Eligible for a contract extension on July 7, Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell is highly coveted by the organization. With one year and a player option left on his current deal, Cavs president Koby Altman was asked about his status and a potential agreement, whether this summer or next offseason. “Donovan has been steadfast in how much he loves it here, and so there hasn’t been any question of will he be here and does he want to be here,” Altman said. “So I think that’s the biggest thing, right? That’s the best thing, when we have a superstar of his caliber that wants to be in Cleveland, that’s our best ambassador, that’s our best recruiter. “There’s guys that are here that wouldn’t be here without him, quite frankly. So I think the bigger question is the one that’s been answered is does he want to be here, and does he want to be here long term? And I think he’s answered that.”
