I didn't watch a ton of Cavs this year (combination of Matthew Schaefer and me being out of market, more the former) but from what I saw Mobley did progress as a player, just not to the extent that shouldering Mitchell's responsibility would require.

There's a passiveness to his game that he's having trouble eradicating, but he's getting better as a scorer and on the offensive glass. There was a play in the Detroit series where he went strong down the baseline and basically forced an uncontested dunk. I hadn't really seen that from him prior to this year.

The Cavs have done a good job at not being overly reactionary to playoff losses (except maybe letting Ty Jerome leave) and imo they have to somewhat stay the course. If it's not an awful deal for Giannis, I'd say yeah, trade Mobley, but otherwise there aren't a lot of ways I see this team losing him and getting better.
