Donavan Mitchell Signs 4 Years/$273 Million Extension With Cleveland Cavaliers

Spoiler

 

Yikes. 68M for a small guard heading into his 30s

 

Mitchell is very overrated

 

He didn’t have to guess bruh

 

Very

 

So happy he is not on my team.

 

Worse than Jaylen browns deal…. 75 mill per yr? They gonna trade him for washed PG13 in two years

 

Nasty work. He’s worth like half that maybe.

 

This is crazy! I do think the CBA will get changed after the 2029 season to make the 2nd apron less onerous... so maybe it doesn't crush the Cavs like it would under the current CBA. A smaller, athletic guard getting paid 35% of the salary cap... just doesn't work in the psuedo salary cap 2nd Apron era that we are in today. Celtics broke up their team. The TWolves gave away a valuable player. OKC selling off their bench. The Cavs are already selling off their bench with Mitchell at only 30% of the cap... I am glad that the Rockets only gave Alpi 20% of the cap on his rookie extension.

 

Love Dono but nono to how this will handicap Cavs for the duration.

 

Crazy amount of money

 

The Cavs were in a much more difficult position than the Celtics because Mitchell only had one year left in his contract while JB had 3 years!

Since LeBron is probably coming, they could not afford to rock the boat. LeBron doesn't give a care what happens to the Cavs cap situation after he's gone in a couple of years.

The hard reality of max extensions colliding with the 2nd apron continues.

 

congrats. well deserved.

he's a definite top 10

 

That's the same contract Harden wants.

 

Is that 35% of the cap. We really should be talking about percentages. Numbers just shock people. Who cares what he makes, the real question is how does this impact my team's ability to make moves.

 

It's actually more, looks like it'll be 35/36/37/37.5

 

That's a lot of money to tie up to your cap. I feel like super max should only be given to a few select players.
