01 Oct 2025 23:07:53
CLE-CHA-MIA

TO CLE: Miles Bridges + Andrew Wiggins
- call me some sort of homer (i am) but i would love Mobley to play the 5 putting in athletic forwards around him. i love Wiggins giving us some championship experience

PG: Darius Garland / Lonzo Ball / Craig Porter
SG: Donovan Mitchell / Sam Merrill
SF: Andrew Wiggins /
PF: Miles Bridges / Deandre Hunter
CE: Evan Mobley / Larry Nance Jr

TO CHA: Jarrett Allen + Jaime Jacquez Jr
- CHA only have Plumlee and Diabate to play center and those guys arent starting caliber. Allen provides them an instant double-double and a lob threat to Lamelo. This also opens up space for Salaun to develop even more

PG: Lamelo Ball / Tre Mann / Spencer Dinwiddie
SG: Collin Sexton / Josh Green / Jaime Jacquez
SF: Brandon Miller / Kon Knueppel
PF: Tidjane Salaun / Grant Williams
CE: Jarrett Allen / Mason Plumlee / Mousa Diabate

TO MIA: Max Strus + Dean Wade + 2nd round pick from CLE & CHA
- adds shooting on the wing and some depth on their frontline. Gives more time for Herro and Powell to operate

PG: Davion Mitchell / Terry Rozier
SG: Tyler Herro / Pelle Larrson
SF: Norman Powell / Max Strus / Simone Fontecchio
PF: Bam Adebayo / Nikola Jovic
CE: Kelel Ware / Dean Wade

02 Oct 2025 09:52:31
I like this for Cleveland and Charlotte
Feels like Miami should get an extra 2rnd pick.

02 Oct 2025 16:59:42
Cleveland would get crushed on the boards on a daily basis if they did this trade. Their defense would also take a hit.

25 Sep 2025 04:58:26
Cavs get: Dalen Terry
Bulls get: Dean Wade

Why?
Cavs add a back-up 3. Hunter is our only true 3 and he has an injury history.
Bulls get a veteran stretch 4 who can mentor their young forwards.

25 Sep 2025 03:52:50
Cavs get: Ousmane Dieng, '26 first via Jazz and '28 srp via Jazz

​Thunder get: Dean Wade


Why?
Cavs get a player they liked in the draft who still has potential and also get a 1st round pick and a 2nd.

Thunder get a battle tested stretch 4 on a cheap deal. Thunder don't have a true stretch 4.

25 Sep 2025 16:10:09
Thunder not giving up a young player and a 1st for that.

22 Sep 2025 20:45:24
Cavs get: Goga Bitadze and Jett Howard
Magic get: Max Strus and Craig Porter Jr.

Why?
Cavs address some needs and save money.
Magic get a young point guard on a team friendly deal.

22 Sep 2025 19:55:29
Cavs get: Jalen Smith and Dalen Terry
Bulls get: Max Strus and 4 2nds ('26, '27 Nuggs, '28 and '32)

Why?
Cavs address some needs and save some money.
Bulls get 4 2nd round picks.

21 Sep 2025 01:43:37
Cavs/ Suns/ Raptors

Cavs get Barrett/ O'Neale/ '26 2nd (LAL from Raps) / 28 1st (Raptors)

Sun's get Quickley/ Dick

Raptors get Garland/ Brooks/ Richards.

24 Sep 2025 14:00:51
Cavs would say no but I do like this trade for the raptors. But I also want to see how quickley playa before trading him I feel like he can be an all star level pg in the league. And barrett if he becomes a much better defender his spot as a SG would always be there.

08 Sep 2025 15:38:08
cle: Green+Finney smith+Richards+ return 1rnd pick Cle/Minny 27+ 1rnd pick Phoe 29 (or Dal Swap)

Suns: J Smith+ F Van vleet+ 1rnd pick Phoe 27

Suns

SF:D Brooks
SG:Booker
PG:Van Vleet

08 Sep 2025 23:11:14
There are many who believe that Green is a negative contract. If that's true, this is a terrible return for Mitchell.

09 Sep 2025 02:16:26
This is an insulting offer. Green is a negative, the rest of the package is underwhelming. That Cavs pick is more than likely going to be in the late 20's.

31 Aug 2025 23:52:59
Cavaliers-Pacers

Cavaliers - Pascal Siakam, Tony Bradley
- add stability with the presence and experience of Siakam

Garland - Ball - Porter
Mitchell - Merrill
Strus - Tyson
Siakam - Nance Jr
Mobley - Wade - Bradley

Pacers - Jarrett Allen, Deandre Hunter, 2030 1st round pick, 2032 1st round pick lotto protected, 2031 1st round pick swap, 2027 2nd round pick
- adds a new center and a serviceable forward and move Toppin to starter role

Nembhard - McConnell - Haliburton-inj
Mathurin - Sheppard
Nesmith - Furphy
Toppin - Hunter - Huff
Allen - Jackson - Wiseman

01 Sep 2025 07:57:37
I like Siakam on the Cavs. He deserves to play for a contender. But Indy has no need for J Allen. So maybe if you can swap Allen for more assets.

