This offseason could prove pivotal for Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers, with the All-Star guard facing a decision on his contract extension.
While Mitchell has two years remaining on his current contract, the Cavaliers are uncertain if he will accept their offer, especially considering the player option in the following season.
Should Mitchell decline the extension, the Cavaliers may explore trade options to avoid losing him for nothing in the future.
According to Jason Lloyd of The Athletic, the Los Angeles Lakers are positioned as a front-runner to pursue Mitchell if he becomes available on the trade market.
Mitchell’s impressive stats this season, averaging 26.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game, make him an attractive target for teams seeking a dynamic scoring threat.
As the offseason progresses, all eyes will be on Mitchell’s decision and its potential implications for both the Cavaliers and interested suitors like the Lakers.
