There is no game in the NBA today, but the rumors are very sharp, and the most important news is the situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After being eliminated by the Boston Celtics, the Cavaliers also started their offseason, and their task was not easy at all, because the team has four stars in the team who need to negotiate a contract extension or early extension. Among these people, it is Mitchell who is the most important and the most difficult to do.
According to U.S. media reports, Cavaliers owner Gilbert has said that he will personally deal with the issue of the star's contract extension, and the top priority is to keep Mitchell. Gilbert felt confident that he would keep Mitchell. But Mitchell didn't really want to stay with the Cavaliers, and he turned down an early contract extension from the Cavaliers during the season.
If they can't keep Mitchell, then the Cavaliers will want to trade him out to avoid a lack of basketry next summer. The Cavaliers are also very clear that they want high draft picks and want one or two potential new stars. In fact, the Houston Rockets are a good choice, they have potential players such as Shin Jing, Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr. and Whitmore, as well as a scout from the Brooklyn Nets this summer.
Choosing two youngsters plus a probe pick, and exchanging Mitchell with the Cavaliers, the Rockets will be able to produce results quickly, which is also a good choice. In addition, the Cavaliers are also considering trading with the Miami Heat in exchange for players such as Herro and Hex Jr. However, Gilbert privately stated that he would not send Mitchell to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Gilbert did this only because he couldn't forgive James. Although James first left the Cavaliers in 2010 and even helped the team win its first NBA championship in franchise history in 2016, his relationship with Gilbert has not been restored to its original beginning.
It's been 14 years, and Gilbert still hates James.
