Acquired from the Utah Jazz, Mitchell has
All-Star credentials and makes for a stellar backcourt sidekick
for another All-Star, Darius Garland.
Books reacted instantly to the move on Thursday, with PointsBet
lifting the Cavaliers' 2022-23 NBA title odds from +8000 to
+3300 and DraftKings elevated Cleveland from 55-1 to 30-1 in the
immediate aftermath of the news breaking.
The Cavaliers and Bulls are -110 to participate in the Eastern
Conference play-in game in futures odds released by DraftKings.
Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen and rookie Ochai Agbaji and three
unprotected first-round picks go to the Jazz in the reported
deal. Utah is downgraded dramatically in an offseason that looks
a lot like a teardown by second-year team president Danny Ainge.
Ainge parted ways with head coach Quin Snyder -- technically,
Snyder's contract wasn't renewed -- and traded Defensive Player
of the Year Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
BetMGM removed the Cavaliers from the futures bets market on
Thursday but previously listed Cleveland at +6600.
DraftKings dropped the Jazz from +20000 to +40000 without
Mitchell.
