Donovan Mitchell Traded To The Cleveland Cavaliers

The terms of the trade dictate that the Jazz is getting three first-round picks, two pick swaps, and three players.

Full trade: Utah is trading Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland for Lauri Markkanen, Ochair Agbaji, Collin Sexton, three unprotected first-round picks and two pick swaps, sources tell ESPN.

Sexton has agreed to a sign-and-trade deal to join Utah, sources said.

Sexton was supposed to be penning a deal with the Cavaliers. However, he has since then agreed to get on board with the Jazz. The team is sizing up in a massive way, which spells bad news for their competitors.

The three players heading off to the Jazz are Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, and Ochair Agbaji. The deal is very fruitful for both the Cavaliers and the Jazz. With Mitchell on board, the Cavaliers are up for making the playoffs.
