Bulls East playoff road gets tougher with Cavs trading for Mitchell, Nets retaining Durant

Earlier this summer, it looked like the Nets were about to blow up and Donovan Mitchell was going to the Knicks. Instead, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving will be back with the Nets and Donovan Mitchell is going to the ... Cavaliers.

After talks between the Knicks and Jazz hit an impasse again with the RJ Barrett extension earlier this week, the Cavs swooped back in the Mitchell sweepstakes and won them. Cleveland is sending three unprotected first-round picks, two pick swaps, Collin Sexton (sign-and-trade), old friend Lauri Markkanen and 2022 lottery pick Ochai Agbaji to Utah for the All-Star guard.
