Cleveland Cavaliers’ summer league roster features Darius Garland, Dylan
Windler, Kevin Porter Jr.; Garland not expected to play Author: Chris Fedor

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Cavaliers have 16 players, including all three
of their 2019 first-round picks, listed on their Salt Lake City Summer League
roster. But prized fifth-overall pick Darius Garland is still not expected to
play in any of the three games, league sources told cleveland.com.

The team put Garland on the roster so he can participate in team-related
activities and stay connected to some of his new teammates in Salt Lake City.
Even though he is healthy, the Cavs don’t want to push Garland, who only played
four full games during his freshman season at Vanderbilt before suffering a torn
meniscus.

As reported by cleveland.com weeks ago, head coach John Beilein will run the
team.

Kevin Porter Jr., the 30th pick who was officially acquired from the Detroit
Pistons late Wednesday night, will lead the team alongside draft mate Dylan
Windler. Those two are joined by Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman, Malik Newman and
JaCorey Williams — a trio of players who spent time this past season with the
Canton Charge, Cleveland’s exclusively owned and operated NBA G League team.
Abdur-Rahkman played for Beilein at Michigan. – CLICK HERE to read full story.

Fifth overall pick Darius Garland to play for Cavs in Salt Lake City.

The Cavs’ three first-round draft picks and four players with ties to the Canton
Charge are included on Cleveland’s roster for the 2019 Salt Lake City Summer
League, which begins Monday.

Guard Darius Garland, wing Dylan Windler and guard Kevin Porter Jr. highlight
the roster. Garland was the fifth overall pick of last week’s NBA Draft. Windler
was picked 26th, while Porter was 30th.

From the Charge, the Cavs’ G League affiliate, will be guard Muhammad-Ali
Abdur-Rahkman, forward Jaron Blossomgame, guard Malik Newman and forward JaCorey
Williams. Blossomgame spent most of last season as a two-way player with the
Cavs and Charge. He averaged 17.4 points and 7.0 rebounds in 29 games with
Canton. – CLICK HERE to read full story.

Cavaliers have few free-agency options save for trading Kevin Love Author: Joe
Vardon Publication: The Athletic

There is one thing that so often gets lost when discussion of Kevin Love and
that big fat contract extension he signed with the Cavaliers last summer comes
up.

The Cavs wouldn’t have offered it to him if they weren’t comfortable with the
terms.

A year has passed, and it’s unlikely the organization feels much differently
about Love or the four years and $120 million they agreed to from when the ink
first dried. And yet, later in July, after the first wave of NBA free agency
ends, Cleveland will have the chance to move off of Love and his contract by
trading it to a big-market team with cap space.

This is one of the most exciting times of the calendar year for NBA fans. Which
big star is going where? Who is signing with my team to take it from the middle
of the pack to the top? Isn’t it hilarious when reporters get into Twitter spats
trying to outdo each other in tweeting the signings and meetings and rumors? –
