The asking price for OG has been insane. Why are we giving up that many picks for a 6'1 guard? I'd rather get OG tbh.

I think OG is massively overrated. I'd definitely rather have Garland than OG. Somehow Masaj has managed to convince the public their whole team is freaking beasts worth 8 1st round picks each while their team can't even make the play offs in the East.

Tbh - I’d rather have Donovan Mitchell than Darius Garland.

Same...in a vacuum at least. We already know Don apparently might have other issues with Utah though. We've also seen evidence that a smaller scoring guard such as Jamal Murray can win a ring in this league as a 2nd/3rd banana type if you have the right Alpha on the team.

How often has a small PG such as Garland played a key role in winning a championship? Steve Kerr couldn't do it. CP3 couldn't do it. Stockton couldn't do it. Detroit's Isaiah Thomas did it in 1989 but was surrounded by the bad boys. Kyrie did it next to a potential GOAT Lebron. The league is even bigger and more wing oriented these days.

Amico is a hack but it wouldn't surprise me if the Cavs did quietly put Garland on the block if they feel Don is going to stay with them long term. Alot of us had our doubts about the long term viability of that small Cavs backcourt as soon as the trade went down.
 
Only way they send him our way, imo, is if they get Hendricks who we are unlikely to part with, but he is the fit they need more than we do.
I don't see them doing business with Ainge again after he owned them in the last deal.
Hard to tell what the point is though, Garland looked pretty bad in the playoffs.
