Bringing in a veteran point guard is one of the San Antonio Spurs' two major options to improve this offseason, and Cleveland Cavaliers playmaker Darius Garland just might be the best available.
Victor Wembanyama is in desperate need of a confident floor general to play alongside him for the foreseeable future, so plenty of names have been drawn to potentially help solve that problem.have garnered much of the conversation, rumblings of a potential divorce with the Cleveland Cavaliers could leave Darius Garland as another option for San Antonio to choose from.
The guard tandem has had differing amounts of success in their two seasons together, and after an underwhelming five-game series loss to the Boston Celtics in the second round, it seems like it might be the final nail in the coffin of their partnership. It’s clear that Cleveland will prioritize keeping the more-proven Mitchell around, so moving on from Garland seems like the most likely option.
Garland would be inserted as the primary ball handler in San Antonio immediately, receiving a massive green light to play his brand of basketball. He’d have the confidence of the team to become more of a scorer and offensive weapon, while also dishing out plays to Wembanyama and company. He’s exactly the type of floor general it desires, especially for a team in the early stages of a rebuild.
Garland also hasn’t had a pick-and-roll threat near as dangerous offensively as Wembanyama, giving him reasonable interest in the pairing, too. He already made a successful pairing with Jarrett Allen, but with a generational talent, the heights they could each go are much higher.
