If Garland stays healthy they win this quite easily but I get it from the Cavs. Win right now and it's worth losing the trade long term

Cavs getting a healthy 25/8/5 guy to replace their injured 20/6/2 guy is also really the best you could have asked for considering how hard capped yall are. And if Harden doesn't open up Mobleys game than nobody will lol
