Anonymous NBA source on Donovan Mitchell trade rumors: That situation is very real
That (Donovan Mitchell situation) is very real. Teams will definitely clear out a bunch of (assets) for him. We’ll see. But if they face Boston in the second round, they’ll probably lose. And yeah, that doesn’t bode well (for his future in Cleveland).

#Cavs Donovan Mitchell proclaimed himself 100% earlier today. Even if it’s tough to fully buy that, this is what the Cavs have been anticipating for the last year. The regular season was always just a means to an end. Time to see what this team is made of

In 9 of his first 10 post-All-Star Break games, Donovan Mitchell took more 3s than 2s. In his last regular season game, he took 27 shots, 17 of them being 2-pointers. Nine of those were in the paint.
The #Cavs need more of that in the playoffs.

#Cavs Donovan Mitchell knows he will be judged on one thing: Playoff success. After back-to-back first-round flameouts, he’s got plenty to prove.
“To be considered one of the best to play this game, I’ve got to do something when it matters most.”

More on this storyline
Michael Scotto: Brian, I know in the past you haven’t been at liberty to say who the Nets could go after. Donovan Mitchell (coughs). That’s who I’m looking at. Lewis: I think everything they’ve done implies to me for the last year and change that this is a reset for 2025. Now, I have also added the caveat that there are a few players who could accelerate that process. Donovan Mitchell is one of those few. I don’t see a way that he walks away in free agency. If you know for certain that he’s leaving, one would think you’re bringing back assets for that in the summer or January before the trade deadline. -via HoopsHype / April 18, 2024
NBA stars today are trending toward signing and getting the money upfront and worrying about a trade later — a four-year Mitchell extension could be worth more than $200 million this summer, according to The Athletic’s cap expert Danny Leroux. -via The Athletic / April 18, 2024
I wrote last year after the Knicks eliminated the Cavs that all of the talk in league circles was that Mitchell wasn’t going to stay in Cleveland. This year has been much of the same. I’ve spoken to opposing players, coaches and executives who all believe these are likely Mitchell’s final days in Cleveland. -via The Athletic / April 18, 2024
