James Harden traded to Cleveland for Darius Garland/2026 srp

The only attainable player I would get excited for is Ty Jerome.

Cavs fans wanted a FRP for giving up Darius. Clipper fans didn't want to give up any draft capital.

They settled on a SRP, as a compromise.

Happy for Harden...it's not just basketball in Clipper land.

I'd love him on the Rox but he doesn't fit with our style of play at this point. And, Russ desperately wants out of Sac. I think he would work here in a different role and bring necessary toughness and the consistent rebounding we are built on. We were in talks for Dennis +big P/filler but Cleveland beat us out.

James and Spyda, and James giving Mobley and J.A. easy looks immediately elevates the Cavs. They're going to be right there in the ECF.

All I've heard is not keep everything as it is. Minor tweaks as support for the absence of Fred and Stevie

Enter Rob, Jose, Pat ,Ty + the wild card and trading a fan fav.

Orlando is on the clock with redundancy and identity problems. Their bigs are on sale for the right price.
and Memphis is selling it all

Enter Cam and a board favorite in Pip.

Again, this is just what I hear from good folks in the league.

The name that keeps coming up is Jose, followed by GT and 2 guys in Orlando. Cam came up recently , and it makes sense with the departure of JJ

If we stand pat, stone better hope the buy out market is worth it.

I'm just an ear to my friends. Nothing more , nothing less.

Wish you well.

Also...when will we hear wth happened with the Clips/James (all star snubs except for a late KL addition ) and alleged punishment with Aspire (I think that's the company ). Ballmer must be concerned to have let a top 25 guy go for scraps. Garland isn't in the same echelon as James.

So you're telling me we're trading Jabari for Franz Wagner? Hell yeah!!

This was an interesting trade. Maybe Cleveland feels like Garland is declining and their window for this team is over the next two seasons. Harden will definitely improve the spacing. LA seems like they are just hoping Garland regains his 2025 form, but that was all Ott, imo.

Cleveland is primed for a run. They have some of the best randos in the league. Craig Porter, Jaylon Tyson, and Naquan (i dont even know how to spell this one) Tomlin are all really really solid bench players.

Rich Paul, Darius Garland’s agent, says he told Garland before the season: “This is going to be your last season on the Cavs.”
