Cavaliers' fan-favorite is quietly entering his last season in Cleveland

The Cleveland Cavaliers may soon face one of their most difficult roster decisions of this era, and it involves a player who has long been beloved by the fanbase. The smooth-scoring Darius Garland who once symbolized the team’s rebuild could realistically be entering his final season with the franchise.

If the Cavaliers fall short again in the postseason, all signs point to Garland being the odd man out, especially now that Donovan Mitchell is clearly locked in as the team’s top option moving forward. Garland’s role has naturally shifted since Mitchell arrived, but last season made the dynamic even more complicated.
