Since the Donovan Mitchell trade rumors exploded, almost three months ago, the New York Knicks have been in touch and heavily engaged in trade talks for the All-Star guard. The recent signing of RJ Barret on a four year rookie extension forced the Jazz to look on to other trade offers. After that breaking news, the Cavaliers swoops in and take the chances to land the All-Star guard and pair him with Darius Garland, Jarett Allen, and the rising young superstar in Evan Mobley.
After that blockbuster trade with Cleveland Cavaliers for Donovan Mitchell, a trade of Rudy Gobert to Minnesota, and getting rid of Patrick Beverley by sending him to the Lakers. The Utah Jazz now have massive protected and unprotected first round picks till 2029 that could lead them to a very promising rebuilding period.
On the other hand, this is a very good trade for the Cavaliers as they get rid of Collin Sexton, who is coming off from an injury, a regressing Lauri Markannen, and an old Patrick Beverly. The Cavaliers will be a favorite team to watch this regular season and a favorite to have a deep playoff run as they will be parading their young core in Mitchell (25), Garland (22), Allen (24), and Mobley (21). Sure, the eastern conference will be a fun conference to watch as the fight for playoffs spot will be a neck to neck, as many teams now are considered contender in the like of Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks, and now the Cleveland Cavaliers.
