A surprising trade in the best league in the world.
Donovan Mitchell, who was safely on his way to the Big Apple, was sent a few minutes ago in a trade from Utah to Cleveland.
According to the reports, the Cubs agreed to send Colin Sexton, Ochai Agbaji, Lauri Markkanen and three unprotected first round picks in exchange.
The transition is quite surprising because until the last few days in the USA there were many reports that the Utah Jazz continue to seriously consider a trade for the star of the team, who was already on his way to the New York Knicks.

As you remember, the Knicks offered Obi Taupin, Evan Fournier, another player for the purpose of comparing salaries and five first round picks, 2 of which are unprotected in exchange for the big star of the Jazz, but general manager Danny Ainge decided to politely decline the offer.
In recent days, it was reported that the Knicks' unwillingness to include Quentin Grimes in the deal, and a disagreement regarding the number of first-round picks, prevented the deal.
The 25-year-old Mitchell was selected 13th overall in the 2017 draft by Utah, and has been selected to the All-Star Game in the last three years.
