What would you give for Garland ?

[Iwasawitness]

If Atlanta calls Cleveland this off season and says “we will offer Trae Young for Garland” the Cavs say yes

But if Memphis calls and says “we will offer Ja Morant for Darius Garland” the Cavs say no

Why would Cleveland say yes to that?

[fanofthegreats]

He doesn’t really move any needle

[JujitsuFlip]

Before we get heavy into this discussion, can a few Cleveland fans (that are level headed and realistic) that are in-tuned with the Cavaliers finances tell us what they might be looking for?

Positions?
Archetype?
Salary range?
Depth?
Picks?

Well, they're a 2nd apron team, so there's that. They do not control their own 1st round pick until 2030.

But i doubt they actually entertain any phone calls for him.

[levon]

At that pricepoint and physical build, he only fits on a team that doesn't have a starting point guard. So like basically Orlando and that's it.

Someone here mentioned a swap of Garland & Franz Wagner could be really interesting both fans may hate it. Unfortunately it doesn't solve Cleveland's depth issue due to how expensive this team is

Magic fans coming for your ass

[Tracymcgoaty]

Lebron for Garland lets do it.

[Saul Goodman]

Suggs for Garland makes a lot of sense for both teams



For the Raptors I’d do Barrett and quickly for Garland

[JujitsuFlip]

Zion Williamson.

Gross.

Yes, it's a Knicks fan who always suggests it.

Franz solves nothing for the Cavs.

He is a 4 who can't shoot. He plays the same position as Mobley. He'd have to play outta position again because Banchero currently has him out of position too.

Who would you trade for Garland ?

DLo straight up

[Chuck Everett]

I kind of consider him to be a fake all-star. Just like Herro. You move either guy to the West and they never make all-star teams again. He's a good player, but I am just not a fan.

Eh, idk if you can call a 2x All-Star 'fake'. The guy is a good regular season performer.

[jtan08]

Player like nembhard will help cavs. A slightly bigger guard who can defend and take on ball handling duties.

If Atlanta calls Cleveland this off season and says “we will offer Trae Young for Garland” the Cavs say yes

But if Memphis calls and says “we will offer Ja Morant for Darius Garland” the Cavs say no

Why would the Cavs want Young? You get older, ever smaller and worse defensively, and get MORE hero-ball from the guards, FURTHER freezing out their bigs. Stuff that...

You really said older in the case of 26 vs. 25 right now.

Here’s a sentence to illustrate a point.

One is a future HoFer and the other is Darius Garland.

Trae solves nothing for the Cavs though. You're just getting a worse shooting, worse defense, same Ast:TO ratio at a higher volume, smaller, more expensive player.

Trae Young is actually the opposite of what the Cavs need.

1. Trae isn't a future HOF.

2. He doesn't solve Cleveland's problems. If anything he makes them worse.

25-10 career averages, name someone that averaged that for a career that isn’t HoF

It’s ok to admit you don’t watch the Hawks. There’s a big difference in what Trae Young can do with a competent big man vs. Clint Capela and Okongwu. He had John Collins averaging 21 for a season

[toooskies]

The Cavs might prefer a PG or other playmaker who doesn’t get targeted in the playoffs. Derrick White might be the closest thing to what Cleveland might want. Suggs or Jrue Holiday might not be enough.

Everyone can use more elite wings so a Franz or Trey Murphy would start a conversation.

The Cavs are above the 2nd apron so any aggregation deal requires the Cavs to cut at least $15m, more if they want to retain Jerome or Merrill.

The logistics make any deal unlikely.

I don't have to, i watch the Cavs and I know a worst shooting and worst defender version of Garland is not what the Cavs need...
