noise to distract from who we’re actually interested in.
What do the lakers need to give up to get Mitchell is the key question. Lots of team would want him, and there are many team out there with more assets than the lakers
Oh, I think there’s a solid chance the Lakers could get outbid. But you can only put your best offer forward, you know? AK
what he meant to say is it’s not happening
Yes, Donovan Mitchell is the type of player you go all-in for. Love Reaves and I'm a fan of Rui but at this point in Bron's twilight years you have to go for the more experienced and established star right now IF he's available. Mitchell's style of play also isn't that of Trae Young or Westbrook but rather closer to Kyrie. He's a lanky, athletic and efficient/prolific scorer and isn't nearly as bad on defense as Trae or D'Lo. Even if we can put out a competitive trade offer, the question is whether or not Donovan will pressure Dan Gilbert/Cleveland to trade him to LA.
If the Lakers get a chance to trade for Michell, you do it.
Rather have Murray
@@nicstone3141🙄
No u dont
Depends on what you have to give up
@@nicstone3141Me too. Mitchell is like Chris Paul. This man always gets injured at the wrong time.
I really hope the Lakers can keep Austin instead of trading him.
Can we get a big to help AD and a 3 and D wing instead
Bron is retiring in 2 years. You get Mitchell at all costs, not just for now, but the future this is obvious. Bron is the key to everything, because of his contract. If he wants to go out competing, then he will likely take some form of a paycut so the Lakers can sign talent this offseason and you can bet your house on that (Just like in Miami, Bron sacrificed money to win).
You put Vando in the starting lineup to guard MPJ that’s easy, he was just hurt. Add 1 more 3&D guy to starting unit. You put Reaves on the bench or trade him.
There, this team beats Denver. Lol Jokic not beating a Big 3 of LBJ AD & Mitchell no way..
None of this is happening except lebron retiring 😂
@@kamarimitchell9797This is ‘definitely’ happening, even if Lakers don’t get Mitchell. Maybe think first.. Lakers have 3 draft picks this summer (2024, 2029, 2031) to use as well.. Sorry lol
What do you think the Lakers are going to do? And why do you think AD signed the that large extension? - So Lakers can pair him with another star after LeBron leaves…
->
@@kamarimitchell9797Some form of Rui, Reaves, and-or DLo + 3 draft picks = 3rd star & pieces for Lakers
Try to get him. We need someone to match denvers murray
give whatever it takes and just keep AD and Lebron. Mitchell is him
The Podcaast Elites just are insanely in love with Max Christie, I don’t live in LA, must be in the water, make it make sense😐
He needs more playing time to grow he’s got tremendous upside
@@Ro6ns that’s all I hear, Jamie Jacquez destroyed him last summer while he was the number 1 Laker option on a summer team of marginal lakers prospects. He got beat out by everyone he competed for minutes with in the season. Everyone was better in real games. Now he needs to get signed an extension on potential, go ahead it’s cool with me.
LBJ Era Biggest Needs:
• “3&D” SG or SF
• Traditional Center for $3-$7 Million
Post LBJ Era Biggest Need:
• 2nd ⭐️ All-Star or Super 🌟 Star to Pair w/ AD
📌 SG/SF Options
• Super 🌟 Star: Jayson Tatum/Spida 🕷️Mitchell (Both Free Agents in 25/26 or 26/27) = 3-1st Round Pic(k)s
• Fringe All ⭐️ Star: Dejounte Murray/Mikal Bridges/Brandon Ingram = 2-1st Round Pic(k)s
• High Level Role Player: Carushow/Bruce Brown/Caris Levert - 1-1st Round Pic(k)
📌 Center: Drummond/Nick Richards/McGee
Donovan Mitchell does get to the FT line but if he were a Laker, suddenly that would no longer be the case. James "Gucci Mane" Williams (the biggest Laker hating ref there is today) will make sure of it lol.
" ready to make an offer "? He needs to not sign an extension from CLE first..
Rui sucks because LeBron takes his playing time, they should have been running more offensive plays through rui........
I would love it to happen but its not going to
These conversations are all moot. We have nothing to trade that any team wants. 2024 is one of the worst drafts in history, nobody is going to give anything of value for the 17th pick in the draft. Reeves is our most attractive asset and nobody is going to give up a star for him. Unless we are willing to trade AD, we literally have nothing of value any team wants.
