Darius Garland is shutting down all trade rumors once and for all.

"I don't want to be traded," the Cleveland Cavaliers guard told Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com. "Those are just rumors."

There had been long-simmering rumors Garland could seek an exit this summer amid fit issues with Donovan Mitchell. The Cavs signed Mitchell to a three-year, $150.3 million extension this offseason, meaning Garland would have been the odd man out if there was going to be a split.

Garland pushed back on the notion of any unhappiness with Mitchell signing an extension.
