Author of a superb debut in the Cleveland jersey, Donovan Mitchell does not, however, escape the carousel of rumors. On the contrary, the former Utah star is now sent to the four corners of the country, after the latest revelation from insider Brian Windhorst… However, his file must be put in context.
Clearly, the first season of Donovan Mitchell to the Cavaliers was a success. Arriving late in Ohio, the fullback quickly adapted to his new environment and thrived under the colors of his franchise. More than 28 points at 48% shooting, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on average as well as a peak of 71 units against the Bulls last January: individually, it was a real masterclass.
Collectively speaking, Spida brought Cleveland back to the playoffs for the first time since the departure of LeBron James. Certainly, the Knicks were too strong in the first round (4-1 defeat), but it was already an encouraging signal for the years to come as the group seems talented. It remains to be seen how long the star will still be in charge… because the latest news from Brian Windhorst may be worrying.

Donovan Mitchell is not expected to sign an extension with Cleveland this summer.
Warning here: Mitchell will not be a free agent next summer. On the contrary, he is under contract until 2025, the following season being a player option. But on the other hand, he has never hidden wanting to join a big market before being traded to the Cavs, and they don’t fit the profile. Could we therefore witness a trade? Many people believe it and the suggested candidates are indeed great clients.
He coming to Miami

Go Lakers
A priori, the Cavaliers will be able to count on Donovan Mitchell for at least two more years. If the franchise continues to progress, perhaps the back will decide to stay longer in Ohio. But since he has been suspicious of the Knicks in particular for a long time, we are not safe from an earthquake either…
