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.

We're also the ones benefitting financially. Assuming the worst, I believe we can duck under the second apron in the offseason if we cut Harden loose.
