Report: Donovan Mitchell Headlines Two New Names to Monitor in 76ers’ Trade Pursuit

Although the NBA trade deadline isn’t even within striking distance as the new season just got underway, the recent stretch of days has felt almost like a mini-deadline for the 76ers. Following the trade sending James Harden to the Clippers, Philadelphia is reporting targeting another big move, this time for a “high-level guard” with the assets received from Los Angeles, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

And after the first shoe dropped on the report of Philly's next potential move, names began to emerge. But one that stood out was Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell, who has two years remaining (including this one) on his five-year, $163 million contract extension which also features a player option for 2025–26.

The Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly keeping an eye on Donovan Mitchell if the opportunity to talk trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers emerges.
