The Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell might get traded to the New York Knicks in the near future. The Cavaliers have a 9-8 record this season, and they are walking on thin ice. It is not sure if they will be able to make it to the playoffs. There are players who want to play for a particular team; look at James Harden, who wanted to move to the Los Angeles Clippers only. Teams do not like to keep unhappy players on their roster. Should the Cavaliers let Mitchell go?
The New York Knicks have a brilliant roster and they are second to only the Oklahoma City Thunder when it comes to draft picks. They are expected to splash their assets on a player who can lead the way for them. They have been linked with Alex Caruso, Zach LaVine, Joel Embiid, and nearly every star player who is speculated to move. Who will they acquire in the end? Can they land the Cavalier’s 27-year-old guard? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks involving Donovan Mitchell.

The Knicks are expected to offer RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Miles McBride, and a first-round pick each from the years 2024,2027,2028 and 2029 in exchange for the Cavaliers’ #45. The player always wanted to play for the Knicks, and he thought he would be traded this summer, but it did not happen. Will we see him playing for the Knicks next season?
