I’M LEAVING: Donovan Mitchell shock everyone with immediate resignation and departure today after facing…
The Cleveland Cavaliers are expected to be one of the more intriguing teams to keep an eye on this offseason. Donovan Mitchell appears likely to stick with the team on a long-term extension, but there is no guarantee of that actually happening.
While the expectation is that the Cavaliers should be able to get a new deal done with their star shooting guard, things can change quickly in the NBA.
Reports have also come out that Cleveland would prefer to not trade any player within their core. Despite that report, the Cavaliers could see things change and be forced to alter their course of action.
Recently, King James Gospel took a look at the five most likely players that Cleveland could trade. Mitchell came in at No. 1 on the list.
“There is growing optimism about Mitchell signing an extension and staying in Cleveland long-term, but things can change fast. The Mavericks were confident they would keep Jalen Brunson in 2022 until he bolted for New York in free agency. Things often don’t get messy until just before the breakup. Nobody knows if Mitchell will sign a long-term deal or decide to take his talents elsewhere.”
