REPORT: Cavs Could Make This Tough Decision With Donovan Mitchell If He Chooses Not To Sign Extension
Donovan Mitchell will be eligible to sign a $208.5 million extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers this offseason. Whether or not he chooses to sign it is one of the biggest storylines in all of the NBA.
But what happens if Mitchell decides to pass on the deal? How will the Cavs proceed with their future and Mitchell’s time in Cleveland?
Terry Pluto of Cleveland.com reports that the Cavaliers would opt to trade Mitchell instead of playing out his final year of team control.
“I’ve been told the Cavs either would sign him to an extension this summer, or trade him,” wrote Pluto.“They have zero intention of opening the 2024-25 season with Mitchell heading into his free agent year.”
Mitchell has been an All-Star in each of his two seasons with the Cavaliers and has not failed to find individual success. However, it’s postseason aspirations that he’s more interested in at this point in his career.
President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman spoke to the Cleveland media on Friday and briefly touched on the Mitchell contract situation.
“I’ll say that my exit interview with [Mitchell] was really good in that he was talking about the future and how excited he was about the team, and the organization … When we’re talking to him about the future here, getting his feedback, it’s all about, ‘How do we make this thing better? How do we achieve this together? How do we win in the future?’”
Read through the entire transcript of Altman’s press conference here.
At some point, we’ll have more answers on the Cavaliers and Mitchell’s future. But it will continue to be a polarizing topic until we do.

We understand how disruptive and frustrating a power outage can be — especially during a heat wave — and we sincerely appreciate our customers’ patience as crews work to restore service.

Jacob deGrom pitched seven strong innings and the Texas Rangers took advantage of a bone-headed play by Cleveland rookie outfielder Cooper Ingle on Tuesday night to beat the Guardians 4-2 and extend their winning streak to six games.
DeGrom (7-5) allowed a two-run homer to Kyle Manzardo in the first before turning dominant. The right-hander gave up a leadoff single in the second before retiring 18 of the next 19 batters, improving to 4-0 in June.
Joc Pederson hit a two-run homer and Josh Jung added a solo shot as the AL West-leading Rangers improved to 7-2 on their road trip.
They got a big assist in the seventh inning when Ingle, making just his second major league start in the outfield, lost track of the number of outs and tossed a live ball into the stands, allowing the Rangers to take a 3-2 lead.
With a runner at second and one out, Ingle caught a routine fly ball hit by Rangers left fielder Alejandro Osuna for the second out. Thinking it was the third out, Ingle looked at the ball in his glove before throwing it over the protective netting to fans.
The umpires immediately ruled the ball was dead, and Ezequiel Duran was awarded home plate.
Pederson connected for his 14th homer — and 11th since May 26 — off Tanner Bibee (2-9) to tie it 2-all in the third.
Jung’s ninth homer made it 4-2 in the eighth.
Manzardo gave the Guardians a 2-0 lead in the first with his 10th homer.
Rangers shortstop Corey Seager was pulled before his at-bat in the first inning because of back discomfort. The five-time All-Star missed 19 games earlier this season with back spasms.
