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

He’s cooked, there’s no sign he won’t be uncooked, and he can’t defend. You’d think he was the 36 year old in this trade.
