SHOCKING Donovan Mitchell Update…
we have a shocking Donovan Mitchell update as it appears that the New York Nicks trade Target is going to have a resolution to all of these rumors and we have to break this down we’re going to jump right into it so what’s up guys welcome back to Nick’s digest it’s Chris here and as I said we’re going to jump right into this thing because it appears as if we have a resolution to all these Donovan Mitchell to the Knicks trade rumors that we have heard for a long long time now as recent reports have indicated if you guys take a look that Donovan Mitchell according to R NBA Executives is most likely going to sign a contract extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers that will keep him there for at least the next three years leading to when he’s around 29 or 30 years old at the very least and honestly guys I am pretty happy to hear this news and let’s break down why that is one I didn’t want Donovan Mitchell on the Knicks and it has nothing to do with Donovan I think he’s an awesome player I think he’s so talented he clearly is carrying the Cavaliers but I don’t think he fits with Jaylen Brunson and that has kind of been the report that we’ve been seeing as I put on a recent video that I uploaded yesterday the Knicks according to Fred cats have not really kept that same amount of interest in Donovan Mitchell since their acquisition of Jaylen Brunson and since the emergence of Jaylen Brunson into that Elite scoring guard that they really wanted Donovan for because they didn’t have one of those now they do they have a superstar player who’s better than Donovan they don’t exactly want a second guy because Donovan Mitchell is not a great defender neither is Jaylen Brunson I think they don’t want to mess with the vibe that this starting five has they’re built so well together that adding in a guy like Donovan Mitchell could change things up potentially for the worst so I’m pretty happy that what the resolution is going to be is not only that he is going to not go to the New York Knicks and the Knicks are not going to spend all their assets on him but also that the New York Knicks now will not really have to worry too much about Donovan Mitchell for the future as when you think about it I don’t think the Cleveland Cavaliers are real NBA Finals contenders and that’s why I’m kind of surprised that Donovan Mitchell is going to be staying around now there was a lot of reports that Donovan Mitchell may want to get out of Cleveland because they’re just not winning games they’ve been a disappointment he was acquired to be a pairing with Evan Moy who never really panned out into that player who people were hoping he’d be and with that happening there was always a world that Donovan was just going to be like you know what I’m done I’m calling it I don’t want to play for this team anymore I’m not going to sign an extension y’all either trade me or I’ll play one more year here try to win you guys a championship and no matter what I’m leaving right after so clearly something has changed Cleveland has been able to convince Donan Mitchell and that makes me happy because I like Donovan Mitchell so much as a player he’s one of my favorite NBA players he’s a New Yorker he seems like a great dude but also the Knicks don’t have to worry about the Cavs and on top of it Donovan Mitchell showing loyalty which you got to respect to the Cavs and I just don’t think the Cavs are a very good team I think there’s a multiple there’s a multitude of teams that are better than the Cleveland Cavaliers most of them have players better than Donovan Mitchell and that’s not a knock on Donovan he’s one of the best players he’s one of the best shooting guards in the NBA I mean you can make the argument that he’s the best I think the top three are Devin Booker Anthony Edwards and Donathan Mitchell I’d probably put it in that order though Mitchell has a very very very very very good argument that he is better than Anthony Edwards at the very least I I might change my tune on that I’m not sure um they’re very close I’ll say that much so Donovan Mitchell someone who’s kind of a fringe top 10 player in the NBA someone who’s clearly good enough to be the second best player on a championship team but the Jerry’s kind of out if he could be the best on a championship team I think it’s kind of like a Jason Tatum situation where if you stack the roster well enough then yeah he can be the best player but he’d be a weak best player I don’t think Jason Tatum’s a top 10 player in the NBA I’m just being honest I think there’s 10 11 12 guys better than him in the NBA today it’s not a knock on Tatum he’s about to be a champion so he could say whatever the hell he wants to say I’m some guy with a microphone sitting in my bedroom talking about basketball talking about the Knicks specifically and since this is Nicks digest let’s kind of break down how that affects the New York Knicks well one the Knicks now finally get to focus on other targets not to say they haven’t been already they absolutely have been because as I mentioned Fred cat said that the Knicks are not as interested in Donovan Mitchell anymore but now they get to really lock in on other guys who they might want to Target around the league who might ask out knowing that the Donovan Mitchell ship has probably just sailed and you don’t even have to think about that doesn’t that doesn’t have to be a second thought you don’t have to have a part of your team kind of targeting Donovan looking at different options you get to kind of forget about the Donovan Mitchell thing for a little bit which is very nice just because it expands the Nick’s approach on other stars now I don’t think Donovan was a great fit I could see the argument why you think maybe he could work out in New York but I’m kind of happy that this is the direction things are going in so let’s just take a look at some info right here I love this little slide because Donovan Mitchell spoke about making the