Cavs expected to choose between Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland
Furthermore, rival executives believe the Cavs will have to seriously evaluate the fit of Mitchell and Garland and ultimately may have to choose one or the other. Should Mitchell decide to stay long term, sources briefed on the matter say Garland’s representation, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, would have a conversation with Cavs officials on potentially finding a new home for the one-time All-Star.

“This is a place I want to be.”
That was JB Bickerstaff’s message about his future after the Cavs saw their season end with a loss last night in Boston.
It is also what the Cavaliers hope to hear from Donovan Mitchell about his own future in Cleveland.

Bobby Manning: Holiday cont.: “With today’s game, twos are better than threes … to be able to have them shoot contested twos, we know they can make contested threes too … closer to the basket, we can touch bodies and box out, I feel like that’s better for us.” -via Twitter @RealBobManning / May 13, 2024
Bobby Manning: Interesting from Jrue Holiday: #Celtics actually want the #Cavaliers to play in the paint. “Try to take away those 3s, run them off the line … making them play in the paint. Strus can shoot, but him, Garland, all these guys, we want them to play in the paint, (take) tough 2s.” -via Twitter @RealBobManning / May 13, 2024
