If the Cleveland Cavaliers (currently second in the East) flame out in the first round again, will Donovan Mitchell ask out? Or if Mitchell, slated for free agency in 2025, balks at a contract extension (as rivals expect), will the Cavs preemptively trade him? “There’s no doubt he’s leaving once his contract ends,” said the second Eastern Conference exec, echoing a belief held by many around the league.

I am not ‘refs are bad’ guy. The no call on Torrey Craig blasting Donovan Mitchell in the face and arm was really, really bad. You have to just not want to make a call there. – 8:19 PM

#Cavs Donovan Mitchell just got smacked across the head/face on a driving dunk attempt. He stayed down for a bit but got up and was able to walk back to the bench. Torrey Craig, who hammered him and wasn’t called for a foul, checked to make sure Mitchell was OK. – 8:17 PM

What else does #Cavs Donovan Mitchell need to do to warrant MVP consideration? I asked him that following the game last night. Given what he has meant to this team, and his career numbers, it’s hard to justify any MVP talk that doesn’t include him.

#Cavs Donovan Mitchell is having a career year. He has improved drastically on the defensive end. And he has led Cleveland, despite its projected starting five playing just 225 minutes, to 35 wins and 2nd in East. Time to put him in the MVP conversation
