Sources: Collin Sexton is signing a four-year, $72 million contract via sign-and-trade to the Utah Jazz. – 3:43 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
I wrote this in my MIP story today: Collin Sexton at +8000 is great value if you had any hope that he’d end up on a different team. Now he is. I will be betting Sexton now. – 3:43 PM

Cavaliers’ new lineup has real potential for a deep postseason run:
Darius Garland
Donovan Mitchell
Caris LeVert
Evan Mobley
Jarrett Allen – 3:42 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoops
My understanding was the Cavaliers had made a compelling offer for Donovan Mitchell and the @Utah Jazz had initially rejected the deal.
Have to imagine they had their sights set on RJ Barrett and when that fell through they reengaged with the Cavaliers. – 3:42 PM
Ian Begley @IanBegley
League source confirms Cavs finalizing trade for Donovan Mitchell. In talks w/NYK, Utah had sought RJ Barrett in packages. NYK extended Barrett earlier in week, complicating talks, opening window for others like CLE, who had pulled out of talks last week. ESPN 1st on Mitchell/CLE – 3:42 PM

Donovan Mitchell made the playoffs the last 5 seasons w/ Jazz. He lost in 1st rd 3 times, won 3 games total in the 2nd rd. Will it be any different in East w/ Cleveland? – 3:41 PM

Spent some time talking about Collin Sexton’s situation on the last podcast with @Nate Duncan … gotta thing he’s signed and traded as part of this or otherwise things just got way worse for him.

As the Knicks enter their third month negotiating with the Jazz on a Donovan Mitchell package, they might want to consider making sure Cam Reddish is part of a September deal. The Post has learned Reddish wants a change of scenery from New York after he was traded there in January and didn’t initially crack the rotation to build confidence. An NBA source said Reddish is looking for a larger role. -via New York Post / September 1, 2022
Chris Fedor: Where we are today is the same place that we’ve been. Collin (Sexton) and his camp want more than what the Cavs are willing to give and what the Cavs think they should give for somebody like Collin. If you’re looking at it from the Cavs’ point of view, they are saying, Hey, we’re giving you a multi-year deal, worth $40 million. That’s not nothing, right? -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / August 20, 2022
