Donovan Mitchell: 'Playing with LeBron in Cleveland would be special'

Donovan Mitchell acknowledges that sharing the court with LeBron James in Cleveland would be fascinating, yet the Cavaliers star insists his sole priority remains winning. Speaking to SiriusXM NBA Radio, Mitchell admitted that while teaming up with the legend would be special, the decision lies outside his control. He focuses entirely on the current roster and chasing a championship.

Speculation regarding James leaving the Lakers is intensifying as his career nears its end, with Cleveland emerging as a potential destination. Rumors suggest Mitchell and new acquisition James Harden might attempt to recruit the 41-year-old. With LeBron’s contract expiring, his future remains uncertain, especially as Los Angeles builds around Luka Doncic.

While fans dream of a storybook homecoming, Mitchell stays grounded. With a 34-21 record, he emphasized that despite the noise, his focus is integrating Harden, Schroder, and Ellis to secure a title rather than worrying about external free agency hypotheticals.
