A lot of trade rumors have been circulating around Donovan Mitchell. These were all based on reports that he is not happy with the current situation of the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, some of his actions might say otherwise. His attitude when the Cavs mounted a comeback against the Dallas Mavericks is just one of them. Will he stay after Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen led them to a win over Luka Doncic’s Mavs?
Donovan Mitchell doused both Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert in cold water after the Cavs came away with a close victory over the Mavs. This great show of team chemistry and excitement for a teammate’s success may have made trade machine enthusiasts rethink their rumors.
Mitchell has shown a lot of love to the Cavs and this win is just what they needed. They all came together to suppress the 39-point and six-dime explosion by Luka Doncic.
It all came into life when LeVert started hitting his shots. He ended the game with 29 points but made sure his outburst was infectious. Allen would then follow it up with a monster double-double. The Cavs big man grabbed 23 rebounds straight out of the board and dropped 24 buckets on the Mavs. Isaac Okoro came alive with his own 22-point performance while Georges Niang got 16 points.
Trade rumors will always circulate because NBA fans like to think about possible futures. But, the Cavs have a core that is well and intact. They may worry about all these trade suggestions floating around but their performances are what will prompt Mitchell to stay in the end.
