Mitchell’s odds of extension with Cavaliers rising

Rival teams are eyeing Donovan Mitchell for a potential trade, but there’s a growing belief that the Cleveland Cavaliers will extend his contract this offseason.

“Donovan is playing for his legacy as a winner; that’s all he wants to do,” one teammate said earlier in the season.

Mitchell’s focus is on winning, and he’s eligible for a lucrative extension worth up to $208.5 million. If he doesn’t sign, he could become a free agent in 2025.
