According to Chris Haynes, the Clippers and Cavs have ramped up conversations on a hardened Darius Garland package, both sides motivated

to execute a deal relatively soon. I've been surprised that the calves are not better this season.

and his usage rate last year, but they have regressed this year.

And I do think it's curious to think how it is that Hardin and Donovan Mitchell are going to

Juju, do you have any thoughts here before we get to the polls and Zaz's MVP of the day?

Did you have any thoughts on the idea that James Harden? Were you surprised by any of this?

Yeah, I'm very surprised to hear that from them. But the same time I do think that them
