Donovan Mitchell Situation Being Closely Watched, Multiple Teams Preparing 'Huge Offer' To Cavs 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed May 15, 2024 3:40 pm

Donovan Mitchell faces a big decision this offseason when the Cleveland Cavaliers offer him a contract extension. If Mitchell chooses not to extend, a trade becomes possible and there are already several teams closely monitoring the situation due to their interest in acquiring him.


"The NBA, especially beginning with what Donovan says at the end of the season, is paying very close attention because multiple teams would love to make a huge offer to the Cavs if Donovan does not choose to extend his contract," said Brian Windhorst.


Mitchell has been non-committal on his future with the Cavaliers when asked about it during the season.


The Cavaliers traded for Mitchell before the 21-22 season with the Utah Jazz also receiving interest at that time from teams such as the New York Knicks and Miami Heat. Mitchell can become a free agent in 2024.


"There is an optimism within that organization that they're going to sign him," said Windhorst of the Cavaliers.

Makes no sense for the Knicks Bruson and Mitchell are not the pairing he needs a big i.e. embiid or someone.. Lakers could definitely use mitchell but then would still lack 3 and D shooters and likely have nothing left to improve the roster and Brooklyn he would definitely improve that team but they need a lot more than mitchell to go anywhere..

I'm not sure that either the Knicks or Lakers would be able to come up with a "Huge Offer"

Question is, would he want to re-sign with Orlando? I think he wants to play in Brooklyn or Miami. And he prob force himself there.

It's not like he's going to limit himself to only teams with enough salary cap available to sign him outright.

He will 100% consider S&T deals on the table for the Lakers front office because they have his bird rights regardless.

Russell opting out of the final year of his deal doesn't change that.

If I were him, I'd go to Spurs to play with Wemby.

Knicks certainly could come up with a huge offer. Tons of picks, Mitch, Bojan, Divo, Hart...now would it be smart...whole other conversation
