He is an elite PG. Elite. Quick, fast, handles, shooting, creation, passing - you name it. Defense isn't great, so it's probably not Nico's dream. But, outside of Luka, SGA, Brunson and a healthy Halliburton, he's probably the best you could reasonably hope to acquire, and he's 25. He could play with Cooper Flagg for a long, long time, and while he's probably not a noticeably better player than Kyrie was last season, he IS a better POINT GUARD than Kyrie, imho. I would much rather have Garland than Fox, just for example. Cleveland didn't win all those games just because of Mitchell, and it's actually a well known thing that Cleveland has been considering moving one or the other for over a year now.
It would make them contenders, in my mind. Then again, LeBron might accomplish that, too. It's just that Garland is 25, and that's WORTH giving up some good stuff.
