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.
