The Los Angeles Lakers are positioning themselves to acquire Donovan Mitchell if he does not sign an extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers this offseason. Multiple reports indicate that the Lakers are at the forefront of teams interested in trading for Mitchell. The Cavaliers' decision to trade Mitchell will depend on his willingness to sign an extension. If Mitchell remains in Cleveland, it could impact the future of Darius Garland, with potential trade discussions involving him as well. Additionally, the Brooklyn Nets are also among the teams preparing trade offers for Mitchell. Rival executives believe the Cavaliers will have to choose between keeping Mitchell or Garland, with Garland's camp potentially seeking a new team if Mitchell stays. Rich Paul of Klutch Sports would be involved in discussions regarding Garland's future. Multiple teams are preparing huge offers for Mitchell. Mitchell is currently questionable for Game 5 due to a calf strain.
