Miami would be paying more for potential than production, obviously, but it'd also avoid the risk of his salary skyrocketing in 2026 restricted free agency. Contract projections point toward a reasonable wager right now. A four-year contract in the $60 million range has been floated a few times. If he's anything like the player he's been overseas, that pay rate could prove a massive bargain.

Days before entering restricted free agency for the first time, Davion Mitchell is set to sign a two-year, $24 million deal to return to the Miami Heat.
