Darius Garland is coming off another strong season where he helped the Cleveland Cavaliers reach the NBA playoffs.

The former Vanderbilt star averaged 18.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 44.6% from the field and 37.1% from the three-point range in 57 games.

However, the Cavs (who were the fourth seed) lost to the Boston Celtics in the second round (in five games).

There will now be a lot of questions about the roster (and coaching staff) over the offseason.

Klutch Sports will indeed meet with the Cavaliers this offseason to facilitate Darius Garland being traded, if Donovan Mitchell decides to stay, @WindhorstESPN confirmed on @ESPNCleveland.

The Spurs are coming off a year where they were the 14th seed in the Western Conference with a 22-60 record.

They have missed the NBA playoffs in each of the previous five seasons, but have an extremely bright future due to Victor Wembanyama.

Adding a facilitator will be one of the biggest needs for the Spurs over the offseason.
