Donovan Mitchell has three years remaining on the five-year, $163 million designated max extension he signed in 2020.
The final year is a $37.0 million player option the guard must decide on following the 2025 season.
Although Mitchell has time left on his deal, there’s already talk about whether he will sign an extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers when the time comes.
ESPN NBA reporter Tim Bontemps doesn’t think that will happen.
“I don’t think there’s any chance he signs an extension there ever. And if it was up to me, I would trade Donovan Mitchell today,” Bontemps said.
