Tbf he usually plays great in the Playoffs, just his teammates are often times the one who end up not showing up when they need to the most. I know he’s the common factor but that doesn’t necessarily equate to him actually being the issue, correlation does not always mean causation after all

If you’re relying on Jarret Allen, DeAndre Hunter, Garland in playoff conditions. You’re cooked

Adventurous-Owl-6085

56 | 10 hours ago

He needs to go the way of Jamal Murray if he wants to win. Honestly I think the Cavs should trade Allen and whatever else they need to for Giannis. They fit each others timeline and Giannis is basically what they have needed. A first option that can balance Mitchell out, and maybe get him more involved on defence. Trade Garland and Allen

xuedad | Lakers

40 | 10 hours ago

Mobley and Garland would 100% seal the deal I think, possibly without the need to throw in picks even. And you still have a really good Allen-Giannis-Hunter-(I want to say Ball but he’s bad)-Mitchell lineup

I feel like the Cavs should have traded him years ago when his value was still at its all-time high.

Cavs have made 1 trade in the last 4 years, being Hunter last season. Extended lots of players to their maxes and now have the most expensive roster in the league despite 1-4 in the 2nd round being their best result.

This isn’t missed timing, Cavs GM/Exec wanted this roster and was given the power to see it through cause he was really good in the rebuild.

Eh they’re really good players tho

All of our main 4 guys are good players and our bench is decent. It just seems like the main 4 don’t fit that well together. Injuries aside I’d hate selling off any DG or Allen for scraps but if it’d be a better fit with Donny and Mobley we probably should have.

hiimred2 | CLE

64 | 12 hours ago

Garland is in no way ‘good’ this season. He’s averaging 15.5 on <50% TS, with a 2.3 AST:TO rate as a player who is one of the biggest defensive liabilities in the league. Complete trash stuff. His entire thing when he was “good” was that we needed that version of him for our offense to not just be Mitchell doing his thing, but Garland isn’t doing that this year and is still obviously the same dude(worse even) on D.

There’s other issues but this is a one stop problem that accounts for a massive portion of why the team is garbage right now.

CreativeContract2170 | Suns

36 | 11 hours ago

I’ve watched quite a few Cavs games this year and you’re 100% right. At this point, the only thing Garland has going for him right now is name/reputation.

His numbers are all down, he’s always hurt, he’s food on defense, and just on the eye test he looks totally cooked.

Cautious-Engine9006

9 | 11 hours ago

Yeah but its the injury right? He should get back to form eventually, but I almost wonder if he should’ve taken more time off.

princessfinesse | Cavaliers

4 | 11 hours ago

well he’s playing on a broken toe? he was great last year when healthy, so we know he has the ability to be. if you watch his legs, at random times during any given game he will limp, or wince in pain for seemingly no reason at all. i read that he still often wears toe spacers in his shoes to keep his toe set.

honestly, this year is a wash for him until he heals 100%. but i don’t think that speaks to his ability so much as the nature of the injury.

The balance doesn’t work. Both guards are too far on the offensive side, and the bigs are too far on the defense side. I thought Mobkey was turning into a 2 way guy but seems to have regressed in that regard so far this season.

Might be time to trade them for 2 way guys, even if they’re less talented but better fits

robbyiballs | Knicks

9 | 11 hours ago

I don’t think Allen’s stock was ever that high. And Garland can’t stay healthy for more than a month at a time. Plus, he’s a great player. Maybe not a perfect fit next to Mitchell, but I think few guards are.

Availability is the best ability but he’s literally always injured. When he’s not injured, he’s recovering from injury and might as well be playing for the opposing team lmao. He’s turning 26 in 1 month, he’s not that young promising guard taking Cleveland by storm anymore

tdizhere | Cavaliers

2 | 3 hours ago

Exactly. I’m glad you mentioned the recovering from injury part. He almost always comes back looking bad, to a point you question why is he even playing.

Though I think a big part of the reason he gets hurt is that the Cavs defense can’t protect him so he’s always involved in a defensive action or left on an island vs bigger players, which wears him down.

For the Wolves, Magic or Blazers he would shine.

ianbits | Cavaliers

88 | 12 hours ago

Yeah we know

Just complacency from all levels, the front office, the coaching staff, the players. Thought if they all sleepwalked they could still be fine. Now we’ve got a total lack of depth everywhere besides the wing, an offense that looks unrecognizable without Jordan Ott, and a team that’s getting out-efforted on the boards every night.

Just embarassing. No one besides Mitch should be off the table in trade talks at this point, including Mobley. But a team this broken doesn’t seem like something that gets fixed mid-season unless they come out of nowhere and trade for Giannis or something.

ToddYates | Bucks

38 | 10 hours ago

If Giannis is available, Cavs gotta offer Mobley + all of the picks. Cavs become instant favorites in the East again, and the Bucs pick up a great (while overpaid) young big to pair with their emerging guards and newfound draft capital.

