The Miami Heat’s summer of star-chasing is coming to an end, and Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers is now the team that is most in demand.
Before Mitchell finally agreed to a three-year, $150 million deal extension in Cleveland, it seemed like the Heat were keeping a close eye on his contract status there. The five-time All-Star acknowledged that joining the Heat or going somewhere else was never a genuine thought.
For me, the decision seemed obvious. At the Cavs’ media day, Mitchell stated, “I’ve known for a little while that this was my decision.” “Having a media day when we’re not discussing my next destination is a welcome development. You can establish roots in a place you truly desire to be. I consider that to be unique.
The Big Three of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Mitchell were being considered by Miami’s front office. Given that Butler and Mitchell are two of the top postseason risers, this trio has the ability to create a lot of noise in the upgraded Eastern Conference.
“It was kind of funny watching everybody say that this is how I’m feeling, but I knew,” Mitchell stated. It’s energizing. We’re happy to be here, and In addition to missing out on Mitchell, the Heat also lost Caleb Martin, a vital member of the rotation.
