Mitchell signs extension with Cavs

[Hey Yo]

All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell has agreed on a three-year, $150.3 million maximum contract extension that includes a player option for the 2027-2028 season, sources told ESPN.

The deal delivers the Cavaliers the stability of their franchise player under contract beyond next season -- and delivers Mitchell a guaranteed four years, $185 million total now and a chance to reach the league's 10-year service criteria that would allow him to pursue a five-year extension worth more than $380 million in 2027.

Probably means Garland leaves right?

Idk why people thought he was leaving Cleveland.

If his purpose rt simply lies in clinching a playoff spot even with a mediocre record, then it's ideal to stay in the east. The west has become a bloodbath again, with too many teams fighting for competing seeds.

Hopefully, the cavs FO can find the remaining right pieces around him for the best.
