According to Chris Fedor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cavaliers still believe guard Donovan Mitchell will agree to a contract extension with the team. "We feel good about Donovan," said president of basketball operations Koby Altman, who recently flew out to Los Angeles with new head coach Kenny Atkinson to visit Mitchell. "He's really invested in what we're doing, and hopefully soon we'll have more of a decisive answer." The 27-year-old appeared in 55 games in 2023-24, averaging 26.6 points, 6.1 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.8 steals. He's eligible to sign a four-year deal worth over $200 million. But regardless of what happens with his future in Cleveland, Mitchell is expected to remain at least a top-20 fantasy option. However, he is capable of cracking the top-10, although he'll need to stay healthy, which has been an issue.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell doesn't appear to be going anywhere this offseason. A fresh report from NBA insider Shams Charania notes that the Cavaliers are "confident" about reaching a contract extension soon with Mitchell. Charania adds that the team is also in the "final stages" of deciding its new head coach. Mitchell has enjoyed two very productive campaigns as a Cavalier, averaging 27.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.6 steals. It has been suggested that his backcourt partner Darius Garland isn't interested in returning for next season if Mitchell sticks around, and it's going to be interesting to see how the situation pans out. Garland's exit would allow Mitchell to play an even more dominant role in Cleveland's play.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell is one of the bigger dominoes in this coming offseason landscape. At first, there were hesitations and worries around the league that Mitchell would not stay in Cleveland. Now, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, there's a "league-wide expectation" that Mitchell and the Cavs are going to agree on an extension that could pay him up to $208 million. On top of that, Fischer reports that the team isn't looking to trade any of their core four players which includes Mitchell, Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, and Evan Mobley.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell is expected to start extension talks with the team soon. According to NBA insider Evan Sidery, Cleveland wants to have its new head coach in place before presenting Mitchell with his $208 million extension. A four-year, $208 million deal is the maximum amount the Cavaliers can offer to Mitchell, whose current deal allows him to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. The five-star All-Star has been linked with a move away from Cleveland, but it looks like he's set to stay, with the team needing to make other moves to accommodate Mitchell's needs. Darius Garland is expected to leave Cleveland if Mitchell agrees to an extension.

According to Cleveland Cavaliers president of basketball operations Koby Altman, guard Donovan Mitchell is "happy" to be on the team. "My exit interview with him was really good in that he was talking about the future and how excited he was about the team and organization," said Altman while speaking to the media on Friday. "From his own words, he says he's happy and likes it here." The 29-year-old has flourished in Cleveland, and he finished his most recent season by averaging 26.6 points while amassing career-highs in assists (6.1), rebounds (5.1), and steals (1.8). He's searching for a lucrative extension, which the team will likely offer this summer. From a fantasy standpoint, Mitchell is as productive as it gets. However, he's missed 41 games in the last two seasons, negatively impacting his fantasy value for the 2024-25 campaign.
