Mitchell was a Cavs fan long before he became a three-time All-Star. A diehard, scream-at-the-television, trash-talking, jersey-wearing Cavs fan -- and he has a photo taken 20 years ago to prove it.
Since the trade became official -- with the Cavs sending Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Agbaji, three unprotected first-round picks and a pair of pick swaps to Utah -- Mitchell has received congratulatory messages from Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, an Ohio native who started his college career at Ohio State before transferring to LSU, as well as Browns cornerback Denzel Ward.
“I think the game and the team will take care of that,” Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff told cleveland.com. “We’ve created an environment and we have the type of people already here that will make Donovan want to stay around his teammates. Then on the court, we’ve got to go out and take care of business. I mean, he is a winner and he wants to win. So, we have to do those things that will help keep him in Cleveland.
Following the warm welcome Wednesday morning, Mitchell took part in an unofficial workout with some of the guys who are already in town ahead of the start of training camp, including LeVert, Garland, Allen and Mobley. Both Garland and LeVert were seated in the front row during Mitchell’s showy press conference, right next to Mitchell’s agent and his mother, Nicole. Last week, Mitchell was with the team in Nashville for a voluntary get-together that saw 15 players show up at various points.
“I think we’ve earned the opportunity to try to compete against the best in the world. And it’s an exciting group that has great character, great work ethic, and most importantly guys that really want to be in Cleveland. I think that’s really important,” Altman said. “I’m excited to see what it looks like. But there’s a runway here and I don’t want anyone to think that this year we have to be contention or bust. That’s not what this is.
