Darius Garland to ask for trade if Donovan Mitchell signs extension with Cavs?
The Cavaliers remain hopeful that Mitchell, 27, agrees to a sign a four-year contract extension worth nearly $210 million after the NBA Finals … though it is believed that scenario could prompt Rich Paul-repped Garland to seek a trade.Source: marcstein.substack.com

Kenny Atkinson is the current favorite to land the Cavaliers’ head coaching job, but Johnnie Bryant is gaining some momentum, per @ByJasonLloyd.
Bryant, the Knicks’ associate head coach, is very close with Donovan Mitchell from their time together on the Jazz.

More on this storyline
The Cavs star has one year left on his contract. I’ve been told the Cavs either would sign him to an extension this summer, or trade him. They have zero intention of opening the 2024-25 season with Mitchell heading into his free agent year. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / May 26, 2024
Jason Lloyd: Still hearing Kenny Atkinson as leader for Cavs job but don’t be surprised if Knicks associate head coach Johnnie Bryant’s name emerges. Bryant was an assistant in Utah when Donovan Mitchell was there. Sounds like Dan Gilbert is heavily involved, more than I originally thought. -via x.com / May 26, 2024
Michael Scotto: Cavaliers exec Koby Altman on a possible Donovan Mitchell extension: “My exit interview with him was really good in that he was talking about the future and how excited he was about the team and organization… From his own words, he says he’s happy and likes it here.” ( @cavs) -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / May 24, 2024
Danny Cunningham: Koby Altman was asked if he anticipates breaking up Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell: “I don’t see why we should.” -via Twitter @RealDCunningham / May 24, 2024
League sources said Bickerstaff was nearly fired around Thanksgiving after the team’s poor start. He also was admonished by team president Koby Altman in front of his entire coaching staff for playing Mitchell too many minutes in a December win over the Houston Rockets in overtime while both Darius Garland and Evan Mobley were out. -via New York Times / May 23, 2024
Evan Sidery: Some teams have indicated they would prefer pursuing Darius Garland over Trae Young, per @JakeLFischer (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yah…). If Garland hits the trade market, dependent upon Donovan Mitchell’s decision, the Cavaliers could return serious value. pic.twitter.com/APgavopAZQ -via Twitter @esidery / May 17, 2024
