Things are not going as expected, and the alarms are starting to go off. Cleveland Cavaliers need to react and find some consistency in their game if they want to confirm their role as strong contenders for the title. The management is increasingly convinced of the suitability of making a trade and they may have found the right one, according to NBA rumors.
It's not a good time for Cleveland Cavaliers, where all the confidence in the process that was felt in previous years and that gradually diminished due to poor playoff performances seems to have completely dissipated with this season's start. It is now evident to management and the coaching staff that the compatibility between Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell is unfeasible, so they will put the former on the market.
Strengthening the 3 and 4 positions is a priority for a team that fully trusts Hunter and Mobley but wants to give Mitchell more prominence as a playmaker and acquire another piece that can be important on both ends of the court. Michael Porter Jr is the great desire of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who could access the Brooklyn Nets player through a trade involving the Sacramento Kings, the team where Garland would go.
