Donovan Mitchell agrees to a 3-year, $150.3M contract extension with the Cavaliers, AP source says

Associated Press  

CLEVELAND — Donovan Mitchell isn’t taking his talents anywhere. Shortly after word of Mitchell’s extension emerged, he posted a video on social media from the film “The Wolf of Wall Street” in which actor Leonardo DiCaprio profanely announces to his colleagues, “I’m not leaving.” Mitchell also went on Instagram to reiterate his commitment to Cleveland with a video of him driving and discussing his extension. Let’s get to it.” Mitchell was in LA hosting his “Spida Elite” basketball camp for some of the nation’s top high school guards. He’s been super involved and super collaborative and very, very much pro-Cleveland.” The Cavs’ bold move — they traded three unprotected first-round picks, forward Lauri Markkanen and guard Collin Sexton to Utah — to get Mitchell two years ago was a surprise. Atkinson understands his charge is to get the most out of Cleveland’s “Core 4” of players — Mitchell, guard Darius Garland, forward Evan Mobley and center Jarrett Allen.
