Donovan Mitchell Would Like Cavs To Keep Jarrett Allen

Jarrett Allen has been mentioned in trade rumors this summer. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers are reluctant to trade Allen.

One reason Cleveland isn’t jumping on trading their starting center is that star guard Donovan Mitchell is a fan of Allen. Mitchell has been described as not wanting to lose Allen as a teammate.

Cleveland is expected to offer a Mitchell a four-year, max extension as soon as they are able to this offseason. Part of those extension discussions may then turn to roster construction, potentially including Allen’s long-term fit.
