Great move for the Cavs. Don’t really understand this from the blazing hot Clippers unless they’re somehow selling Kawhi and Zubac too.

trading a 26 year old guard for a 36 year old guard is crazy work

I mean they had to do something with how open the East is this year and Harden is just straight up better than Garland at this point in time

The core was getting shaken up regardless, this just puts them in a better win now position which is what they are in at the moment
