After five years with the Jazz, Donovan Mitchell will play in a new city and a new team when the 2022-23 NBA season begins.
Shortly after the Jazz traded Mitchell to the Cavaliers on Thursday, the three-time All-Star shared his reaction to the move, tweeting a picture of him wearing a Cavaliers jersey side by side with the infamous Brian Windhorst meme.
Could Mitchell have been destined to join a franchise seeking to reinsert itself among the NBA’s elite teams post its LeBron James era?
While the answer to that question will remain a mystery, Utah traded Mitchell to Cleveland for three unprotected first-round picks (2025, ’27 and ’29) and two pick swaps, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
