But why are we doing Cavs trades? Much less Cavs star player trades. They are 1-1 with the Celtics right now and a far cry away from blowing it up/trading their best player.

Mitchell is in a similar situation to BI, where he has 1 year left on his deal. The difference is that almost everyone believes that he won't stay there past his current deal, and they can't lose him for nothing. They may take a risk and attempt to trade Garland in the offseason to get a better fit next to Mitchell and try to convince him to stay over the first half of next season, but that seems like a big risk.

ETA: just to clarify I don't think the Cavs would do the trade you quoted, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that they trade away Mitchell this offseason.
