I’ve always felt the noise of Donovan Mitchell immediately wanting out was overblown. Maybe he extends this summer or maybe he doesn’t. We’ll find out.
But in my time around him he has genuinely seemed to like things in Cleveland. He’s not been a disgruntled star for two years. – 8:50 PM

Donovan Mitchell claps back at rumor suggesting he was frustrated with Cavaliers teammates cbssports.com/nba/news/donov…6:09 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Celtics vs. Cavs was not a contentious series fueled by rivalry. Donovan Mitchell poked his head into the Celtics locker room post game & flipped the bird at his friend Jaylen Brown with a big smile.
But the Celtics needed a vintage, intense Al Horford night to get over the top. – 5:31 PM

“This is a place I want to be.”
That was JB Bickerstaff’s message about his future after the Cavs saw their season end with a loss last night in Boston.
It is also what the Cavaliers hope to hear from Donovan Mitchell about his own future in Cleveland.

Multiple teams are monitoring the potential availability of Darius Garland, per @ShamsCharania on @RunItBackFDTV.
Garland’s representation feels he hasn’t been utilized enough since Donovan Mitchell arrived.
If Mitchell stays with the Cavaliers, Garland might request a trade. pic.twitter.com/jIXwmyxFSN10:35 AM

From @ChrisFedor on Donovan Mitchell:
“Throughout the season, Mitchell has repeatedly mentioned how happy he is in Cleveland and how much he likes this situation… But sources say at times he grew frustrated with some teammates’ lack of maturity, focus, playoff-level readiness – 10:33 AM

Will #Cavs Donovan Mitchell stay? Will J.B. Bickerstaff go? The franchise is headed into quite possibly the most-consequential non-LeBron summer ever after last night’s loss in Game 5.

#Cavs showed tangible progress this season. The many factors tied to *this* playoff exit led to thoughts of what could have been. There’s optimism.
Will it be enough to save J.B. Bickerstaff & keep Donovan Mitchell? A critical summer lies ahead

One moment in December in the Cavs’ coaches office foreshadowed the end of this season. Injuries, either Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell not in a Cavs uniform, and a coach in trouble. Reporting with ⁦@ShamsCharania⁩ and ⁦@ByJasonLloyd⁩ nytimes.com/athletic/54972…10:36 PM

If the Cavaliers decide to keep Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland’s agent, Rich Paul, would meet with the front office to potentially find him a new team, per @ShamsCharania (nytimes.com/athletic/54972…).
Cleveland will now have to decide between Donovan Mitchell or Garland. pic.twitter.com/KlDvPx9prV10:33 PM

More on this storyline

The Lakers’ best offer in any blockbuster trade looks somewhat similar, with the team able to offer their first-round pick in the year’s draft — No. 17 — in addition to first-round picks in 2029 and 2031. Their best young player, Austin Reaves, is still regarded highly within the organization on two fronts — as a prospect for their future and a player on a team-friendly contract. The team’s willingness to push all in on Mitchell or any other player is still unclear. -via Los Angeles Times / May 16, 2024
Throughout the season, Mitchell has repeatedly mentioned how happy he is in Cleveland and how much he likes this situation. He’s played his best basketball here. But sources say at times he grew frustrated with some teammates’ lack of maturity, focus, playoff-level readiness and a willingness to listen. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / May 16, 2024
