The Cleveland Cavaliers are clearly committed to Donovan Mitchell for the long run. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone all-in to make a win-now move, especially since he has yet to sign another contract extension.
Mitchell was reportedly more than on board with the James Harden trade. In fact, he reportedly pushed for it, given that they're both Adidas athletes and had already worked out and gotten to know one another.
However, this might've been a short-sighted move by Mitchell and the Cavs. At least, that's how NBA analyst Tim McMahon feels. In the latest edition of The Hoop Collective, he wondered whether Mitchell actually thought this one through.
