The Cleveland Cavaliers potentially trading star point guard Darius Garland to the Orlando Magic isn't viewed as a likely outcome during the 2025 offseason, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.

According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t had ‘substantive conversations’ with Orlando regarding a Garland trade. Furthermore, Cleveland has “little interest” in helping out an Eastern Conference contender by trading Garland to them.

Cleveland's All-Star guard now faces a 4-5 month recovery timeline, creating a new variable in potential trade negotiations and raising questions about his valuation in a league where availability is becoming as important as ability.
