The Cavaliers had success when Ricky Rubio and Darius Garland shared the floor this past season, outscoring opponents by 16.1 points per 100 possessions prior to Rubio’s injury.
That ranked in the top-5 among all 2-man lineups to play 500 minutes together in 2021-22. – 10:23 AM

Sources: Cleveland Cavaliers and free agent guard Ricky Rubio have agreed to a 3-year, $18.4 million deal with a partial guarantee in the third year of the deal, @Jorge Sierra has learned. Rubio was a key veteran rotation player for Cleveland and mentor to All-Star Darius Garland. – 9:51 AM

More on this storyline
Then there’s the smallest of sample-size theater. James Wiseman played all of 69 minutes at Memphis, while Darius Garland played five games at Vanderbilt. Famously, Kyrie Irving played only 11 games at Duke. Top 2022 prospect Shaedon Sharpe didn’t play a single game this season for Kentucky. One executive said he’s been burned by an overly cautious medical staff who raised red flags that dissuaded him from selecting a first-round prospect. Many feel that workouts, more controlled by agents than ever, are overvalued, as is performance in the NCAA tournament (see Williams, Derrick and Flynn, Jonny). Combine results can be tantalizing, though scouts and execs feel as if the league has made a proper correction on a traditional fetish — “athleticism.” Yet at the same time, some say the swing toward “basketball IQ” has moved so dramatically in the past few years, that teams might look up to find that they don’t have the necessary shot creation to contend. -via ESPN / June 23, 2022
Chris Fedor: #Cavs Darius Garland on the identity rebrand, new logos and emphasis on gold in the uniforms: “Super cool. I like it. Gold is what we want. The gold is with us. Hopefully we go get one next year” -via Twitter @ChrisFedor / June 4, 2022
“That’s out of my control,” Garland said when asked by cleveland.com his feelings on the Cavs re-signing Sexton, the fourth-year guard who is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn meniscus. “But I hope so for sure.” -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / June 4, 2022
