American media NBA Hall of Fame Shams reported that with Garland and Mobley injured, other teams feel that the Cavaliers are gone this season, and many teams have begun to inquire about Mitchell, and the Heat and Knicks are very interested in trading Mitchell.

The Cavaliers used 3 first-round picks + 2 first-round swap rights + Markkanen + Sexton to trade back Mitchell, and they originally hoped that Mitchell could become the core cornerstone of the team.

Mitchell, like Lillard, is an All-Star guard with a strong offense and weak defense, and once they are on target, their ability to cut points is very inexplicable, but they can't defend well, and they are easy to be targeted by defense in the playoffs. Mitchell is only 1At 85 meters, he is considered a short guard in the NBA league, and he is especially easy to be limited by high-intensity defense in the playoffs, which is also an important reason why he leads the team to a round every year.
