On May 17, Beijing time, ESPN reporter Brian Wenhorst revealed that once Mitchell does not reach a contract extension with the Cavaliers, the potential next home may be the Heat, Lakers, Nets, and Rockets.
Subsequently, according to the American media AmNotEvan, in addition to the Cavaliers will send away Mitchell, Garland and Jarrett Allen may also be put on the shelf, and teams such as the Pelicans, Kings, Thunder, and Timberwolves may chase Garland and Allen. The Lakers, Nets, Grizzlies, Rockets, Heat could chase Mitchell.
Mitchell's next odds have also been released, with the Knicks first, the Lakers second, the Nets third, the Heat fourth, the Magic fifth, and the Rockets sixth.
Houston media outlet Bradeaux NBA responded to rumors that Mitchell might go to the Rockets, writing that Donovan Mitchell was frustrated by the lack of maturity, focus, playoff-level preparation and willingness to listen to some of his teammates, according to Chris Fisher. However, more evidence suggests that the Rockets are too young to offer Mitchell too many trade assets, and he needs to be traded to a direct championship contender.
It's not that the Rockets' young core lacks maturity, but Udoka's days at the helm are completely different than usual, and the team is rebuilding Phase 2. But stars like Mitchell clearly can't wait to win/win the championship, and the Rockets aren't there yet, so teams don't need to rush to chase them.
The Rockets currently have 6 cores: White Devils 20 years old, Smith 21 years old, Amen 21 years old, Shin Jing 22 years old, Jalen Green 22 years old, and Eason 23 years old.
In fact, a day ago, Wenhorst said that the Rockets are Mitchell's potential next home, and the rest media directly retweeted the comment: Even if Mitchell wants to leave the Cavaliers, the Rockets' call for "don't trade" him is also very high, and the Rockets should continue to use their 6 cores this season, and there is no need to trade young stars who have not yet reached their peak so early.
