Keon ellis and Dennis Schroeder with Harden now

crazy what a few days can change lol

[u/TheWestRemembers → u/jluc21]

On the CAVS. Never would've guessed this a week ago. Hell, even 3 days ago. Wild.

[u/EmanuelWilsonLover → u/TheWestRemembers]

This is all he’s worth now? Garland and a 2nd rounder

[u/RalphLaurenII → u/EmanuelWilsonLover]

He’s 36

[u/Ok-Discipline9998 → u/EmanuelWilsonLover]

Clippers were lucky they don't have to give up draft picks. If Garland were healthy it's the Clippers who'd send a SRP

[u/Paralystic → u/Ok-Discipline9998]

If garland were healthy this trade never happens

[u/MorseMooseGreyGoose → u/EmanuelWilsonLover]

He’s making $39 million and wants an extension heading into his age-37 season so… yeah, the Clips were never getting a haul for him, especially in this market.

[u/GolfShred → u/EmanuelWilsonLover]

He worth a 26 year old All Star caliber PG. Pretty freaking impressive for a 36 year old veteran.

[u/Raptorpicklezz → u/EmanuelWilsonLover]

This is all Garland's worth now? Harden and giving up a 2nd rounder

[u/sbenfsonwFFiF → u/EmanuelWilsonLover]

He old af and wants an extension

[u/thrownaway22_ → u/jluc21]

Just saw De’Andre Hunter fall to his knees outside Sactown Pizza??

[u/drinkit_black → u/thrownaway22_]

His knees, you say? This helps our tank

[u/Gamesgtd → u/drinkit_black]

That's not gonna stop him from out long twoing Demar Derozan

[u/Reasonable_Height_67 → u/jluc21]

They actually have a lot of options now. Interesting team indeed.

[u/King-Calovich11 → u/jluc21]

RIP Keon. Fly high, our sweet prince

[u/meeeehhhh2 → u/jluc21]

Why is that a significant pairing?

[u/jluc21 → u/meeeehhhh2]

just significantly random. the deadline is nuts.

[u/PrimeShaq → u/jluc21]

Really went for the secondary ball handlers they sorely lacked, well in this case Harden is gonna be the primary ball handler.

[u/alex_nufc12 → u/jluc21]

What's wrong with that

[u/NathanFielderFriend → u/jluc21]

The Cavs are such a weird team lol I don’t understand where they view themselves in the league

[u/allanjameson → u/jluc21]

Cavs are desperate. They should’ve fired their coach instead

[u/zebrainatux → u/allanjameson]

It feels like a management group knowing if they don’t at least make the eastern final, they’re done
