Darius Garland

[KqWIN]

I could see Garland being moved in a three team deal for someone like OG, but than you would have to send 42 picks to TOR to acquire OG.

He's a really good young player locked into a long term deal. Don't think he's available though, and I think there are other guards who are more "gettable".

 

[Coach Ellis]

Neither of these guys will be truly available for the next 2 years at least. They are pipe dreams. Cleveland eventually trades Donovan when they realize he will leave them. Might be sometime in the next season. Garland is under contract so will be around. Tyrese is under team control so things would have to really go south.

I think there’s a decent chance that the “next big move” the Jazz plan to make isn’t even on the radar yet. They’re building things out right now, but DA is keeping the powder dry to make a play for a superstar when a real opportunity comes around.

Amico is known as having good beat on Cleveland though.

I dont doubt that Cleveland has tested the market for all their players. They clearly need to make some tweaks so they have probably done a lot of work to see all their possible pathways to improvement.

I would be shocked if they traded Garland instead of Donovan. I would also love to be the beneficiary either way... go after old *** PG13 and give us some tasty picks when its broke *** PG and Don leaves... or we get Garland and they can have they picks back.

Safe bet the point of Collins was to rehab his value to a point where he's, at least. neutral due to diminished length on his contract (from now) vs his increased production. Ainge plays long games.

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

total agreement, but they are going to try and quietly see what's out there.

Mitchell’s dream is to play for NY. Ohio not really

Collins is neutral at the moment.

He did until Fedor immediately NFL-style punted him in the Gradey.

The Jazz should be saving their draft picks for a top 10 player in the NBA - that's the sure-fire way to be in the championship conversation, unless you think Lauri has another gigantic leap or believe that Keyonte or Taylor are going to have a sharper trajectory to superstardom than Mitchell did.

Collins is neutral at the moment.

To me, the contract is a slight negative because a dude is being paid 25m for 13 ppg. That said, I think he bounces back pretty easily as his injury seems healed, he'll have Hardy coaching him and he is getting into his prime. At worst, if he bottoms out for some weird reason, he becomes expiring in a year or two (depending on circumstances with his PO). But getting a asset for him straight up now wouldn't happen, as witnessed with us sending Gay to ATL. The second is a pity ****.

I don't think we want Donovan 2.0 in a small lead guard like Garland (even though he's great). I do think we could potentially facilitate an interesting 3 way trade though.... something like this:
