NBA Trades: 5 Donovan Mitchell destinations this summer – Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are a young, talented team that is currently on the rise in the Eastern Conference. Donovan Mitchell would fit in perfectly with their current core.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are already one of the best duos in the league, so adding another young, All-Star-caliber guard to the mix would only help them improve.
Plus, Mitchell and Brown have made it clear on social media that they are friends. Dating back to their entertaining pictures in the bubble, that has been well-documented.
So if Mitchell does end up asking out of Utah this offseason, don’t be surprised if the Celtics are on his shortlist of teams that he asks to be traded to.
NBA Trades: 5 Donovan Mitchell destinations this summer – New York Knicks
Whenever a big-time superstar ends up requesting a trade, expect the New York Knicks to throw their name in the ring. And realistically, it could be a good fit.
As the Knicks begin a new era (hopefully), putting Mitchell alongside RJ Barrett could create the next great young guard/wing duo in the league.
Would it be enough to carry the Knicks to the promised land? Maybe. But at least New York would get somewhat of a fresh start with a young core.
Mitchell is from New York, too, so there’s always a chance he’d want to play for the team he grew up watching. Mitchell in the Mecca has a nice ring to it.