Conference Finals and said he wants to get there and get to the NBA finals that’s what he is judged on that is why I’m kind of shocked that he decided to well go to the Cleveland Cavaliers and then stay with the team obviously it wasn’t his choice to go there but the fact that he stayed with the Cavs he’s staying with them that is bold because I don’t think the Cavs are ever going to be good enough in the Donovan Mitchell era because they used so much of their assets to really win a championship they’d have to acquire another star now I don’t know who that star would be it’ have to be in some sort of trade that involves Jared Allen’s contract and whatever hell whatever the hell your picks can be and probably Darius Garland also but it appears that the Cleveland Cavaliers will not be moving any of their picks or any of their core cor as according to Jake fiser despite a wealth of interest in both Garland and Allen on the trade market Cleveland is not expected to entertain trade offers for any member of its core 4 at this time and that is also happening while the expectation grows that Donovan is going to sign an extension with the team that acquired him in 2022 so Donovan Mitchell clearly having an impact on the team wanting to keep their core four which I think is very interesting and I’ll talk about that in a moment but also when you consider things Donovan is the leader of that core four putting up 26 and a half points per game getting five rebounds getting six assists shooting 37% from Deep being a guy who well can’t shoot in the corner but can hit a three with with creating his own shot as clearly shown there only 56% of your threes are assisted that shows that you have one hell of an ability to create on the perimeter and with the New York Knicks I feel like this is just a team they’ll be able to beat up on for the next five years or so honestly I just think the Knicks are better I don’t see a way that the Cavs get better unless Evan Moy finally finds out how to become that NBA superstar that Cleveland so long expected him to be since his rookie year now this could shake up the NBA landscape more than we think and the reason for that well the simplest thing can shift an entire landscape the best way to look at how real of a thing that is is you go back like five six years whatever it was and go to those old Mike cormo wh ifs videos on what if Kevin Durant got drafted to Portland OR what if Steph Curry got drafted to New York stuff like that it shows how one ripple effect can change the NBA so much now unfortunately he doesn’t make videos like that anymore he’s kind of falling off to a degree but’s still doing better than me and he’ll probably never know who I am unless he accepts my challenge to box me on a Jake Paul card um so I have a feeling that that’ll just never happen I also love the guy’s YouTube videos I’m not I’m not saying I’m a hater I I’m a huge fan of him I just wish he’d go back to that old content because that was fun but you know now he’s married and stuff so he’s he’s living life good for Mike but that’s not really the point of this the point is guys Donovan Mitchell I didn’t want to on the Knicks I’m happy the Knicks are probably gonna look in other directions I think that makes more sense than literally anything else that that could possibly do here I just don’t see the Donathan Mitchell thing here now honestly there is some more information that we should look at that because according to Kendrick Perkins Donovan Mitchell had no choice because Cleveland made the business decision that it was either JB bigger staff or Donovan Mitchell as now that bigger staff has gone there was a thought according to Perkins or what we all knew according to Perkins that Donovan Mitchell wasn’t talking to JB bicker staff in the locker room so there was some beef there and it sounds as if Donovan Mitchell and JB bicker staff maybe we’re not getting along too well and now he’s gone so now Donovan’s going to stay and that gives a team that’ll never be as good as the Knicks most likely so the Knicks can beat up on them for the next few years keeps the Knicks in a good position and it doesn’t make the Miami Heat better who wanted to trade for Donovan so I think this works out for us I think everything that we’re hearing here Ben fits the New York Knicks in one way or another but guys I want to hear what you guys think so comment down below leave a like on this video video subscribe to Nick digest turn on post notifications tune in to our live streams it’s a mouthful I know but you know you do any of those things it won’t really change your life that much but it will change mine so do it for me because I’d do it for you guys have a great day go Nick

Great points brother enjoy your takes
Mobley isn't even 23 yet…and he's already better than Randle. Garland has trade value. Spida will be fine. Knicks fans acting like we have an unbeatable monster and the Cavs are some bums is kinda funny. Almost exactly the same record the last 2 years.
Where else could he go and win no where. He was smart to stay
He is better than Booker..
More importantly, he ain’t going to Miami. Spida, Jimmy and Bam would’ve been a tough out in the playoffs. Phew!
Not a fit we need bigs
He you go again
Dude how much Spaghetti do you have Sticking on your walls?
Let's End This!
The NY Knicks 🧡 are no longer interested in Donovan Mitchell.
Not playing around with the Cleveland Cavaliers
If Donovan Mitchel wants to play in NY 🍎🗽 really "BAD" and homesick 🤢.
He could go to the Brooklyn Nets 🖤. The NY Knicks don't want Donovan anymore.
I would prefer Dejonte Murray
How about a Zach Lavine
The Knicks definitely have to worry about the Cavs. Especially after that retool
Knicks fans if you do not want Donovan Mitchell why do y’all keep talking about him everyday 😂
Omg whats worse…this guys content or his background?
So it seems Donny Mitch predictably wont consider Brooklyn then.
Now the nets need to trade Mikal while his value is still high
