""My agent always asked me, 'Where would you want to go if you could choose?' I always say Miami because the way they play. Everyone plays exactly how I play: Extremely hard, you don't care who scores all the points, you just play hard. You try to play the right way and I knew I'd fit here so easy. I knew as soon as I got traded, I'm like, 'Oh, I'm going to fit here easy.' I knew immediately I was going to fit.""
""In the final year of his contract at the time, Mitchell blossomed. In 30 games with Miami, he averaged 10.3 points, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals, shooting an absurd 44.7 percent from 3-point range and 50.4 percent from the floor. Mitchell, 27, re-signed with the Heat days before free agency, signing a two-year, $24 million deal. The deal was reasonable for both sides. The 6-foot-2 guard can cash in on a greater deal with bird rights in two seasons, while the Heat are only paying Mitchell roughly 7.5 percent of the cap in both seasons.""
Davion Mitchell joined the Miami Heat and immediately matched the team's intense, unselfish style of play. In 30 games with Miami he averaged 10.3 points, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 44.7 percent from three and 50.4 percent overall. Mitchell re-signed with the Heat on a two-year, $24 million contract that keeps his cap hit around 7.5 percent per season and preserves bird rights for a potentially larger future payday. The fit allowed Mitchell to thrive in his role and gave the Heat a cost-effective rotation guard who excels defensively and as a shooter.
