More on this storyline
While the Cavs’ coaching search nears a possible conclusion, the team’s executives are set to present a four-year, $209 million maximum contract to Mitchell, team and league sources said. As for the coaching search, both Borrego and Atkinson are offensive-minded coaches who value ball movement and diversity in their attacks — things Mitchell craves. Multiple sources briefed on the looming decision to replace J.B. Bickerstaff, who was fired last month, said both Borrego and Atkinson have support among the team’s top executives, and the team is hoping to have its choice by the NBA Draft, which begins Wednesday. -via New York Times / June 24, 2024
“I’m just gonna tell you this, the Cavs had somebody with him over there to do workouts, this is their franchise player,” – Windy on Donovan Mitchell’s recent trip to Europe. -via x.com / June 21, 2024
Udonis Haslem on Donovan Mitchell: “I don’t know if he’s really interested in going back to Cleveland. I don’t think Cleveland is his first choice. I think he might really want to get out of Cleveland. If you look back when he was traded to Cleveland, Cleveland wasn’t even on his radar of teams where he wanted to go. It was New York. It was another team down south somewhere. I ain’t going to say no names. But it was other teams that he was talking about going to. Cleveland was never on the list of teams that he wanted to go to in the first place.” -via Sports Illustrated / June 20, 2024
