LOL it doesn’t take long post-elimination for these stories to come out.

Garland isn’t that good.

If Mitchell extends it would be malpractice for the Cavs to even consider keeping Garland, shouldn’t require some trade demand.

I would 100% trade Garland if it meant keeping Mitchell

Klutch Sports and Rich Paul are such a toxic blight on the game. Parasites.

Feel bad for Cavs fans. They are hurting big time right now and have to put up with crap like this ?

Rich Paul makes Don King look like a class act in comparison. Wish there was legal grounds for the NBA to ban him as a player agent. Grub.

Damn the nerve of this guy. Literal trash can all POs and he’s making demands lol

I agree with this. Clearly then can't work together, but Garland is definitely not a max player right now...

Makes sense and would be best for everyone involved. Not sure what the outrage is

Garland is really good hes a better floor general than mitchell but Mitchell is the overall better player. He wont reach his full potential sharing the ball w/ mitchell. This situation is akin to vince and tracy or kidd and nash. I think he would be great fit on the spurs.

That's cute, but read the tea leaves.

This is Rich and Bron putting pressure on Cleveland to trade DMitch possibly to the Lakers. We all know Mitchell is not staying in Cleveland.

They just making sure Mitchell ask out and using Garland as the fall guy if somehow he does stay in Cleveland. Mitchell sitting out the last 2 games and Bron and Rich at the game.

Talks have already been made behind closed doors. I know LeBron and Rich they always move 2 steps ahead. Mitchell will probably somehow be a Lakers.

Hopefully Evan asks out too before DM turns him into another garbageman...

Klutch really wants Mitchell on the Lakers

My exact thought lol

Like good, this is what we want. The fit is terrible.

Look at you hating on an agency and not the actual player they work for and whose orders they follow, so easily manipulated. Klutch earning their fee with the heat they draw away from their clients.

I think it makes sense. Garlands good enough to be the PG of his own team. The defensive fit is a bit clunky and he can't seem to get going or be as dangerous off-ball.

Cleveland in a tough spot. Donovan doesn't have to extend. I would ask him to extend this off-season and if not I would look at moving on because you don't want to risk losing him for nothing and having another year trying Garland at the 2

Obviously Mitchell isn't extending and he never was. I don't get the point of this.

Good call. The hilarious thing is that won’t move the needle at all to get LA back to the WCF.

Look at you guys now making garland a victim, a pawn in his own career moves

Klutch is so good at keeping their clients hands clean

Garland for Ingram seems like a perfect match.

Yeah it's weird this is coming out because it seems like all parties would see the sense in the situation.

It's possible that Garland's agent did this cluelessly, but most likely thing seems to be that the Cavs are at least telling Garland that they still think that a Mitchell/Garland back court is going to work, but Garland's alright concluded it isn't.

And I have to say, fit should have always been a major concern when considering acquiring Mitchell to pair with Garland, and it really doesn't seem like it was. Which is kinda bizarre when you remember that Garland didn't break out and earn his max deal until Sexton got injured.
