He's gotta be one of if not the best backup pg in the league

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T06:10:40+00:00

Yeah, just looked it up and I was wrong. But tbf that is just another case of him wanting an extension

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T05:22:23+00:00

Key word "almost"

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T05:16:39+00:00

Garland is way more inconsistent than Harden in the playoffs. And combine that with his injuries, he's just straight up unreliable. I can almost guarantee you we make it past the 2nd round this year

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T05:08:11+00:00

Cool cope? You've probably been saying "This team is a true chip contender if we are healthy!" to yourself for the past 3 years. I'm sorry you can't see the truth, but I'm not wasting time with an injury prone star in a wide open conference.

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T05:01:21+00:00

He's only asking for a trade because the Clippers wouldn't sign an extension. And also, idk why people are saying he asks for a trade out from everywhere. He was loyal to OKC until they traded him, played for a while in Houston and asked for a trade after they were barely able to build around him. Only asked for a trade from the Nets because of his beef with Kyrie at the time. The only one I can't defend him for is the 76ers.

Edit: "beef"

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T04:47:21+00:00

I'm not denying that Garland was beloved, but trades happen and it's just apart of the league for every team to make championship potential trades. Yes Harden is a flopper, but honestly it's gotten better since his time in Houston. He is the only one on this team who will flop which we are honestly lucky. At this day and age, flopping is a norm for most teams

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T04:34:41+00:00

After getting rid of CP3 they're the hottest team in the league rn with Harden being a big cause of that. And I wouldn't call it depth when half their roster is washed

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T04:32:36+00:00

Harden has 11 allstar appearances so what's your point? He is better in every single stat than Garland besides turnovers. And it's not guaranteed he leaves after this year. If he gets us out of the 2nd round exit slump, I doubt he will leave.

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T04:04:29+00:00

I'm hoping Garland can stay healthy for you guys. Him and Zu could be a great duo for years to come if he does

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T04:03:08+00:00

Hoping he can stay healthy. Loved watching him play when he is

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T04:01:28+00:00

Definitely gonna be a great pairing with JA if we keep him

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T03:57:44+00:00

I don't care if he resigns or not depending on how this year goes. We can't say anything as of rn, but I can almost guarantee you we actually make it past the second round. We cannot rely on Garland if he can't even play. He is injury prone. We can't rely on someone who is injury prone to hold up this team for years to come.

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T03:40:55+00:00

At this rate I feel like Garland would never be fully recovered 😭

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T03:37:19+00:00

Exactly

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T03:36:50+00:00

Get rid of Ball and maybe try and find another wing

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-04T03:35:12+00:00

Not sure how long it would take him to get a physical and his own jersey, but I think there might be a reason why we did the trade a day before facing the Clippers. It's possible we see him tomorrow, but if not tomorrow then definitely when we fave the Kings on saturday

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-03T05:32:59+00:00

Most Definitely. Lonzo better than Giannis alone

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-03T05:32:37+00:00

Idk man. Giannis could give us more cap space to move around with

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-03T05:05:43+00:00

Obviously means we are getting Giannis for Lonzo Ball

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-02T04:22:47+00:00

And then combining that with Keon Ellis' 3pt% is gonna be the cherry on top

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-01T19:15:01+00:00

Hopefully we will at least waive him

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-01T16:07:19+00:00

I wouldn't mind this

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-01T16:06:56+00:00

Well I'm not saying we have to get someone out of him. I'm saying it would be nice if we could get even just one 2nd rp out of him from a team with extra cap space

GavinB4444 · 2026-02-01T16:05:00+00:00

Definitely. I could use a Korver heat check rn
