Alright. I think we finally have the answer to every question we had this offseason.
Kevin Durant didn’t end up being traded, so that’s settled. Now we also know where Donovan Mitchell is going, too. The answer is the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Jazz just brought in an absolutely massive haul for their 3-time All-Star. It includes a number of unprotected draft picks, a couple of pick swaps between the two teams, a prospect in Ochai Agbaji and veteran players in Colin Sexton and Lauri Markkanen.
The trade came out of nowhere on Thursday with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowksi breaking the news.
Full trade: Utah is trading Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland for Lauri Markkanen, Ochair Agbaji, Collin Sexton, three unprotected first-round picks and two pick swaps, sources tell ESPN.
