Unlocking the Secret Twist That Changes Everything You Thought You Knew About This Story
So the Cavs, clearly frustrated with Garland’s inconsistent health and play, decided to grab two years of James Harden in exchange for three years of Garland.
It does give them a quicker out with their point guard and a way to audible after the 2026-27 season even if they sign Mitchell to a long-term extension. But the flexibility was only part of the calculation.
Essentially, Cleveland felt the 35-year-old Harden was a better fit in the short-term the 26-year-old Garland.
It’s easy to see the reasoning. Entering Wednesday night, Harden had the 18th-best DRIP in the league, while Garland ranked 66th. Garland’s DELTA is the 26th-worst in the league this season, meaning his DRIP has declined more than all but 25 players since the start of the season.
