on october 1, beijing time, the cleveland cavaliers held a media day for the new season, and donovan mitchell was interviewed.

mitchell said: "i believe that when we stay healthy, we are a team with the ability to compete for the championship, but unfortunately, we have never had a fully healthy lineup in the past two years, and the biggest challenge now is keeping every piece of the puzzle healthy while also allowing the team to have a better run-in on the court. you can't just put a team together and expect to go straight to the finals. that's a difficult thing. we have to move forward. just keep going and find a way to compete at the highest level and win.”

regarding new coach kenny atkinson, mitchell said: "i am familiar with kenny and what he brings - player development and how to make a team better, and i feel that it will be good for us. "looking at how he leads the team, especially what i've seen in the past month, you can feel his passion and energy, but also see his experience and strategy." (nba official website)
