[Sidery] Klutch Sports will indeed meet with the Cavaliers this offseason to facilitate Darius Garland being traded, if Donovan Mitchell decides to stay, @WindhorstESPN confirmed on @ESPNCleveland. The Mitchell/Garland backcourt is on their way to being split up.

Well, I’m not surprised, but it sucks either way. Best of luck DG.
This combined with the Cavs “thank you fans” tweet not featuring DG or JA is making it seem more and more likely that Mitchell stays and we build around he and Mobley
It’s probably for the best but it still will be bittersweet to see DG go
Good luck DG if that means we keep a superstar. Just please don’t have Ingram as a target 😭
So people were debating between him and sexton, now it just Mitchell
I hope we don’t rush into it, even if there’s truth to this. I still think there’s a world these two thrive together with a new coach (I am less optimistic about our frontcourt fit).
If the right deal comes along, sure. Otherwise, he’s under contract for a while and up to this season seemed pretty happy. More worthwhile to play it out than trade him for 0.75 on the dollar.
So the team’s ability to start making moves this off season will be held hostage by Mitchell’s decision? Hey wait, I’ve seen this one meme.

Not all that long ago….
Front office really better get this one right.
Really don’t get this unless LeBron is coming back. Enjoyed seeing DG’s growth, and that’s coming from someone who was open to trading him after his rookie season.
jeremy sochan come on down
Is anyone else tired of talking so much about fit?
I get it. The fit isn’t ideal, especially on defense.
But DG is a point guard. A real point guard makes the whole team better, period.
And if he gets more talent on the floor with him, all the better.
DG has to bounce back from injury and evolve his game. Period. And he needs a new coach.
I feel way more confident in DG and Mitchell playing together than I do with keeping JB and trading DG.
Too much smoke at this point to disregard. Mitchell has made it apparent he wants to be the guy here. Mixed feelings I like DG but Mitchell is a dawg and way more dynamic.
Sad to say goodbye to a talented player we drafted and developed. But it makes a lot more sense to build around Mitchell. Hopefully we get a good return for DG in a trade and he gets to be the focal point of an offense somewhere.
End of an era, but one of them has to go if we want to build a team that can truly contend 💔
I hope DG succeeds whether he stays or goes. That said, it seems like the best decision to move on from him if it means keeping Mitchell.
DG is my favorite player in the league, this sucks. him blossoming during the rebuild was so fun to watch. felt like him and mobley were gonna be cavs for a long time
Man this puts all the pressure in the world on Mitchell.
Looks like the Cavs bailed on one of the best young cores in the game to bet on him. I dont know how it winds up, but second round outs won’t cut it movint forward.
Not ready emotionally.
One of my grudges with JB coaching this season is that we could not see the core 4 with a good offensive coach. I hoped we could see that, but maybe we don’t
The most likely scenario is that Donovan doesn’t re-sign this offseason choosing to wait until he’s a FA and then we end up trading him to a big market. We keep DG and Mobley and tbd on what happens with Jarrett
There is zero reason for DG to be threatening anyone about a trade right now considering the massive disappointment he was this season.
You’re being paid max money. You’ll stay if we want you to stay, we’ll move you if the right deal comes along.
Demanding out after his play—I don’t think so.
We really missed trading for PJ Washington
DG for LBJ
If we trade DG for 1 year of Brandon Ingram I’m gonna stop watching basketball
Spurs get: Darius Garland
Nets get: Keldon Johnson, Zach Collins, #4 and #8
Cavs get: Mikal Bridges
This team believed in Garland more than anyone and he wants out badly lmao
It’s a moot point if they don’t extend Mitchell.
Edit: if Mitchell doesn’t extend the Cavs will run them both next year. If Mitchell leaves after next year, they’ll need Garland. Of course, there is always a trade deadline deal next year with Mitchell/ Garland(or maybe even both!) if that happens.
Pain 🙁
