The NBA just got a whole lot more interesting. After much speculation of the Utah Jazz seeking to trade Donovan Mitchell, the front office finally accomplished that feat. In a surprising turn of events, the Cleveland Cavaliers land the superstar shooting guard, and fans are losing their minds about it.
Jazz Trade Donovan Mitchell To Cavaliers For Haul
According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Jazz are receiving Lauri Markkanen, Ochair Agbaji, Collin Sexton, and three unprotected first-round picks along with two pick swaps. That’s a decent-sized haul in its own right. However, the Cavaliers have to feel ecstatic about acquiring Donovan Mitchell to pair up with Darius Garland.
