[Afseth] The intel from some NBA teams is a perception that Darius Garland would like to run his own team again at some point, as opposed to being in a more complementary role next to Donovan Mitchell. The Sacramento Kings and the Minnesota Timberwolves have kept an eye on Garland’s situation.
In terms of roster movement, Garland is viewed as an attractive trade candidate around the NBA with fewer risk than some of the other high-profile guards that teams are monitoring, including Ja Morant, LaMelo Ball, and Trae Young.
“Darius is the safest option on the trade market for a team seeking a point guard upgrade,” a source said. “There are teams who think he can handle more being put on his plate.”
The Sacramento Kings have kept an eye on Garland’s situation as they remain motivated to find a long-term answer at point guard following De’Aaron Fox‘s departure, sources tell DallasHoopsJournal.com. The Minneota Timberwolves are another known team motivated for point guard help to take pressure off of Anthony Edwards. However, it’d be challenging for either team to find a viable path to add Garland.
