Donovan Mitchell to be a trade target for 76ers?
Without an extension with the Cavaliers, you can add Philadelphia to any proverbial group of interested suitors in Donovan Mitchell’s services, sources said. Although Cleveland brass has expressed confidence Mitchell will extend with the Cavs, sources said, the dismissal of head coach J.B. Bickerstaff on Thursday has been seen around the league as an inevitable move in the team’s efforts toward keeping Mitchell long term.

Cold world for JB Bickerstaff getting fired after taking 48-win Cavs to 2nd round. Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley all played less than 56 games. Mitchell didn’t play in the last two playoff games in 2nd round series vs Boston. Jarrett Allen missed 6 playoff games. pic.twitter.com/P3uTaiHsfD – 6:08 PM

“There is a lot of optimism around the Cavs that they’re gonna get a commitment from Donovan Mitchell on a four-year, $208 million extension this offseason.”

Donovan Mitchell, among other key players, did not have great confidence in J.B. Bickerstaff moving forward as the Cavaliers’ head coach, per @ShamsCharania (nytimes.com/athletic/55086…).
Bickerstaff will be paid $10 million from Cleveland over the next two years. pic.twitter.com/cNLd0ucsfu – 10:55 AM

The Cavaliers remain optimistic Donovan Mitchell will sign a four-year, $209 million extension this offseason, per @WindhorstESPN on @ESPNCleveland.
If Mitchell extends, Klutch Sports will likely request a trade on behalf of Darius Garland to find him a better long-term fit. pic.twitter.com/Ojoqwvp8O8 – 9:03 AM

The Houston Rockets have maintained interest in Cavs All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell for months and continue to monitor his situation in Cleveland, sources tell @TheAthletic.

More on this storyline
Though Cleveland improved under Bickerstaff, his teams scuffled after the All-Star break in each of the last three season. Also, and perhaps most importantly, Cavs star Donovan Mitchell, among other players, did not have great confidence in Bickerstaff as the coach for the future, numerous league sources have said for most of the season. -via New York Times / May 23, 2024
League sources said Bickerstaff was nearly fired around Thanksgiving after the team’s poor start. He also was admonished by team president Koby Altman in front of his entire coaching staff for playing Mitchell too many minutes in a December win over the Houston Rockets in overtime while both Darius Garland and Evan Mobley were out. -via New York Times / May 23, 2024
