The Cavaliers will be relieved if Mitchell signs the deal. However, they may have to consider trading their other All-Star guard. Darius Garland has supported Mitchell for the past two years. It has been suggested that Garland’s agent should approach Cleveland about a trade. Additionally, the Cavaliers selected Golden State Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson on Monday to replace J.B. Bickerstaff as the team’s next head coach.

However, if Mitchell does not sign a deal with the Cavaliers, several teams are interested in adding the 27-year-old guard to their roster.
