Is Donovan Mitchell disappointed to leave Utah? Nope !
Is he disappointed not to join the Knicks? Nope !
Is he happy to arrive at the Cavaliers? Yes !
It was Brian Windhorst, the reporter for ESPN, who revealed the reaction of the All-Star guard. On the greens when Adrian Wojnarowski threw his “Woj Bomb“, Donovan Mitchell screamed with joy, and our colleague explains why.
“I’m not going to tell you how I know, but I’m aware of his reaction” he explains at ESPN Cleveland. “I know where he was when he found out. He was on a golf course, and when he found out that Mobley, Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland weren’t included in the trade, nor Kevin Love, he started screaming on the golf course. He was so happy. He was extremely happy. I’m sure he would have loved to play at home at the Knicks. But there, he is very happy. “
We can indeed understand it since on paper, Cleveland has all the assets to get involved in the race for the first places in the coming seasons. There are two young All-Stars (Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen…), an exceptional youngster (Evan Mobley), precious veterans (Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio, Robin Lopez…), but also a super joker (Caris LeVert ) and quality “role players” (Cedi Osman, Isaac Okoro, Raul Neto, etc.).
Already last year, this team had the potential to finish in the Top 5 of the Eastern Conference before cracking, weighed down by injuries, and clearly, the Cavaliers came out stronger from this exchange.
On paper, they seem much better than the Knicks…
