“This is a place I want to be.”
That was JB Bickerstaff’s message about his future after the Cavs saw their season end with a loss last night in Boston.
It is also what the Cavaliers hope to hear from Donovan Mitchell about his own future in Cleveland. espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 1:22 PM

Thursday’s @LockedOnLakers podcast! The Lakers reportedly have a trade ready for Donovan Mitchell if he won’t extend with Cleveland. Is he worth a Godfather offer? Plus, more coaching search details! @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rep… – 12:17 PM

Multiple teams are monitoring the potential availability of Darius Garland, per @ShamsCharania on @RunItBackFDTV.
Garland’s representation feels he hasn’t been utilized enough since Donovan Mitchell arrived.
If Mitchell stays with the Cavaliers, Garland might request a trade. pic.twitter.com/jIXwmyxFSN – 10:35 AM

From @ChrisFedor on Donovan Mitchell:
“Throughout the season, Mitchell has repeatedly mentioned how happy he is in Cleveland and how much he likes this situation… But sources say at times he grew frustrated with some teammates’ lack of maturity, focus, playoff-level readiness – 10:33 AM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
Will #Cavs Donovan Mitchell stay? Will J.B. Bickerstaff go? The franchise is headed into quite possibly the most-consequential non-LeBron summer ever after last night’s loss in Game 5. cleveland.com/cavs/2024/05/c… – 8:34 AM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor #Cavs showed tangible progress this season. The many factors tied to *this* playoff exit led to thoughts of what could have been. There’s optimism.
Will it be enough to save J.B. Bickerstaff & keep Donovan Mitchell? A critical summer lies ahead cleveland.com/cavs/2024/05/c… – 4:15 AM

One moment in December in the Cavs’ coaches office foreshadowed the end of this season. Injuries, either Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell not in a Cavs uniform, and a coach in trouble. Reporting with @ShamsCharania and @ByJasonLloyd nytimes.com/athletic/54972… – 10:36 PM
Evan Sidery @esidery
If the Cavaliers decide to keep Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland’s agent, Rich Paul, would meet with the front office to potentially find him a new team, per @ShamsCharania (nytimes.com/athletic/54972…).
Cleveland will now have to decide between Donovan Mitchell or Garland. pic.twitter.com/KlDvPx9prV – 10:33 PM

Inside look at Cavs offseason: JB Bickerstaff’s tenuous status, future of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland after Cleveland’s first East semis berth without LeBron James since 1993, and what’s next.
At @TheAthletic with @ByJasonLloyd and @joevardon: nytimes.com/athletic/54972… – 10:27 PM
Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe #Celtics fight off the #Cavaliers 113-98 with a strong 4Q, advance to ECF for third consecutive year. Tatum 25, Horford 22, White 18, Holiday 13, Brown 11; Mobley 33, Morris Sr. 25, Strus 12, Garland 11. – 9:22 PM

