The Cavs aren’t in a situation where they are even interested in listening to what teams are going to offer them for Donovan Mitchell. They’re not even considering that at the moment. Beyond that, and I’ve talked to Donovan about this multiple times, he is happy right now where he is at. He is happy being a Cleveland Cavalier. He believes in this team. He believes in this roster. He helped recruit George Niang and Max Strus because he knew after going through that playoff series against the Knicks that the Cavs, if they were going to take the next step as an organization, needed to improve their shooting and their floor spacing.

Craig Porter Jr. channels Donovan Mitchell with signature move, showcasing Cavs’ chemistry and joy
The expression on Donovan Mitchell’s face upon witnessing Craig Porter Jr. mimic his moves speaks volumes: the Cavs are not just a team; they’re a family.

The NBA Last Two Minute Report did not agree with #Cavs. All calls were correct — except Isaac Okoro stepping out of bounds while trying to save a rebound. The lane violation on Donovan Mitchell was correct. And Toronto didn’t leave the throw-in area on the inbounds pass. – 4:57 PM

The Knicks reportedly will not make a major push for Donovan Mitchell if he becomes available.
Donovan Mitchell to the Knicks rumors will not die. Even though they should.

More on this storyline
My sources tell me that the Cavs have zero interest in trading Donovan Mitchell. They haven’t even thought about that. In fact, my sources tell me that there are members of this front office that are sitting here today wondering why the hell people are even talking about the possibility of the Cavs trading Donovan Mitchell. -via Spotify / January 5, 2024
Max Strus scored 24 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers had their highest-scoring game of the season, routing the Washington Wizards 140-101 on Wednesday night to open a two-game set. Donovan Mitchell scored 22 points in 24 minutes to help Cleveland snapped a two-game losing streak. Caris LeVert added 21 points in 23 minutes, and Jarrett Allen had 17 points, 19 rebounds and seven assists. -via Washington Post / January 3, 2024
If the Cavaliers decide to trade All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, it will be a major move for the Cavs and the team acquiring him – perhaps Brooklyn, New York or Miami (the Heat have been looking for a combo guard and have long had their eyes on Mitchell). The Cavaliers traded for Mitchell with the hopes he would re-sign with them. But he has not signed an extension. He is under contract for 2024-25 at $34.8 million and has a player option 2025-26, allowing him to become a free agent in the summer of 2025 if he chooses. -via USA Today Sports / January 3, 2024
