Many had predicted that Donovan Mitchell was a candidate to be traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers this offseason, but he dispelled those notions by reportedly agreeing to a three-year, $150.3 million maximum contract extension on Tuesday.
After agreeing to the deal, Mitchell addressed the trade rumors in an Instagram video, saying he never had any intentions of leaving the Cavs.
"All year I've been saying the same s--t, saying how much I like it. Every day it's like, 'He's gonna do this, he's gonna do that." I don't get it, I don't understand it, I think it's hilarious," Mitchell said.