The potential trade market for Donovan Mitchell this offseason, if he decides to want to leave the Cavaliers, per @WindhorstESPN on @GetUpESPN:
Heat
Lakers
Nets
Rockets
Cleveland is prepared to offer Mitchell their highest paid contract in franchise history, but will he accept? pic.twitter.com/nrE832HXI2 – 9:16 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Horford stops Garland again and the crowd is loving it. At his best, he’s still fantastic stepping out on guards. – 9:03 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Darius Garland is now 3-for-14 after that last short miss inside over Al Horford.
Evan Mobley, however, is up to 25 points on 12-for-19 shooting, as Cleveland is taking advantage of Boston’s defense to get him a whole bunch of easy looks, and he’s converting. Big performance. – 8:57 PM
Serena Winters @SerenaWinters
Heading into the 4th in Boston and…
Evan Mobley leads the Cavs w/ 21 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists.
Marcus Morris Sr. has 20 points off the bench (8-10).
Darius Garland & Max Strus each have 7 assists apiece.
C’s up 6 & we’ve got ourselves a ballgame in the final frame! – 8:50 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Darius Garland has missed all four of his shots near the rim tonight. Al Horford has just gotten stop after stop on that switch. – 8:35 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Cavs decided to bypass the Garland/Horford mismatch for what they must have thought was a Mobley/Holiday mismatch in the post.
For those who have seen Mobley’s post game or Holiday’s post defense, it went about how you’d expect. – 8:27 PM
Bill Simmons @BillSimmons
Incredible replay of Tony Brothers watching Tatum’s 3 in the air like he had courtside seats over watching Garland hit Tatum post-release. Then of course Tatum gets Teed up because that’s why Tony Brothers is Tony Brothers. – 8:10 PM
Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Can’t really tell from any of the angles but if Jaylen Brown didn’t clip Darius Garland — and Brown is adamant that he didn’t, with the Celtics challenging — that would be an Oscar-worthy acting job by Garland. – 7:57 PM
Serena Winters @SerenaWinters
It’s all tied up after the 1st quarter in Boston.
Marcus Morris Sr. leading the way for the Cavs with 7 points. Evan Mobley, Max Strus (who also has 4 assists and 3 rebounds) & Darius Garland have also chipped in 6 a piece. – 7:33 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
After 1: Celtics 28, Cavaliers 28
Despite missing Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert, Cleveland keeps it tied up after 1 behind seven points off the bench from Marcus Morris.
Derrick White has 10 points, and hit a couple 3s, for Boston, which is 6-for-12 from 3. – 7:33 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Al Horford had Darius Garland on him and went to set a screen. Tatum immediately yelled at Al to go to the block instead. Celtics didn’t end up finding Horford down there but got an open Derrick White 3-pointer while Garland was trying to switch out of the bad matchup. – 7:10 PM
Cameron Tabatabaie @CTabatabaie
Darius Garland is a hero, man
Fractured orbital and fractured jaw this season and still giving it everything he’s got with his team down 1-3 – 7:10 PM

Cavs at Celtics – TD Garden – May 15, 2024 – ECSF Game 5 Starters

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
So Celtics get Cavaliers tonight without Donovan Mitchell, Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen in that potential series finale, after getting series finale vs. Heat with no Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier, Jaime Jaquez Jr. (Also, no Porzingis for Celtics still.) – 6:33 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Donovan Mitchell, Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen all will miss tonight’s game, per the Cavs. – 6:18 PM

NEW from @Anthony_Chiang and me: Some clarity for those wondering if the new looming mega NBA TV deal will result in a big cap increase and give Heat long-awaited cap space. What to know on this miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia…

Looking back on when the Jazz traded Donovan Mitchell to the Cavaliers, Danny Ainge hit a gold mine of value:

2026 unprotected swap
2027 unprotected 1st
2028 unprotected swap
2029 unprotected 1st

Three teams will be “at the top of the list” of Donovan Mitchell trade suitors if he doesn’t extend in Cleveland, per @WindhorstESPN:
Lakers
Heat
Nets
Windhorst notes that Mitchell will be able to somewhat direct a trade with one year left on his contract. pic.twitter.com/3L1lxJcwir – 1:55 PM
Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
Donovan Mitchell is likely out for Game 5.
Lakers and Nets are among teams reportedly lining up trade offers if Mitchell does not sign an extension this summer to stay in Cleveland. nbcsports.com/nba/news/donov… – 1:23 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Garland on the looks #Celtics gave him with Mitchell out: “They’ve been switching the whole series. Jrue Holiday’s been picking me up full court … (we have to) try to get into our actions quicker … they point switch a lot, so easy slips to the rim, get Evan on the switch.” pic.twitter.com/WIci0MHTb8 – 1:12 PM
Evan Sidery @esidery
Do not rule out the Nets as a surprise contender for star-level trades this offseason, most notably Donovan Mitchell and Trae Young.
The picks Brooklyn acquired from the Suns for Kevin Durant, including unprotected in 2027 and 2029, are viewed as extremely valuable assets. pic.twitter.com/3K7KRubufb – 12:10 PM

None of the questionable players — Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert — are on the court as the media is let into Cavs shootaround this morning. – 10:51 AM
Evan Sidery @esidery
The Lakers and Nets already have offers prepared for Donovan Mitchell, if he requests a trade from the Cavaliers this offseason, per @WindhorstESPN on @GetUpESPN.
If Mitchell declines an extension offer from Cleveland, all indications are he will be moved. pic.twitter.com/NhODaw0Efr – 10:35 AM
