Donovan Mitchell Trade Rumors Swirling Once Again
Cleveland Cavaliers Star Could Be on the Move
By Josh Cornelissen, February 6, 2024
Donovan Mitchell has been involved in trade rumors for much of the last three seasons, and those trade rumors have only intensified in recent weeks. The Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly making and taking calls leading up to Thursday's NBA trade deadline, and Mitchell's name is at the center of those discussions.
Mitchell is averaging 27.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game this season, and he is one of the most dynamic young players in the NBA. He is also one of the most popular players in Cleveland, and his trade would be a major blow to the city.
However, the Cavaliers are struggling to meet expectations this season, and they may be willing to trade Mitchell if they can get a good return in exchange. The New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, and Miami Heat are all reportedly interested in acquiring Mitchell, and the Cavaliers are likely to demand a significant package in return.
If Mitchell is traded, it will be a major shakeup in the NBA landscape. He is one of the best young players in the league, and his departure from Cleveland would leave a major void in the team's lineup. It would also send a signal that the Cavaliers are not content with their current roster and are willing to make changes to improve their chances of winning a championship.
