00:00Donovan Mitchell signing a three-year, $150.3 million extension to remain in the land.

00:10There were some questions in Cleveland after firing JB Bickerstaff when the Cavs were bounced

00:16in the second round by the Celtics.

00:18What would Spider's future be in the land?

00:21They hire Kenny Atkinson as the head coach last week.

00:24They re-signed Donovan Mitchell yesterday.

00:27What does this mean for Cleveland and Donovan Mitchell's future, trying to contend for an

00:31Eastern Conference crowd?

00:33Well, number one, he signed a three-year extension with the ability, I think, to make a five-year

00:38supermax again in a couple of years, so he kind of did like a medium-term deal to get

00:42long-term security down the road.

00:44Simply put, he's not going anywhere.

00:46I think he honestly, Ben, I think he looked at the hiring of Kenny Atkinson, and he looked

00:50at Colby Altman, the GM, and said, what are we going to do to improve this team?

00:54Now, obviously, with Donovan Mitchell coming back, you squarely look at his backcourt mate

00:58Darius Garland, who basically said at the end of the season, if Donovan comes back,

01:02I want out.

01:03So let's see what happens in regards to Darius Garland, who is another clutch sports guy.

01:07Let's see if he gets moved.

01:08And then you go to the center position with Jared Allen and Evan Mobley.

01:11You know me, guys.

01:12I've been back and forth on this.

01:13But when I saw that Game 5 performance at Evan Mobley, I saw enough.

01:18You can build this team around Evan Mobley and, obviously, Donovan Mitchell.

01:22You can then use the other two guys to address some of your other deficiencies.

01:26I still think, I keep saying it, Brandon Ingram for Jared Allen.

01:30Make the trade.

01:31It works for both teams.

01:32New Orleans needs a center, and then you can put B.I. as that, you know, power forward

01:37stretch for.

01:38Cleveland, yes, they're still behind a bunch of these teams in the east.

01:42I do think that they are probably better than Miami.

01:45We'll see about Orlando.

01:46And in regards, really quick, Indiana 30-1.

01:50I feel like it's just gross disrespect for a team that went to the Eastern Conference

01:54Finals.

01:55Brandon, they can't defend worth a lick.

01:57But if they figure out their defensemen and they can score, that is a value at 30-1 right

02:03now.
