A divorce from Mitchell and the Cavaliers could lead to greener pastures for Garland, both professionally and financially, but it depends on two things. The first is if Garland and his camp pull the trigger on a trade demand when Mitchell likely ends up re-signing with Cleveland. The second is if the Cavaliers entertain Garland’s demand or instead try to smooth things over, keeping together everything they’ve built up to this point and hoping their next head coach can maximize Garland’s on-court potential alongside Mitchell.
Things will probably come to a head in the coming days, and several league sources shared with Right Down Euclid that if Garland demands a move to an Eastern Conference team, the Orlando Magic, the Brooklyn Nets, the Washington Wizards, and the Toronto Raptors could all enter the conversation. If it expands to the entire NBA, then similar sources shared that the San Antonio Spurs, Minnesota Timberwolves, the Utah Jazz and the New Orleans Pelicans could send Cleveland trade proposals.
Of course, the Cavaliers’ initial problem will be what they can get in return for Garland. A possible trade may have to expand to a multi-team deal for Cleveland to get a star-level return for the star-level talent they’re sending out. That’s where things get messy, and hopefully, for the Cavaliers’ sake, a trade demand doesn’t come from Garland’s camp. Right now, Cleveland has zero intention of trading Garland, and they’d like to keep it that way.

lmao. C’mon that makes no sense. The only person Cleveland would want from us is Scottie. They’ll trade him to Brooklyn for Mikal, or send him to San Antonio.
Hard pass. He would cost way more than I’d be willing to give up for a player like him.
so a bunch of tanking teams and the magic? cmon man. unless hes getting a ton of money that wouldnt happen.
Why are we once again in all these dumb rumours? I thought moving on from OG and Pascal would mean they’d leave us alone in our own little corner of the world for a while
Not the best fit….him to spurs make a lot lot more sense
Quickley provides basically the same production for a cheaper price.
They theoretically have the assets to do so (Gradey/Bruce/FRPs), but it’s not a fit where the Cavs would be competitive wise.
This isn’t even news.
IQ is our PG, Garland would want to start and not be a bench player.
Were in every rumour no matter how little it makes sense. We already have Quickley. We need a 3 and D forward, bench guard and a long term solution at centre that can replace yak. Where does Garland fit
<random reporter> “Player A wants to move. Teams B, C, D, + raptors interested”
<another random reporter> “Team A wants to move player B. Teams C, D, E, and raptors interested”
<another random reporter> “Bronny has received interest from multiple teams including the (you guessed it) Toronto Raptors”
<Toronto Raptors> “we just want to keep winning and optionality”
Having Iq and garland doesn’t make sense
OG for Garland would’ve made sense, now trading for him doesn’t
Lol throw the same rumour up this time last year and everyone would be salivating at the prospect. I’m not immune to it either, but getting talked down by podcast guys doesn’t necessarily make you a bad player. Fit with Quickley is a valid question but you can’t look me in the eye and tell me that Garland/Quick is not an upgrade over quick/dick (hee) or Quick/Trent. Not like defence is at a premium either way.
