Yeah, not sure why they'd want to get rid of Mobley, as he is one of the guys they should build around.rapsuperstar31 wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2026 10:25 amI don't really watch enough Cleveland, but Mobley is 4 years younger, two time first team all defensive team, defensive player of the year last year, and can stretch the floor. I have heard he is a bit soft, so I'm not sure if he would just be another Chet though against Wemby. Now Allen's contract is easier to digests, Mobley is probably overpaid.AussieWolf3 wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2026 10:09 amMobley<Allenrapsuperstar31 wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2026 9:20 am The exact target I was thinking the Wolves should go after in Mobley.
I didn't watch them much in the regular season, but I caught most of their series against the Knicks. The contrast in perimeter ball pressure couldn't have been more stark in watching that series as compared to OKC vs. Spurs. I mean, Dean Wade was their perimeter "stopper", LOL. Dean Wade! A Wade/Harden/Mitchell trio on the perimeter just has too many holes in it defensively. Allen and Mobley are a solid defensive back line, but they can't possibly plug all the leaks on the perimeter.
