There's only 1 way the Cleveland Cavaliers would be willing to trade Darius Garland
There may be one scenario in which the Cleveland Cavaliers would be open to trading Darius Garland. It's been a near-perfect offseason for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They managed to sign Donovan Mitchell to a long-term contract extension and then inked Evan Mobley to a max extension as well.
