The Cleveland Cavaliers are facing a pivotal offseason after another early playoff exit and the firing of head coach J.B. Bickerstaff. One of the tough decisions they have to make is regarding the future of superstar guard Donovan Mitchell.
According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Mitchell’s role within the Cavs organization is among the most powerful for any superstar in the league, comparable to what LeBron James has with the Lakers. Windhorst even suggested that Mitchell’s role might be even stronger.
Questions have been raised about Mitchell’s fit in the backcourt with Darius Garland and in the frontcourt with Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. The team’s recent playoff loss to the Boston Celtics highlighted the need for potential roster changes to take the team to the next level.
Despite speculation about Mitchell being traded, Windhorst hinted that the superstar guard might actually sign a long-term deal to stay in Cleveland. Mitchell had an impressive season, averaging 26.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game, showcasing his ability to elevate his teammates.
This development adds an intriguing twist to the storyline, leaving fans eager to see what the future holds for Mitchell and the Cavaliers. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving situation.
