The Cleveland Cavaliers were a clear contender for the championship in the last season. But things didn’t go well in the end, and they ended up running out of the league, which they didn’t hope for, especially their superstar player Donovan Mitchell.
Mitchell was hoping to win the title, but the Cavaliers couldn’t perform well and lost. So, there are rumors that he might request his trade from the Cavs.
There are many potential destinations for him, but the 3 most expected destinations that could acquire him are the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, and Philadelphia 76ers. Here’s why these 3 teams could be an ideal destination for the 3 time NBA All-Star player.
3 Teams Eyeing Cleveland Cavaliers’ Donovan Mitchell
While no teams have given any clue or statement about acquiring Mitchell, additionally, no NBA teams have been linked to the shooting guard. But there are a few teams that could acquire him to contend in the upcoming NBA Season. Have a look!
1. Sacramento Kings
The first team that could acquire the big man is the Sacramento Kings. The Kings already have 2 big men, Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox, who lead them in the Western Conference.
Adding Donovan Mitchell on the roster could not only help them contend in the upcoming season, but they can be legitimate contenders with their “Big Three” in the future.
2. Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers’ star James Harden has requested a trade. Following the steps of the star guard, Joel Embiid could also request his trade if the Sixers don’t serve him with a solid plan for contending in the upcoming season.
If the Sixers acquire Donovan from the Cavaliers, they can pair him with their big man, Joel Embiid, to contend in the NBA 2023-24 Season.
3. Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers have a lot of assets, and they could easily acquire even the biggest stars in the league.
