Ashish Mathur of Hoops Wire outlined last month what a trade sending Mitchell to the Heat could look like.
“[Dan] Gilbert and Koby Altman would look for a lucrative package of multiple draft picks and one or two young players with star potential in a Mitchell trade,” wrote Mathur.
“For example, a source told Hoops Wire that the Cavaliers would ask for Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr. from the Heat in Mitchell trade talks if it gets to that point.”
Also last month, Heat big man Bam Adebayo helped ignite rumors connecting Mitchell to Miami with a post he made on X (previously known as Twitter).
