Noel is probably a slightly better shot-blocker(and by slightly, I mean very slightly better), but Mitch is better at everything else. Mitch is a better overall defender, Mitch has better hands, and Mitch is a better lob finisher. I don’t how many times guys would pass to Noel down low and he would fumble the ball away. Those would all have been dunks if Mitch had been there. I would resign Noel if we could keep him on like a one year $9-$10 million deal, but the priority is to figure out what to do with Mitch. They can either make him a restricted FA this summer or a unrestricted FA next summer. I would let him become a restricted FA this summer and let the market determine his value while we still have cap space and the restrictive free agent tag to keep him from getting away. His injury will depress his value somewhat, and we might be able to resign him to a 3-4 year $10-$12 million per year deal that should age well.

Agree 100%. Have Mitch go RFA Let someone offer Mitch a deal and then match. I doubt Mitch gets a huge offer this summer coming off missing half of last season due to injury
