The Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers are in discussions regarding a trade that would send James Harden to Cleveland in exchange for Darius Garland, with both players expecting a deal by the trade deadline. Harden’s trade will likely include a new contract due to his veto rights, while the Cavaliers are demanding significant draft compensation, which poses a challenge in negotiations. Garland, currently sidelined with a toe injury, has been underperforming this season compared to his All-Star year. He is signed through 2028 on a five-year, $193 million contract.
