The Cleveland Cavaliers traded for Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder on Saturday night, and plenty of fans took the deal as a surefire indication of Lonzo Ball's imminent departure. While that was a logical assumption, it was based on the wrong player.
For it is Darius Garland, not Ball, whose fate in Cleveland was just altered dramatically. Ball was already a goner. There's no chance the Cavs are going to pick up his team option for next season, and they might trade him in the next few days.
What the Ellis-Schroder arrival means for Garland is far more relevant.
