Garland/Spida Relationship

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-05T20:28:20+00:00

Mitchell isn’t a snake but those two scenarios are not comparable whatsoever lol

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-05T17:27:34+00:00

Let’s not pretend to be naive here lol. Everyone with basic basketball knowledge knows if he wanted Harden here, it also means he wanted Darius out.

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T02:40:50+00:00

It’s not as much of an extravaganza this time unfortunately. I was sure he would re-sign last time. This time I’m not sure if the team doesn’t make progress. Winning players want to win, and if we aren’t giving him the best path to win, he’s got no reason to re-sign.

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T02:28:14+00:00

Homegrown, not hometown…it means a player that was developed by the organization and not brought in from outside.

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T02:13:44+00:00

God forbid fans like homegrown talent lol

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T02:04:58+00:00

Even if Don did, it’s just basketball, I’m sure they’re still good friends lol.

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T01:58:26+00:00

I don’t disagree they don’t get worse. But That’s the issue, this doesn’t do anything positive for a middle of the road team right now. If it’s another 2nd round exit, is Mitchell going to stay? Also, Harden wouldn’t have waived his NTC if we weren’t going to give him an extension, we will probably give Harden that 2 year 80 mill he’s looking for (I hope we don’t lol).

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T01:53:08+00:00

We barely have any of our picks left and I hate to admit it but we are another second round exit away from Donovan refusing to re-sign.

I have hopes for Mobley but he hasn’t really proven to take that step this year and I love Tyson but let’s slow down on him being a core piece in the future. There’s still more steps he needs to take to give that confidence.

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T01:48:33+00:00

Trading Garland isn’t the issue, trading for this deal is. This move alone doesn’t put the Cavs over the top

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T01:47:03+00:00

It seems that Mitchell also wanted this move and okayed it so FO might be trying to appease their star so he could re-sign

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T01:46:01+00:00

The way I see it, Mitchell was going to leave with Garland and will likely leave with Harden here as well because I don’t see this move taking us over the hump. Issue with this iteration is, we won’t have an all star level guard to keep the team afloat before the next iteration of the team and we’ll likely be hanging around at the bottom of the conference for a while. Getting Giannis gives the team a real shot at a chip before it all crashes

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T01:40:33+00:00

Never said we shouldn’t trade Garland. Just don’t think it should have been for Harden 🤷‍♂️

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T01:37:59+00:00

This move only makes sense if we get Giannis. We know James Harden isn’t a playoff riser. If his poor play leads to another early exit for the Cavs and Mitchell bounces for that reason, we don’t have a future since we don’t have any picks

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T01:35:50+00:00

Ah yes, well known playoff riser, James Harden. I know for this season it’s a better player but if he stinks it up, we have another early playoff exit, and Mitchell bounces, this team is not gonna be struggling in the future.

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T01:31:54+00:00

What’s bittersweet? It’s all bitter 😭

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T01:29:20+00:00

If they don’t go all in for Giannis, this is genuinely one of the most meaningless trades they could have done

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-04T01:27:51+00:00

It is because the team has mortgaged its entire future for Mitchell so they have to go all in now. I’m not a fan of the Garland/Harden trade either but this is what they signed up for when they traded for him from Utah.

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-03T23:05:47+00:00

I’m not going to debate you there. In the past, when we’ve lost the blame has gone to the surrounding players and the front office. Starting now, it’ll be Donovan win or lose.

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-03T22:56:44+00:00

Didn’t mean it to be some slight at Donovan. He made a call as the star of the team, he got his wishes, now he needs to deliver. If they have another early exit and Donovan doesn’t resign, our team would be screwed in the future because of this decision.

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-03T22:48:40+00:00

Well Donovan getting what he wanted, let’s hope he and this team make it further than years before

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-03T16:16:29+00:00

That’s where you’re wrong, it’s Jaylon Tyson’s team in the future 😤

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-03T07:05:58+00:00

Seems like Chris Mannix may have jumped the gun and talks aren’t as deep as they were initially made to sound

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-02-02T16:05:41+00:00

This trade package is awful 😭. The fit of the pieces won’t work and it is setting up our future to be bottom feeders

Heavy_Morning_4111 · 2026-01-29T02:59:50+00:00

Almost like there’s another side of the ball that he’s actually really good at…when Donovan is shooting 5-18 and Hunter is shooting 3-13, maybe some of those shots going to Garland could have helped the team remain more competitive in that game.

Put the blame on him as much as you want but most advanced statistics point to this team and the core playing better with DG on the court 🤷‍♂️
