Donovan Mitchell Rumors: Rivals Think Cavs Will Trade Star If He Rejects New Contract

While the Cleveland Cavaliers have found success since trading for shooting guard Donovan Mitchell, there is a "growing belief among rival teams" that Cleveland could trade him if he doesn't agree to an extension in the coming months, per NBA insider Marc Stein.

"As discussed here on multiple occasions, Mitchell will be entering the final guaranteed year of his current contract next season if there's no extension, leading to a growing belief among rival teams that the Cavaliers will be forced to trade Mitchell in coming months if they cannot come to terms with him an extension," Stein wrote.
