NBA Rumors: Cleveland Cavaliers Star Still Has His Eyes Set On The Big Apple

The Cleveland Cavaliers were thoroughly outplayed by the New York Knicks in their first-round series over the past week, and that happened despite the addition of Donovan Mitchell in the off-season, who was meant to take this team over the top.

There's been no secret made of the fact that Mitchell is a New York native, and was almost traded to the Knicks in the off-season before Cleveland, and it's now been revealed by people close to Spida that his eyes are still firmly set on the Knicks, and will pursue a move home whenever possible.

“From everyone I’ve talked to, he wants to go to New York”

Mitchell currently has three years left on his contract, and will be 29-years old when that expires, and unless he gets traded first, it appears that when he hits free agency, he'll be Knicks bound.
