The Cavaliers are unwilling to continue making wedding clothes for Zhan, and would rather send Mitchell to the Heat than the Lakers?

The Los Angeles Lakers recently faced some very embarrassing situations, that is, their next operation, everything depends on LeBron James' face. In the era of player empowerment, this has been a basic operation, but for a traditional team such as the Lakers, it can be said that it is very frustrating.

In recent seasons, they have been building a team around LeBron James. In six seasons, they have reached the playoffs four times, stopped in the first round twice, reached the Western Conference finals at least twice, and won the championship once, which did not satisfy the management and fans of the Lakers.

Recently, they want to trade for Cleveland Cavaliers' guard Donovan Mitchell. You should know that they have always wanted to trade for Trey Young, but considering the weakness of Trey Young's defensive end, they can only find better defenders.

So he took a fancy to Donovan Mitchell, the guard of LeBron James' old club. Donovan Mitchell was acquired by Cleveland Cavaliers at a high price. With the current young players and draft rights of the Lakers, it is difficult to trade and win Donovan Mitchell.

Moreover, it is reported that the Lakers' plan to trade Donovan Mitchell may fail. According to Sam Amico, Cavaliers boss Daniel Gilbert will personally ensure that Donovan Mitchell will not appear in Los Angeles.

"Gilbert and Kobe Altman will look for a rich package of plans in the Mitchell deal, including multiple draft rights and one or two potential young players. For example, a source told Hoops Wire that if the deal negotiations reach that point, the Cavaliers will ask the Heat to provide Taylor Shiloh and Hyjakoz Xiaohai in the Mitchell deal negotiations. ”

The Lakers really don't have enough chips to trade a guard of Donovan Mitchell's level. Donovan Mitchell averaged 26.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists in the regular season.

In the playoffs, he averaged 29.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers into the Western Conference semifinals, but unfortunately, they lost to Celtic and missed the Eastern Conference finals.

Cleveland Cavaliers' management always wanted to renew Donovan Mitchell's contract, but they were refused. It is said that even the big boss of Cavaliers interviewed in person and expressed his intention to renew his contract, but all of them were rejected by Donovan Mitchell.

Donovan Mitchell will definitely not renew his contract with the team now, because he can only get a contract extension of more than 201 million yuan in four years. However, when he enters 2025, he can get a five-year super top salary contract of 269.9 million dollars.

With the gap close to 70 million dollars, Donovan Mitchell will certainly not give up such a big contract. However, for the Cleveland Cavaliers, it's OK to give up Donovan Mitchell. After all, he really doesn't want to stay in the small city team.

In fact, the Cavaliers have done their utmost to LeBron James. In recent years, the Cavaliers have given LeBron James all the players he wants. Drummond said to give, and negotiated to buy out directly to facilitate his joining the Lakers.

Now, the knights have the opportunity to rise, and they will certainly not continue to make the wedding dress for LeBron James. Moreover, the Lakers could not afford to buy Donovan Mitchell's trade chips. Both Reeves and Dan Gilo Russell wanted to add, but Donovan Mitchell was not worth a cent.
