After getting knocked out of the NBA playoffs by the eventual NBA champion Boston Celtics in five games in the second round, the Cleveland Cavaliers headed into their offseason with a lot of uncertainty surrounding the immediate future of the franchise.
The most important part of the offseason for the Cavaliers is, without a doubt, getting superstar guard Donovan Mitchell to sign a lucrative long-term deal and secure his future with the team.
Although there’s been a lot of speculation about Mitchell’s intentions, with talk of him potentially wanting to test free agency next summer or get traded elsewhere, the Cavaliers appear to be on the verge of getting him to put pen to paper, which is obviously the best-case scenario for Cleveland.
However, the rest of the team’s stars seem to have uncertain futures, especially guard Darius Garland, who has been mentioned frequently as a trade candidate this summer.
Despite recent reports claiming that the Cavaliers brass want to keep this team intact, the trade rumors persist, with Emmett Golden of ESPN Cleveland suggesting the team should trade Garland during tonight’s 2024 NBA Draft via ESPN Cleveland.
