NEW YORK — The Summer of Donovan Mitchell took many detours and finally stopped at Cleveland. For better or worse, the Knicks held their negotiating posture and lost their path to an All-Star.
Mitchell, who desired a return home to New York, was dealt Thursday from the Jazz to the Cavaliers for a package that included point guard Collin Sexton and three unprotected first-round picks, a source confirmed.
The Jazz also received Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Agbaji and two pick swaps. It’s a decent bundle but not the crazy haul many expected for Mitchell, after Rudy Gobert retrieved the Jazz five first-rounders.
