The Cavs have too much invested in the backcourt duo for it not to mesh.
The fit between Cleveland Cavaliers guards Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland hasn’t worked as envisioned. This was a reoccurring theme throughout last season as Mitchell, and the team’s, best basketball came without Garland on the floor. Even in the 2022-23 season when the team performed better with both than they did this past go around, it always felt that things weren’t clicking as they should.
