Mitchell can sign a four-year, $200 million extension this summer. Right now, he’s due $35.4 million in 2024-25 and can become a free agent afterward by declining his 2025-26 player option.
It would behoove the Cavs to sign Mitchell, of course. The 27-year-old and five-time All-Star guard averaged 26.6 points, 6.1 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game for a Cavs team that reached the second round of the playoffs.
“I will say this. In three weeks, the Cavs are going to meet with Donovan Mitchell. In that meeting there’s probably going to be three things that are on the agenda. One, they’re going to offer him a $200 million extension. Very kindly, with a lot of smiles and hope. Two, you’d like to think that the new head coach would be hired by that time and would have for him an idea of how he wants to play. How it would affect him and how it would affect the other players.”
Of course, the Cavs also need to find a new head coach after firing J.B. Bickerstaff, and one can surmise that the new coach could have an impact on Mitchell’s decision.
Ultimately, the Cavs’ future is a big question mark with Mitchell’s future with the team up in the air. But this team is clearly better with him than without as the Cavs find themselves as perennial playoff contenders in the post-LeBron James era.

CLEVELAND — The Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency has issued an Air Quality Alert for a large portion of northeast Ohio on Tuesday due to the potential of ground level ozone to reach harmful levels.
The alert is for Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit counties. Air quality is expected to reach “unhealthy for sensitive groups” for the day, with highs approaching 90 in many areas.
The main threat is the ozone gas, which is a lung irritant which can lead to severe respiratory issues. People who are the elderly, young children and teens, the immunocompromised and those with lung issues, such as asthma, are recommended to reduce their time outside during this time.
The American Lung Association recommended these practices to reduce the health effects of air pollution:
- Checking air quality forecasts
- Limiting exercise outdoors when pollution is high
- Using less energy at home, this helps reduce the amount of air pollution by curbing greenhouse gases
- Walk, bike or carpool to reduce car emissions
- Use hand powered or electric lawn equipment rather than fuel powered
