Cavaliers brew big deal! Listen to Garland s offer, or join the Magic Group s new lineup

A report by ESPN senior reporter Brian Vinhorst triggered the trading market: the Cleveland Cavaliers have officially put star guard Dalius Garland on the shelves, and are actively listening to the quotations of each team and having an open attitude.

Garland was seriously affected by a hamstring injury in the just-concluded playoffs. He only played 5 games, averaging 18 points, 5.2 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 29.6 minutes, his shooting percentage dropped to 42%, and his three-point shooting percentage was even more dismal 28%. This is in a huge contrast with his top point guards who averaged 20+ points, 6+ assists, 48% shooting percentage and 40% three-point shooting percentage in the regular season. The injury not only ruined Garland's solo performance, but also made the Cavaliers, the number one in the East, fail early in the playoffs.

Kecheng media spoke out: As soon as the transaction news came out, local media in Cleveland quickly spoke out for Garland. They believe that injuries are the only reason Garland's playoff statistics are down. Looking back at the times he was able to play, there are still many brilliant performances and key contributions. It seems unfair if the team gives up the All-Star guard he has trained.

Magic intervenes strongly: Sargos + Silva becomes the core bargaining chip?

In fact, Garland's suitor has already surfaced. As early as May 31, well-known reporter Sam Amik revealed that the Orlando Magic, which urgently needs to be upgraded to No. 1 position, has set Garland as a key signing target this summer. According to multiple sources, the Magic is very likely to use defensive player Jaylen Sages and potential player Carter Jr. as the trading subjects, and cooperate with the appropriate draft picks to launch a pursuit of offensive against the Cavaliers.

The Magic have a strong forward combination of Ban Keiro and Wagner Jr., but organizational connection is always a shortcoming. Sages is good at defense, and offensive organization is not a strong point. An all-star point guard like Garland, who has both explosive scoring and mature organizational skills, is the key puzzle missing from Magic's impact at a higher level.

Currently, the Knights management is carefully evaluating the quotations of all parties. The strong interest and attractive bargaining chips shown in Magic put Orlando in a relatively favorable position in this potential trade battle. Garland's future destination will become one of the important highlights of the NBA transfer market this summer.
