The Cleveland Cavaliers are exploring trade options for Darius Garland, focusing on building around Donovan Mitchell. A potential 3-team trade involving the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets could reshape all three teams with Garland moving to L.A. and key players shifting around to address team needs and financial flexibility.

The ideal scenario would give Garland a new home as a key player alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis, while providing the Cavs with size, shooting, and depth. The Nets would receive D'Angelo Russell and Christian Wood, setting them up for a rebuild with young talent.
