CLEVELAND — Donovan Mitchell is a man of his word.

Sources tell cleveland.com that Mitchell and the Cavs have agreed on a four-year, $273 million maximum contract extension. The extension, which makes Mitchell one of the NBA’s highest-paid players, includes a player option for the 2030-31 season and full trade kicker, sources say.
