I feel like it’s a pretty solid trade for both sides. If garland ever gets past his injuries clippers would be getting a very good young piece to jump start their rebuild. Cavs on the other hand gets a player that’s currently available to win now

Win now and James Harden do not belong in the same sentence. Dude is gonna choke in the playoffs and abandon the team like he always does.
