Donovan Mitchell Agrees: Loyalty in Sports is 'Overrated Business'

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell agreed with teammate James Harden's assertion that loyalty in sports is overrated, emphasizing that it's fundamentally a business. Mitchell expressed respect for Harden's honesty and related to the sentiment, drawing on his own experiences with the Utah Jazz where team dynamics can change rapidly. He noted the constant tension between a player's desire to maximize earnings and the business decisions teams make. Mitchell is currently listed with +15000 odds for the 2026 NBA MVP award.
