On May 19, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. In the Eastern Conference semifinals that have ended, the Cavaliers were eliminated 1-4 by the Celtics, and the future of Cavaliers star Mitchell became the focus of media attention. However, according to Brian Windhorst of The Athletic, the Cavaliers are optimistic about Mitchell's contract extension.

Reveal that the Cavaliers are confident of renewing Mitchell's contract! The name advises the outside world to stop speculating too much, and the hopes of the Lakers and other teams may be disappointed

In this year's playoffs, Mitchell averaged 29.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 38.2 minutes per game, shooting 47.6% from the field and 35.4% from three-point range. Mitchell has two years left on his contract, $34.9 million for the 2024-25 season and a $37.1 million player option for the 2025-26 season. He could sign an early contract extension with the team this offseason, or he could jump out of his contract next summer and enter free agency.

Brian Windhorst said of Mitchell: "I want people to refrain from guessing too much about what Mitchell is going to do next, because I've heard all sorts of news. Based on sources that I believe are reliable, I'm sure Mitchell hasn't made a decision right now, and he's doing a good job of keeping everyone in a happy place. I've heard that the Cavaliers are very optimistic about renewing his contract, and maybe that's how things will go, but I've heard other people say something different. ”

In fact, in an interview, Mitchell said, "I know I have a decision to make this offseason, and my agent and I will discuss that issue with the Cavaliers at the right time." However, I stressed that I didn't end the season unhappy and I was even more convinced. ”

The reason why Brian Windhorst advises everyone not to speculate too much about Mitchell's future is because there are too many rumors in the market, including teams such as the Lakers, Nets, and Pelicans, all of whom have a very strong interest in Mitchell. But so far, Mitchell himself has not made a decision, and the Cavaliers are confident of resigning Mitchell's contract.

Where do you think Mitchell will end up going this summer? Feel free to let us know in the comments section.
