Donovan Mitchell could be traded as NBA offseason approaches
Summary

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell is reportedly on the trade block as the NBA offseason nears. He will be under contract for the 2026-2027 season but has a player-option for 2027-2028. If Mitchell declines the option, he would enter free agency next summer. Although he has expressed a desire to remain in Cleveland, uncertainty surrounds his future. Analysts suggest the Cavaliers may explore trade options depending on Mitchell's willingness to sign a contract extension and the team's competitiveness after their recent playoff performance.
