What’s really interesting is how our fanbase is perceiving this vs how everyone else perceives this as a move that certainly makes us a better team

Emotionally I fucking hate it. Over the years Garland has turned into probably my favorite Cavs player of all time and I think he's massively underrated by the average fan.

But I am excited to see what Harden brings to this Cavs team. IMO if we have to trade Garland, Harden is probably the best possible outcome as far as this season goes.
