Donovan Mitchell Card Sales Up 458% Since Trade To Cavaliers

The trade making headlines over the last week involving Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland Cavaliers has sports card collectors believing great things are ahead for the Cleveland Cavs and their future. Pairing him up with the bright class of rookies they have on their roster might push them quite a bit further into the playoffs this year, with Evan Mobley and Darius Garland, this might be a fun trio to watch this year. With LeBron James, and Kyrie Irving at his side being the only person in history to bring the Cavaliers an NBA Championship in 2016, and all hope lost for the team after his departure, we are sure Cleveland fans are pretty happy with the pick-up, even though they gave away 3 potential building blocks for the future.

Donovan Mitchell has averaged nearly 24 points along with 4.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists with the Utah Jazz, who are currently in rebuilding mode traded him away for 3 future draft picks, and Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Agbaji. Mitchell has made the All-Star team for the last 3 seasons in a row.
