The Houston Rockets are monitoring the potential availability of Donovan Mitchell should he decide not to sign an extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers, sources tell Kelly Iko of The Athletic.
The Rockets are believed to be more interested in a star of Mitchell's quality rather than other potentially available players such as Brandon Ingram and Mikal Bridges.
The Rockets are well-positioned to make a major trade with their rostered young players and future draft capital, both in terms of their own picks and those belonging to the Brooklyn Nets. The Rockets also own the No. 3 overall pick in this year's draft via the Nets.
Mitchell can become a free agent in 2025 and has most strongly been linked with the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat if he ends up not signing long-term with the Cavaliers.

If I am Cleveland, I‘d listen. But what can they realistically offer…

I'm sure any deal would involve Jalen Green which I am unsure Cleveland would take.

A 3-way might make sense. Framework would be: Mitchell to Houston, Green + Nets picks to Brooklyn, Bridges to Cleveland

Those nets picks would have to go to cleveland for them to give up mitchell, and Brooklyn clearly ain't trading bridges anyway.

Bridges makes more sense for the Rockets more than the DMitch to the Rockets.

Gotta think the Cavs would be more comfortable trading Donovan Mitchell for Jalen Green instead of Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr.
