This time, it was Clevelands current superstar, Donovan Mitchell, weighing in on the matter.Mitchell told SiriusXM NBA Radio that being a teammate with James would be special, but that isnt his focus right now.Mitchells entire quote can be read below:As a Bron fan, to be able to be a teammate, that would obviously be special, but thats not something in my control. I control what we got here. Theres always going to be reports, thats natural, its gonna be a thing. At the end of the day, to your point, my main focus right now is trying to get this championship. And whatever it happens, it happens. Like, thats not up to me, thats not up to anybody else in the locker room. So Im big on believing what I can control. But yeah, its LeBron James, right? At the end of the day, thats not my focus. Im not here to worry about that. I know Im gonna get asked about that a bunch all weekend, but my focus is [with the current team]. We just traded for James Harden, Dennis Schroder, Keon Ellis, I would say, Lets try to find a way to get a ring, and go from there."Its LeBron James, right?"Heres Donovan Mitchells thoughts on the rumors that LeBron could finish his career in Cleveland@TermineRadio | @Jumpshot8Click here for more All-Star coverage https://t.co/j3RPgmlH7epic.twitter.com/lm2My2U5HQ SiriusXM NBA Radio (@SiriusXMNBA) February 15, 2026Support us and Let Em Know with Homage!Anything bought from the links helps support Fear the Sword.

This isnt something that he can control, and this Cavs team is good enough to win a championship this season with how open the Eastern Conference is.At the same time, its also worth acknowledging that Mitchell seems open to it based on what hes said here and the fact that hes made it no secret that he grew up rooting for LeBron. And there have already been rumors that Mitchell and Harden have started recruiting LeBron back home.There would be something poetic about Mitchell who was one of the children in attendance at The Decision in 2010 potentially leading a championship-level Cavaliers team with James 17 years later.Well see how this all plays out. The team would need to make plenty of roster moves before James could sign with the Cavs for a third stint. However, if both Mitchell and LeBron want this reunion to take place, the Cavs will undoubtedly find a way to make it all work.
