Donovan Mitchell a trade candidate next year?
Which player has flown under the radar in free agency but will be a big storyline come February’s trade deadline? Bontemps: Donovan Mitchell. Cleveland has to try to prove over the next year it’s worth having Mitchell sign up long term, or they’ll have to consider moving him with a year left on his deal next offseason. If the Cavaliers struggle next season, Mitchell’s name could come up.

Brian Windhorst: First off, the Cavaliers are not trading Darius Garland. They’re not trading Donovan Mitchell. … I didn’t realize saying outlandish was such a trigger word, [after describing the Cavaliers’ plans this summer]. From now on, I will be very careful to be very bland. I will be extremely bland when I say the Cleveland Cavaliers are not trading Darius Garland. -via Twitter @ESPNCleveland / June 28, 2023
