Miami Heat legend Udonis Haslem isn't buying into Donovan Mitchell being happy with the Cleveland Cavaliers
Udonis Haslem is not giving up hope on Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell joining the Miami Heat this summer.
Despite remarks from Mitchell and Cavaliers president Koby Altman expressing a desire to stay with the organization, Haslem believes the lack of contract negotiations speaks volumes. The five-time All-Star's player option for the 2026 season is leading most to expect a trade if an extension is not signed.
"When you talk about Cleveland, I don't want no parts of that until I understand what Donovan Mitchell is going to do,""He says he's happy there, but he didn't sign the extension, so I'm calling cap. If you're happy, sign the extension so we, as a front office, can say, 'Hey, we got Donovan Mitchell locked in. This is what we're going to look like the next couple years. This is the plan.
The Heat have been linked with Mitchell for the past three years. They made a strong pitch in the summer of 2022 before he was traded from the Utah Jazz to the Cavs. The Heat believe they have an inside track on signing Mitchell because of his friendship with center Bam Adebayo. The Heat big man publicly made a pitch to the star on social media after a fan offered a Playstation 5 if Adebayo could help bring Mitchell to Miami, which he responded toAnthony Pasciolla is a sports writer who has contributed to FanNation's Inside the Heat since June 2023.
