Did they get better? That is up for debate. In the aggregate, they probably did. Slightly.

Big picture: The Cavaliers swapped a young star (Garland) for an old one (Harden), and used a small asset (their second-round pick in June) to do so, which is never a good idea.

However, in this case, the young star is having trouble staying on the floor. Garland has missed half the season, including the last nine games, to a series of toe injuries, which is a big deal for a ball-handler whose sharp drives and cuts are key to his game. The toe injuries have lingered since the end of last season, when he enjoyed a bounce-back campaign.
