Thursday afternoon, word began to break that Donovan Mitchell was finally being traded from the Utah Jazz. Surprisingly, however, the New York Knicks, who were long expected to be the team to acquire Mitchell, were not the team acquiring the young star guard. It was instead the Cleveland Cavaliers who swung a deal for the guard’s services.
Cleveland sent out Atlanta native Collin Sexton, forward Lauri Markkanen, rookie first-round pick Ochai Agbaji, three unprotected first-round picks (2025, 2027, 2029) and two picks swaps (2026, 2028) according to ESPN’s league sources.
