Darius Garland is now 3-for-14 after that last short miss inside over Al Horford.
Evan Mobley, however, is up to 25 points on 12-for-19 shooting, as Cleveland is taking advantage of Boston’s defense to get him a whole bunch of easy looks, and he’s converting. Big performance. – 8:57 PM

Can’t really tell from any of the angles but if Jaylen Brown didn’t clip Darius Garland — and Brown is adamant that he didn’t, with the Celtics challenging — that would be an Oscar-worthy acting job by Garland. – 7:57 PM

More on this storyline
Other players commonly mentioned as potential trade targets this offseason include New Orleans’ Brandon Ingram, Atlanta’s Trae Young and DeJounte Murray and Chicago’s Zach LaVine — none seriously linked to the Lakers at the combine. -via Los Angeles Times / May 16, 2024
San Antonio personnel would be committing front-office malpractice by not contemplating the opportunity to pair a league assist leader and high-screen maestro like Young to pair with Wembanyama. The Spurs have so far approached building around Wembanyama as an intriguing experiment, where they will weigh all different kinds of variables around their Rookie of the Year. However, according to multiple league figures with knowledge of the situation, any Spurs plans of maneuvering to bring Young to San Antonio have been vastly overstated. The Spurs, sources said, have expressed little interest in obtaining Young to date. -via Yahoo! Sports / May 16, 2024
Where Young will fall among the pecking order of available talent this offseason has been a predominant question league personnel are discussing throughout this combine week. The Lakers, for example, are one team that holds interest in Young after Los Angeles held trade discussions with Atlanta about Dejounte Murray back in February, sources said. The Lakers are now armed with three first-round picks to pursue a premier talent to team with James and Davis, but Los Angeles will have to consider other options before committing any type of capital for Young. -via Yahoo! Sports / May 16, 2024
Evan Sidery: Klutch Sports will indeed meet with the Cavaliers this offseason to facilitate Darius Garland being traded, if Donovan Mitchell decides to stay, @WindhorstESPN confirmed on @ESPNCleveland . -via x.com / May 17, 2024
Sources say Bickerstaff was on the hot seat earlier this season before the team altered its play style and surged up the standings in the absence of Garland and Mobley. That helped alleviate some of the pressure. So did the first-round series win over Orlando — the step forward the organization needed to take. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / May 16, 2024
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. -via New York Times / May 16, 2024