Lakers will likely have three 1st round picks they can trade on draft day, not just this years pick but two more that will definitely be used after LeBron retires so they could potentially be lottery picks. Obviously Reaves will have to go but I would try to package Vincent/Wood/ Redish instead of sending Ryu but obviously those future picks and Reaves are the most coveted.
IMO THE NEXT LAKERS COACH WILL LAST 1 SEASON ☝🏿
Donovan Mitchell Yes Yes Ohhhhh Yeeeesssss💜💛💜💛💪🏾🔥
Yea Spida, come to LA so you can experience the first round beat down by the Nuggets 🙄😂😂😂
Y'all think that Rob hiring JJ so he can pin it on LeBron if it doesn't work out
If that's the case, bad plan, because LeBron's likely done by the time that dust settles, so Pelinka will be left holding the bag. Plus, as we've discussed on many previous shows, if a GM makes a move that he knows is a bad idea, but he does it anyway because he doesn't have the stones to tell a superstar no (or lobby the owner to get his back), that's even worse than simply making a mistake. But bottom line, unless Jeanie will simply never fire Pelinka (in which case, nothing matters, so "insert emoji shrug"), if a Redick hire goes sideways fast, it lands on him, not LeBron. Appreciate you watching. AK
@@LockedOnLakers u are winning me over lately AK keep putting in the great work thanks for the responses even tho I'm snarky more often than not
Look around guys, all those great young contributing players, Christie is really not good enough.
0 pts. Game 3
lakers going to gut the roster again and end up like phoenix
At this point they deserve it , I’m tired of the lebron system
I thought it was 4-1 Celtics 🤔
Yes. Meaning Cassell will have some free time to interview in between series. AK
MITCHEL IS BETTER THAN DEJONTE.IF THEY HAVE TO LOSE RUI OR DLO THEY HAVE TO DO IT. REAVES NEEDS TO STAY,AND GIVE MAX A CHANCE.
How about trade Lebron back to Cleveland for Mitchell?
Would be best honestly
This is the best for both the Lakers and Lebron. Lebron would be in Cleveland where he could win his next championship and retire with his hometown team.
What about Paul George?
Mentioned him during the show. If he opts out, the Lakers won't have the cap space to sign him outright. And the Clippers ain't working on a sign-and-trade or extend-and-trade to send him to the Lakers. Not happening. AK
Julius Randle?
Donovan Mitchell is actually what they wanted when they brought in Russell Westbrook
Indeed. Good way of framing it. AK
LAURI MARKENAN + COLLIN SEXTON. 💯💯💯
YESSS
Stop talking about max as a starting SF. Lol
Only if LeBron leaves. Mitchell should stay as far as he possibly can from LeBron
Go get Westbrook....yeah right!
WHATTHEY NEED IS A LEGIT SHOT BLOCKING 7 FOOTER! A REAL 3 N D,VANDERBILT CANT SHOOT.THE 7 FOOTERS ARE COMING TO THE LEAGUE NOW..RUI,AR N DLO CANT PLAY D!
Mitchell shoots the ball 20-30 times a game. Shooting under 40%. A turnover machine.KD is the answer.
Sign Mitchell A reeves to the bench
Trade Lebron James for Donovan Mitchell. We would be able to keep everyone, get rid of some and add a big. Problem solved.
LeBron era is over!!!!!! We need to worry about the Lakers not LeBron..........
LBJ back to CLE!!!!!
Thats a lie. Any GM and Owner who wants to keep their superstars their going to do what that star ask. And thats been provin as long as you both been watching basketball. Only Michael Jeffrey Jordan didn't have that power. And thats definitely a fact for todays NBA.
Depending on 3 superstars risks becoming the next Phoenix Suns. However, the Lakers role-players are okay and the bench sucks.
A defensive backcourt of Dlo n Mitchell? Yeah i greatly overestimated the basketball knowledge of this podcast smh
Pascal Siakam…. Then give FA Kelly Obre a spot. Pacers will take Austin yesterday add Rui, take Obi toppin if need be. Go length. Woods included is attractive as a backup for small money maybe. Pacers are your team partner. If Mitchell deal dies do this instead
Pacers say say no to drugs.
This look like some 2k shi
@@joelandobutterfield1174👍😉😁
KD is the answer. Dlo, AR, Vincent, Westbrook, Donavan Mitchell, all the same.
Kd😂 hell no
I war he'd the Calvs for three years. Mitchel made the calv players worse offensively. Particularly the bigs.
This trade will hurt Davis
