In the latest NBA News, we are taking a look at one of the most surprising trade deals we have seen this year. The Cleveland Cavaliers got Utah guard Donovan Mitchell in exchange of a package that will give Utah a slew of draft picks and young players. Many were surprised at what the Cavs are giving the Jazz for the three-time All-Star guard.
The Jazz will be getting the Cavs’ unprotected first-round picks in 2025, 2027, and 2029. They will also get pick swaps in 2026, and 2028. In addition, Ochai Agbaji (No 14 in 2022 Draft), Collin Sexton (sign and trade), and Lauri Markkanen will be moving to Utah as well. Collin Sexton will now have a 4-year contract worth $72 million. This will definitely be something worth waiting for when basketball season begins. If you are in Georgia, and want to bet on sports, check out this sports betting in Georgia update.
Cavaliers Trade for Donovan Mitchell
Mitchell, who will turn 26 next week, will be joining the Cavs and many expect to see him join the core players with Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, and Evan Mobley. Garlland and Allen both made the All-Star team last season, while Mobley was second in the Rookie of the Year ranking.
Many basketball experts believe that Utah Jazz is taking the deal to fit a long-term goal of pivoting towards a full rebuild, and getting picks and young players is the perfect strategy to do so. While many fans think that the Jazz are getting the short end of a stick here, it may not seem so. Regardless of what the two teams have planned for the next season, this will surely make basketball betting in your pay per head bookie sportsbook more exciting, and profitable.
