Heat Central: Donovan Mitchell believes this Heat team adding Giannis and Klay Thompson will be a dangerous team: “All he (Klay) gotta do is stand right there because Giannis has so much gravity. If you help on Giannis, who you gonna help off of? That’s what makes them dangerous. They also got Davion, Wiggins, Bam, Larsson. And they got Spo. He’s a great coach. — Klay is a top 5 shooter ever!”

Dennis Schroeder expressed strong optimism regarding his recent trade to the Charlotte Hornets, viewing the transition as a superior opportunity for his career. Speaking with Braunschweiger Zeitung during a Braunschweig Lions game on Sunday, the German national team captain revealed he had advance knowledge of the move. “I’ve known for a month. I think it’s a better situation for me from a sporting perspective,” he stated in an interview published Monday. The Braunschweig native reflected on his tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers, explaining the tactical difficulty of playing behind star teammates Donovan Mitchell and James Harden. “When you have two legends in your position who bring the ball up the court and play a lot of isolation, then it’s just difficult,” he noted. Forced to adapt in the shadow of that duo, he described his assignment as ‘an extremely difficult role’. Despite those challenges, he remained satisfied with his stint in Ohio, which culminated in an Eastern Conference Finals appearance, an achievement he described simply as ‘cool’.

Vince Carter: “Donovan Mitchell just got the bag… but he had high praises about you being the best freshman ever at Louisville. Like, what did that do for your confidence? Mikel Brown Jr.: "Yeah. I mean that meant a lot… he accomplished more than I did when I was there.. But to hear that from him, that just shows that he believed in me from the get-go. I mean, we first met when I was at OTE my junior year in high school... we exchanged numbers, and ever since then, we've been very close. So, he got to see the work, he got to see the growth from my junior year to my senior year... But yeah, I mean to hear that praise from him, I mean it's a superstar in the league. So, you know, you don't take that for granted. And I appreciate him for that as well.”
“Jonathan likes the Cavs, likes (coach) Kenny Atkinson, and (star) Donovan Mitchell likes him,” Turner, Kuminga’s agent, said in a brief interview. Turner said Kuminga is fond of Cleveland generally and spent two months training there last summer. Kuminga has a relationship with Atkinson from when the coach was an assistant under Steve Kerr at Golden State. While both sides confirmed interest, it is unclear which avenue the Cavs might take to acquire Kuminga if they decide on that path.

Heat Central: Brian Windhorst says Miami makes even MORE sense for LeBron if he wants to play 2 more seasons: Windy: You know I’m from Cleveland you know my ties there. The more I’ve looked at this and the more I’ve had conversations, the more Miami makes sense to me. Now when I hear him thinking about a couple of years, it makes even more sense. I think that’s where he goes and fits. He can go there and have the ball. He also can go there and be protected on defense… I don’t see him playing with Donovan and Harden and being a clean fit. The fit in Miami makes more sense to me. I’ve come to that as I’ve watched this unfold the last 3 weeks and had a bunch of conversations Dave: I do think the point about the ball in his hands, that is the undisputed basketball fit in terms of the way we’ve seen him enjoy playing basketball (Via Hoop Collective)
ESPN Cleveland: “I mean it’s home, we’ve done it once, let’s do it again, simple as that,” - Donovan Mitchell on his pitch to LeBron James to return to the Cavs.
"We know the Cavs are among the leaders to land LeBron James. How does Mitchell's extension impact that decision?" Shams Charania: "It certainly helps because here you have a franchise cornerstone in Cleveland now doubling down on the franchise. This is the second extension Donovan Mitchell has signed since joining the Cavs in 2022. I am told Donovan Mitchell has been hands-on with his approach to trying to help the Cavs and work with the Cavs on roster upgrades after their run to the Eastern Conference Finals, and that does include the pursuit of LeBron James. Donovan Mitchell has made it clear behind the scenes that he would embrace LeBron James coming and joining him in Cleveland."
