> The San Antonio Spurs are “very interested” in trading for Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland, an NBA source told Hoops Wire.
ive never heard of Hoops Wire nor the author before

I want Garland pretty badly, but reporting on anything the Spurs ever do is incredibly tilted toward guesswork and other people around the league just assuming stuff. Take this “source” with all the grains of salt in your pantry.
PootieTooGood
Really? The spurs would like to pair wemby up with a pick and roll ball handling guard? Who could’ve known other than nba sources
Would have to be a three-teamer, idk who on the spurs roster would be beneficial to us, and draft picks make no sense
Not_Not_Stopreading
Problem is Spurs have nothing to offer

Spurs are interested in anyone who’s already being paid a lot of money and won’t be selfish so they pass to their Generational Bigman.

They must not have seen him play lately

Garland would be terrible for them and wemby. He sucks

Doubt it. It’s been known for decades that Spurs don’t use reporters to leak stuff.
This is probably just his agent trying to prop him up.

I’m still on Darius island and think he’s gonna kill it at his next stop. Cleveland is just a bad fit for him. He’d be great in SA

Id only want to do it if their asking price was reasonable considering the down season that Garland just had and his contract is pretty huge. Something like #8, Tre, Keldon and a few other first rounders in ‘26 or ‘27 (not Atlantas)

I think Garland is a good player but if we are emptying the war chest I’d rather go after a star player. Garland showes flashes but whenever he starts to look like he’s figured it all out he either has a bad shooting streak or gets injured.

BKN isn’t giving up Bridges, NOLA is the next stop. SA and that 8th is the wild card.

Sure. Just Give us wenbenyama

Rather have Garland than Trae, but who is more durable of the two?

What’s the logic behind wanting Garland but not Trae Young

I don’t have any sources, but I am not overly surprised by the idea that NBA team is interested in good player

I think Garland is potentially a good fit, though that contract is pretty hefty compared to his production. If he returns to All-star form…
I don’t think we have enough ‘ready’ players to make a deal, so it would need to be a 3 team arrangement, although they could ask for a role player or two from the Spurs as a small part of the deal.
Beyond that, there are some names out there, but I don’t know who would work best. Ingram is often mentioned but…and I think NOLA is looking to swap him out for another quality player and compete, not stockpile picks (of which they have some yet to spend from the AD trade?) So either another player out there or a 4 team deal.
At some point, Cleveland would likely consider taking the picks and turning them around in a separate deal, perhaps post draft.
I don’t know if this is going to happen, ultimately. Cavs are in a weird place as a second tier playoff team that needs to do something to bump up. They have a positional surplus if they resign/extend Mitchell, so it makes more sense for them to find a direct trade with teams in a like situation (which is not generally all that common, but NOLA with Ingram – but, the Pels are approaching this, allegedly, from a money savings stand point and any deal would put the receiving team in the same bind.)
TL:DR: Garland would be a good fit. His contract is nasty, but if the Spurs FO believes in his fit w/Wemby, they will make the attempt to get something done.

Spurs would be foolish to give up any firsts next year. They should get a couple good middle tier free agents and then make a big trade after next season depending on their draft pick.
They’d really regret it if their pick was the number one pick next year.

Bruh we want Mikal Bridges so unless its a 3 team trade this ain’t happening

The Cavs would be fools to dump Garland and keep Mitchell.
Mitchell is gone gone.

Spurs brass are said to be “intrigued” by the possibility of acquiring Darius Garland…

Yo Toño, we got a Tyler herro, give us some picks brah
Dymatizeee
Great trade
FirstTimeLongThyme
Is Chicago still pretending they’re going to be going for the playoffs? Feel like they could be a good third team to get involved here.

The Spurs FO is famously notorious for leaking everything all over the media before acting, so I am sure all these recent reports involving multiple players are all legit.
