Don't shoot me, but in a scenario like that would you be willing to trade Bridges for iHart?

I think a KAT / iHart double big lineup would be fascinating. Bridges has the right size contract to match...

It's a good question.

I'd guess the decision tree involves if you think the offensive engine of the team is locked in for Brunson-KAT, than you have to entertain it. Mitch alone is not good enough.

I think secondary to that, who is your new wing/PoA guy and if McCullar/Dadiet or another replacement (Deuce/FA) are far enough along or good enough.

This gotta be scary for Cavs FO and fans

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6348937...

Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell will undergo an MRI on Monday after missing the second half of a blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 on Sunday, but said he’s planning to play in Game 5 with Cleveland facing elimination.

“I will be good for Tuesday,” Mitchell said as part of a few brief remarks in the hallway outside the Cavs’ locker room following the 129-109 loss to the Pacers.

Mitchell appeared to sustain a lower leg injury at halftime, with the Cavs down by 41 points, when he came out of the locker room to warm up for the second half. He tried to shoot a 3-pointer, but apparently felt a shot of pain, limped to the locker room and didn’t return to the bench.

The team said it was a left ankle injury, but Mitchell had been battling a mild calf strain in this Eastern Conference semifinals. After initially being noncommittal as to what was hurt, Mitchell said it was an ankle injury and the MRI was to “check to make sure I’m good.”

“I’ll see you Tuesday,” said Mitchell, who was on his feet, without a walking boot or crutches or anything that would indicate something season-ending (though the Pacers could take care of that for him with a win Tuesday).

...

Not only are the Cavs on the verge of being bounced out of the second round in five games for the second year in a row, but, depending on how the MRI goes Monday, Mitchell could be in street clothes for Cleveland’s last game for the second consecutive season.

Mitchell sustained a more severe calf strain and was out for the final two games of the conference semifinals last year against Boston. Calf strains are dangerous injuries because they can lead to Achilles tears; it’s fair to suspect doctors may look at Mitchell’s calf in imaging Monday to make sure something hasn’t worsened there.

Figure out a way to get Cason Wallace in said deal?

Yeah good call, gotta be something more than just straight up. I'd probably do that trade.

Definitely CLE and maybe 1 of the many many Utah playoff years.

OG and Kal REALLY better be hitting their 3s!

I can't. The spacing would be even worse than it is now. Replace Hart with Deuce and we might have something.
