Cavaliers Must Choose Between Darius Garland Or Donovan Mitchell

After getting bounced in the second round of the postseason, many reports have come out involving the Cleveland Cavaliers and their players; the biggest one so far is Darius Garland’s frustration and forcing Cleveland into a corner.

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Garland’s agent, Rich Paul, will be speaking with the organization about a potential trade if Donovan Mitchell is extended. It’s believed they want the front office to choose between Mitchell or Garland.

It’s been evident that the backcourt combination of Garland and Mitchell has not been working, since Garland’s role/production has altered since acquiring him in 2022, and now it’ll cause Cleveland to make a franchise-changing move.

Mitchell is eligible for a four-year extension worth around $208 million. For Garland, he has three years left on his $197 million contract – it doesn’t expire until 2028-29.

Marcus Morris Expected To Sign With Either Sixers Or Cavaliers

According to multiple reports, Marcus Morris has finalized his selection to either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Philadelphia 76ers. Both teams had him on their roster last season.

As Morris heads into his 14th season, the 34-year-old can either re-sign with Cleveland or return to Philly. Either way, he wants a contract that isn’t centered around money but on a meaningful role.

In 37 games with Philly, Morris averaged 6.7 points and 2.9 rebounds. In 12 games with Cleveland, Morris averaged 5.8 points and 2.1 rebounds.

Darius Garland Breaks Silence, Says He Isn't Leaving Cleveland

According to the man himself, Darius Garland isn’t going anywhere, Cleveland. The Cavaliers will continue to have the duo of Donovan Mitchell and Garland.

Despite reports and rumors about how dysfunctional the locker room was and management having to pick between Mitchell and Garland, the reality is the complete opposite. In fact, Garland has publicly said he doesn’t want a trade.

“I don’t want to be traded,” Garland said. “Those are just rumors.” This is a positive day for the state of Ohio, as he’s met with General Manager Koby Altman, and a topic about trade requests never came up.

According to multiple reports, Garland is happy about Cleveland’s hiring of new head coach, Kenny Atkinson. That is a huge plus, as well.
