I don’t love the trade, but I think it helps future flexibility, sheds Garland’s contract, and potentially makes this a better team in postseason….if Harden is willing to play a 6th man type role.
Keep in mind, we were able to keep Strus, which changes this team drastically when he comes back….hopefully healthy.
I believe the Cavs are now committed to Donovan starting at PG, with Harden spelling him. They’ll prob share the court for 5-7 mins a game. I don’t think the intention is for Harden and Mitchell to play heavy minutes with each-other…
No offense to Darius….but he was significantly overpaid. On top of that, he’s been super fragile. I’m stoked they were able to get his contract off the roster.
