Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal
We’ve already given you the reasons the Warriors make this deal. Acquiring Mitchell improves their odds of repeating as NBA champions.
Imagine inserting Mitchell into this group. It’s fair to say that Spida would be the most dynamic on-ball player the Warriors ever put alongside Steph Curry.
If Draymond Green has been able to leverage Curry’s off-ball gravity into playmaking for this long, imagine what Mitchell could do? Of course, that’s before you consider that Klay Thompson exists. He’d likely migrate to the 3 in this scenario.
Of course, that leaves Jordan Poole as the sixth man. In all likelihood, he’d be one of the best reserves in the NBA in 2022-23. All told, this deal generally makes the Warriors more potent.
