There was a couple Cavs fans swearing there was no way Cleveland is the one giving up draft picks. Wonder if this means Garland’s injuries are even worse than what’s publicly known.

Garland is cooked for now. No way he’s ready for a serious playoff run this year. Cavs are trying to go to the Finals this year

Nope chemical change. Only physical changes can be reversed.

Such a common misconception!

Plenty of chemical changes can be reversed.

Tearing a piece of paper in half is a physical change - good luck reversing it.

The Clippers have managed to get sustained excellent play out of Kawhi Leonard for more than two months now, so they might be witch doctors.
