Donovan Mitchell on relationship with Rudy Gobert as Jazz players: We weren’t our most mature selves

With this Cavs team, however, Mitchell is finding something that previously eluded him, what he calls “a sense of peace.” “For years, everybody’s been talking about whether I like Rudy or talking about me going to the New York Knicks or the Miami Heat,” he said. “So it’s nice to finally have that sense of peace.” He’s in a dressing room that seems to like each other universally. He has surrounded himself with friends and family. And most importantly for him and the Cavaliers, Mitchell is playing some of the best basketball of his career. “Ideally, if I can paint a picture, I would win a championship at some point in the next five years,” he said. “It’s hard to win championships. It’s hard to win in this league. Despite public opinion, I love being in Cleveland and I want to win a title with this group.” -via New York Times / 24 December 2024
