It was a trade that took the NBA by surprise — Donovan Mitchell to the Cavaliers.
That still seems a bit surreal, no? After all, the Cavs weren’t really expected to be a major player in the Mitchell talks with the Jazz. They also seemed to be very much on the rise before Mitchell.
Now that they have him, what should they expect? I joined Dave Bacon for my latest spot on Sports 4 CLE to discuss all that, and yes, a whole lot more.
Check out the videos below to watch portions of my segment, and visit Sports 4 CLE on Cleveland.com for the full take.

I DO hope you’re right. I would ask you please keep up in your articles with the progress of young Markkanen & Ochai, just for the retrospective on what we had hoped we we were going to experience before the trade. It was those exact two (along with Mobley of course) that I was so excited to see work together this season. Same for Collin too.
I know Mitchell will bring excitement too, but Laurie’s three’s on O & his height on D, I feel we may miss more than we think, or maybe not ? ? ? I wish all our departing players well & arriving Mitchell even more now.
