If Cleveland is trading him it's because he wouldn't sign an extension with them. Why would he sign an extension with the Pels if he wouldn't with the Cavs?

No extension = Low offer from Griff. Most of the competitors appear to be markets he would stay in long term, so they can go further than the Pels if Mitchell doesn't agree to an extension, which I don't think he would if he's actually being traded.

Nobody knows other than the rumors that are floating around. That's why teams will need to find out what he wants and his value will be directly proportional to the cost. And that will play a large role in how teams approach the risks of pursuing him or not.

Would seem obvious to most. Pretty logical.

I don’t know the answer to this, but signing an extension doesn’t mean anything in today’s climate. Even if he signs an extension, if he isn’t happy after a year he’ll just ask to be traded.
