[Sidery] Some teams have indicated they would prefer pursuing Darius Garland over Trae Young, per @JakeLFischer (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yah…). If Garland hits the trade market, dependent upon Donovan Mitchell’s decision, the Cavaliers could return serious value.

Meanwhile nephews in here are proposing trades where we get role players for Garland+
I don’t want DG to leave 🙁
Klutch is out in full force
This should be more obvious to fans. Garland’s “stock” is low, but GMs will point to having to cede to Mitchell and deal with JB’s lack of an offense and assume they can get a lot more out of him in a better situation. It also means that even if you’re bidding against others, the price may be more reasonable for what you get in return.
Young is who he is. That’s not bad, but you go into it knowing you have to either rebuild your team around him, or hope he fits with what you already have. Plus Atlanta will be asking for a ton in return.
Rich Paul special. That being said I have no animosity towards DG and hope he finds somewhere to thrive
If you were the Spurs what would you want? A point guard who takes shots from Wemby or one that enables Wemby?
If you were DG what would you want? Be coached by JB and enable Allen, or be coached by Popovich and enable Wemby?
Probably some agency posturing here, but a lot of this fanbase is massively undervaluing what DG’s trade value would be. It’s the exact same thing that happened last year with JA, when many on here thought that he had no trade value going into the off-season
Cavs don’t need serious value. Cavs need a proper all around forward that doesn’t get injured. Mikal Bridges is probably perfect. Not sure about Ingram because hes not a shooter and hes constantly injured.
Should be able to get a nice package
This is looking more and more like chess pieces being moved for LeBron’s return. I’m willing to bet on it.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Garland, Allen and others in a 3 team trade to get LeBron back in Cleveland.
LeBron had dinner with Gilbert and they discussed his desire to retire as a Cavs and play with Bronny.
This seems like a lebron rich paul move where the get the perfect trade wing and then lebron signs on a stacked roster
