Cavs will discuss moving Donovan Mitchell if he doesn't sign an extension

Harden has a $42 million player option for next season that heโ€™s likely to decline, a league source said. But a longer-term deal at a lesser number still would not be cheap. With todayโ€™s rules, with the way high payrolls chip away at resources and wallets, teams canโ€™t stay so expensive while continuing to lose in the second round.

Meanwhile, Mitchell, who can hit free agency in 2027, becomes eligible for an extension this summer. If he signs it, the Cavs can move forward with him at their core. If he doesnโ€™t, the organization will discuss the possibility of moving him, league sources said.
