"According to Bleacher Report insider Jake Fischer, he believes Miami will "very much" be interested in acquiring Mitchell if he becomes available on the trade market. Could Donovan Mitchell really be the Miami Heat's next whale? This NBA season hasn't even finished, yet the Heat have been attached to all three of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kawhi Leonard and now Mitchell as potential trade targets."
Donovan Mitchell is eligible for a contract extension and is currently under contract through the 2026-27 season for nearly $50 million. If he does not sign an extension, he will have a $53.8 million player option in the summer of 2027, which would allow him to either remain with Cleveland or opt out for unrestricted free agency. His decision could depend on how far the Cavaliers advance in the playoffs, with an Eastern Conference Finals appearance viewed as the minimum acceptable outcome. If an extension is not reached, a trade becomes a possibility, and the Miami Heat have been linked as a potential partner. Bleacher Report insider Jake Fischer expects Miami to be very interested if Mitchell becomes available.
