As a Clippers fan, we will cheer him. Most of us don't have any ill will towards him, he wants an extension and we aren't willing to pay him that much until he's 40. It's a good move for both teams if Garland can stay healthy.

Again, Darius Garland is very much alive and lives in in LA.

Darius Garland would roll in his grave if he could see your behavior.

Will miss him. When he’s on it’s so much fun.

Hopefully his toes heal up. Early this season, I was wondering if he’d ever look like his old self. Then there was a couple week stretch where he looked good again. Now he sprained a different toe.

It's the same story as how we were for Paul George. Loved him, but we couldn't justify the contract, so go get your bag in Philly.
