Do not rule out the Nets as a surprise contender for star-level trades this offseason, most notably Donovan Mitchell and Trae Young.
The picks Brooklyn acquired from the Suns for Kevin Durant, including unprotected in 2027 and 2029, are viewed as extremely valuable assets. pic.twitter.com/3K7KRubufb – 12:10 PM

This art perfectly captures how the Cavs have been dealing with the injury bug for most of the season. Donovan Mitchell missing Game 4 was particularly gut-wrenching. Could the Cavs handle the Celtics without him?

The Lakers will be one of the teams expected to pursue Donovan Mitchell, if he declines an extension from the Cavaliers, per @ByJasonLloyd (nytimes.com/athletic/54918…).
Los Angeles can offer up to three first-round picks for a star this offseason. pic.twitter.com/gy692OFAfj – 12:20 PM

More on this storyline
Bobby Manning: Al Horford said #Celtics’ plan doesn’t change w/ Donovan Mitchell out: “We expect them to come out battling, fighting & we have to be able to match that regardless. I feel like our group responded pretty well from last game from expecting him not to play. It has to be the same way tonight” -via Twitter @RealBobManning / May 15, 2024
Evan Sidery: The Lakers and Nets already have offers prepared for Donovan Mitchell, if he requests a trade from the Cavaliers this offseason, per @Brian Windhorst on @GetUpESPN. If Mitchell declines an extension offer from Cleveland, all indications are he will be moved. -via Twitter @esidery / May 15, 2024
Tim Bontemps: Donovan Mitchell and Caris LeVert later came out to the court while their teammates were shooting. Mitchell is questionable with a calf strain, and LeVert with a bone bruise in his knee. -via Twitter @TimBontemps / May 15, 2024
