Donovan Mitchell Trade Rumors: Heat a 'Team to Watch' After Eyeing Cavs SG for Years

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ season ended on Wednesday, and they now face an offseason full of questions.
One of the biggest questions is about star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell, who has been involved in trade rumors before the season even finished.
Of the teams that could add a star this offseason by trading for the 27-year-old, ESPN’s Zach Lowe believes the Miami Heat is one of the teams to watch.
“Miami, to me, is the other team to watch,” he said. “They’re always hunting around, they’ve been connected with Mitchell over the years. They’re lurking and they have a lot of stuff to offer in terms of picks and young players.”
Mitchell, who just wrapped up his second season in Cleveland, averaged 26.6 points, 6.1 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game this year.
He helped lead the Cavs to their first playoff series win since the LeBron James era, though they couldn’t get past the Boston Celtics in the second round with Mitchell sidelined for Games 4 and 5.
While the five-time All-Star found success during his first two years in Cleveland, he could be on his way out this summer.
Along with the Heat, the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are among the early teams linked to Mitchell. On Wednesday, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported that the two teams “have their offers ready” for Mitchell should the Cavs decide to trade him.
Mitchell’s future remains a question mark this offseason, but it’s far from the only one for Cleveland. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported after the season-ending loss to the Celtics on Wednesday that the Cavaliers “plan to take time to evaluate” head coach JB Bickerstaff’s future.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Joe Vardon and Jason Lloyd also reported that point guard Darius Garland’s representation could be interested in a trade if Mitchell signs a long-term contract extension with Cleveland.
The Cavaliers have taken major strides and emerged as a serious threat in the Eastern Conference for the first time since James left, but things could look very different next year as a big offseason awaits in Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, OH — A 20-year-old father from Ohio, Traveon Hughes Sr., has been sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years, following his conviction for the murder of his 13-week-old son by asphyxiation. The sentencing occurred just two days after a jury found him guilty.
The tragic incident took place at the family’s Westlake home in Cuyahoga County. On June 25, 2022, authorities responded to a call and discovered the infant, Traveon Hughes Jr., who had been born prematurely, with a baby wipe lodged in his throat.
During the trial, prosecutors from the office of Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley argued that the act was intentional, emphasizing that the victim was too young to have ingested the wipe on his own. Conversely, defense attorney W. Scott Ramsey contended that Hughes did not act recklessly or intentionally and proclaimed his client’s innocence, signaling plans for an appeal.
According to the prosecution’s summary, on the day of the incident, Hughes was home alone with his son. He reportedly placed a baby wipe on the child’s chest as a substitute for a bib and left the room briefly. Upon returning, he found the baby choking and immediately called the police.
This case has garnered significant attention due to the young age of both the victim and the defendant, and the devastating circumstances surrounding the death. The community and local authorities continue to grapple with the implications of this tragic event.