Revenesis | Knicks

47 | 10 hours ago

Pretty sure this can’t be done because the Cavs are in the second apron and can’t aggregate salary to get a deal done.

TheMentatBashar | Cavaliers

10 | 8 hours ago

We can only if we get under the 2nd apron after the trade. So it would require a 3rd team like the Nets to dump salary to.

So it’d have to look something like:

Cavs receive: Giannis, Alex and Thanasis

Bucks receive: Mobley, Lonzo, Dean Wade, Jalen Wilson (from Nets) + Draft capital

Nets receive: Max Strus, 2nd round pick.

Brxa | Cavaliers

6 | 5 hours ago

We should involve Garland and Allen for a PG needy team, maybe get Naz Reid from Minny and get another team involved for Allen. Shed salary but also rework the roster.

Sam Mitchell Tyson/Strus/Hunter Giannis Reid

TheTonyDose | Knicks

5 | 10 hours ago

Besides Jaylon Tyson, none of the wings are that good either especially on defense. Cavs have zero point of attack defenders besides lonzo so teams can just get into the paint at will to collapse the defense.

The offense has perhaps been the most disappointing aspect. I know it’s hard to have consistency when you trot out a different line up practically every night but it feels like there’s no system (besides relying on Spida heroics). Makes me sad, I was really pulling for this team…

peppermuttai

How much of it is the loss of Jordan Ott and not just inconsistency due to the injury flurry you guys have? There should be schemes etc still with them despite his leaving, their offense doesn’t even look like a shadow of what it was last year, hence my question about it being maybe personnel related.

Also, is it just me, or has the Ty Jerome loss been massive?

The swap from last year Ty Jerome to this year Lonzo is a disaster

Tonight was so telling. We need Allen and Mobley on the floor together to be a decent defensive team. With both of them, Wade and Mitchell can be the best versions of themselves on defense.

it’s not an excuse but Strus (and Merrill) have a waaaay different shot profile than Tyson in a way that really impacts how they’re guarded. Missing two of their top 3pt shooters (in terms of frequency AND efficiency) is huge. Tyson is hitting shots but he’s not guarded the same.

Huckleberry_Lonely

11 | 12 hours ago

It’s frustrating because the team is so talented, but I do think Kenny Atkinson is a super weak coach & has lost the team. Darius is too small & injury-prone, and they desperately need a decent 3rd big so they can add more size.

Lonzo has been terrible & they’ve suffered with injury luck, but Boston effectively has only Jaylen Brown & Derrick White & they’re playing with more heart.

pericles123 | Cavaliers

10 | 12 hours ago

I’d argue strongly against that - Pritchard is every bit as good as Garland is imo, Hauser is similar to Merrill, Simons has a 15ppg avg for his career….they aren’t exactly devoid of talent. I’d argue the biggest difference is that their guards/wings are very good defensively, ours are not. I’ve been saying all season that they will be fine, but man, it’s hard to watch them against shitty teams and still think fully healthy they are going to be ok. They are shooting poorly, their ball movement is down, and they have had a bunch of injuries - not a good combination.

I think the Pacers series broke them (not Mitchell) mentally. Say what you will about the regular season, but it takes high-level playing to win 64 games. Their ceiling is still that high but they are mentally checked out.

I firmly believe it was the Hunter for Niang and Levert trade that ruined them.

Last years team was just so much better.

They lost a lot of depth with Jerome and Okoro gone. Lonzo is a non factor.

Missing both your 3 point specialists right now and Mobley.

DG still looks rough.

Even though they are also in the East, I’m sad and disappointed at how things have turned out for them. 2023 and 2024 seasons they really looked to be complete powerhouses.

Absolutely inexcusable for them to be struggling like this against that kind of competition when they have this little of talent and salary. At this point injuries can be blamed, but it’s not enough of an excuse. Coaching and players are both accountable for this.

Hope they turn it around post ASB but they just look so done. They suffered an embarrassing post season last year which should have lit a fire in them.

Sadly they still have a better point differential than my Lakers. We’ve had a few bad blowouts.

People thought I was hating but like I said, they consistently fall apart and come up short.

They just aren’t a valid threat to anyone serious in the East.

Playing tough outworks the Cavs every time.

I’m not gonna lie Mobley has been really disappointing offensively throughout his career. I know he won dpoy but the guy has no bag and he’s kind of a pussy when it comes to looking for his own shot.

Max Strus is the only Cavs role-player I trust to perform. idk what to think.

I’m not watching all these games & only watch some games/some highlights & start watching every single game come playoff time.

Edit: I don’t even think he’s coming back soon either

Crazy they are still above 500, but they are down bad and I’m not sure what or who the problem is, but if it continues to slide, major changes need to be made. I personally always hated the guard combo and feel like that needs a change. I don’t watch Cavs games so I can’t say for sure what improvements are needed, but sos.

I just had to search about this yesterday reflecting on how bad they’re doing this year. Just astounding. Don’t lose hope Cleveland fans lol

The Cavs look beyond cooked
