The Cleveland Cavaliers stunned the NBA on Thursday, trading three unprotected first-round picks, two swaps, Colin Sexton (via sign-and-trade), Lauri Markkanen and first-round selection Ochai Agbaji to the Utah Jazz for All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell.'
The move sent shockwaves through the league as most league sources expected the Knicks to end up with the All-Star guard once the Jazz made it known they would deal the 25-year-old. New York had explored deals for several weeks, but the Knicks' signing of RJ Barrett to a massive extension was seen by some as a shot in negotiations to try and strong arm the Jazz.'
Utah traded Mitchell to the Cavs the same day the Knicks announced the Barrett extension.'
So, how should we bet in the aftermath of another titanic NBA offseason trade?
