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

Yup, it's already an albatross. If they try to trade him or he asks out in a year or 2 it'll be the brown situation all over again.

 

Cavs saw the Brunson and the Knicks win a chip and thought they can do the same with Donovan

Problem is Brunson sacrificed actually took less so a championship team can be built

 

Everyone agrees with you except players (and agents) who are eligible for these pre-determined, max contracts.

Years ago, Daryl Morey said max player contracts should be done away with and I agree, particularly now that the 2nd apron is legitimately "hard" enough. The players union would never agree to this.

 

Sure better hope the cap keeps going up a lot. Way too much to pay to field a competitive team.
