Donovan Mitchell Trade Rumors: Rival NBA Execs Monitoring Cavs Star's 'Happiness'

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell is still under contract through next season, but NBA teams are reportedly "monitoring" his "happiness," presumably in hopes of potentially swooping in and landing him down the road, according to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto:

"Rival NBA executives are monitoring Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell's happiness in Cleveland. Mitchell is signed through next season before a $37 million player option for the 2025-26 season, which many around the league expect him to eventually decline.

"Cleveland wants to sign Mitchell to a long-term contract down the line and is in no rush to move him after making offseason moves to improve the team around him and the team's core, including the offseason additions of his former Jazz teammate Georges Niang and former Heat sharpshooter Max Strus.