01 Sep 2025 18:58:02
Siakam is a nice player, but the value gap between him and Allen isn't De'Andre Hunter and 3 firsts. Cavs pass.

28 Aug 2025 12:56:24
Pacers: Mobley
Cle:P siakam+1rnd pick Indy 27+ 1rnd pick Indy 29

Cle:
C:Allen
Pf:siakam
SF:Hunter
SG:Mitchell
Pg:Garland

Pacers
C:Mobley/ Huff
PF:Toppin/walker
SF:Nesmith/Furphy
SG:Mathurin/Nembhard
PG:Haliburton/McConnell

28 Aug 2025 20:44:05
I'm not sure I'd trade Mobley for Giannis. Siakam and two picks in the 20's is a terrible return.

29 Aug 2025 05:48:19
The value is good but the Cavs arent trading Mobley for this.

01 Sep 2025 17:06:45
The value is NOT good for the Cavs.

28 Aug 2025 12:37:04
Cleveland: T Herro+Fontechio+ pick swap 26 and 28

Miami: donovan Mitchell

Miami
C:K'Ware
Pf:Adebayo
SF:Wiggins
SG:Mitchell
PG:Powell

cle
C:allen
Pf:Mobley
SF:Hunter
SG:Herro
Pg:Garland

28 Aug 2025 20:45:10
This is terrible, that package would get you Jonathan Kuminga, maybe.

28 Aug 2025 21:34:44
Not sure why Cleveland would downgrade that insanely badly for so little. Maybe if they got 3-5 firsts. But for two swaps from a team that would make the playoffs and a guy that probably doesn’t see the floor?

23 Aug 2025 18:38:59
Cavs get: Day'Ron Sharpe and Ziaire Williams
Nets get: Max Strus and 4 unprotected 2nds ('26 Cavs, '27 Nuggets, '28 Cavs, '32 Cavs)

Why?
Cavs bolster their bench and save money. Hunter is somewhat injury prone.
Nets add more 2nds to their collection and can flip Strus for more assets.

23 Aug 2025 13:55:37
Raptors - Cavs

Raptors get Garland

Cavs get RJ/ Dick/ CMB/ '27 1st.

23 Aug 2025 19:28:18
Someone will disagree, but I like it for Cleveland more than I like it for Toronto.

26 Aug 2025 14:11:39
Nah you don't want quickley and garland you need to trade quickley then I think he's got more potential then what ppl think. Instead raptors need to go after a combo 2 gaurd who's a lock down defender someone like White, Holiday, dort or N. A. Walker.

20 Aug 2025 04:28:39
Cavs get: Day'Ron Sharpe and Dariq Whitehead
Nets get: Max Strus

Why?
Cavs address their bench and save money.
Nets get a veteran shooter that can help them or could be flipped for assets.

18 Aug 2025 12:38:09
Cavs get: Coby White, Patrick Williams, Dalen Terry, 5 1sts and 12 2nds from Brooklyn
Nets get: Donovan Mitchell
Bulls get: Terance Mann, Day'Ron Sharpe, Dariq Whitehead and 3 2nds from Cleveland

https:/ / fanspo. com/ nba/ trades/ FuU_nP-kkB3Tlc

Why?
Cavs do this to give Mobley the keys. We get an insane package.
Nets get a superstar.
Bulls get a nice package and unload Williams.

Coby White agrees to his max extension as part of the trade.

19 Aug 2025 01:39:38
Hard to imagine White takes 18m a year for his extension. Feels like he can get more.

13 Aug 2025 23:47:04
Miami - Cleveland - Sacramento

Miami : Demar Derozan + Dean Wade

Cleveland : Andrew Wiggins & 2nd round pick from Miami

Sacramento : Deandre Hunter + Simone Fontecchio + 2nd round pick from Miami

What motivates each team to do it

Miami is a team that always compete, if they cant find a way to get a star, they can settle for someone who can atleast lead them to the playoffs and use their grit to keep them hanging in the east. Demar Derozan can provide them that with Herro, Powell and Bam. Dean Wade adds front court depth

Pg- Herro/Mitchell/Rozier
Sg- Derozan/Larrson
Sf- Powell/Highsmith/Jacquez
Pf- Adebayo/Jovic
Ce- Ware/Wade

Cleveland adds a wing who can defend opposing team's best wing, Wiggins proved that in his championship run with the Warriors. Though they need to sign some minimum bigs to give them some depth

Pg- Garland/Ball/Porter
Sg- Mitchell/Merrill
Sf- Wiggins/Strus
Pf- Mobley/Nance
Ce- Allen/Nance

Sacramento adds a bigger player who can play alongside Murray and Sabonis because of his defense

Pg- Schroder/Ellis
Sg- Lavine/Monk/Carter
Sf- Murray/Fontecchio
Pf- Hunter/Lyles
Ce- Sabonis/Eubanks

11 Aug 2025 03:40:19
Cavs get: Royce O'Neale and Nick Richards
Suns get: Kyle Anderson and '27 SRP via Nuggets
Jazz get: Max Strus

Why?
Cavs get Mitchell's bestie and a back-up big.
Suns add a point forward and a second-round pick.
Jazz adds a veteran shooter.

05 Aug 2025 02:52:49
Cavs get: Isaiah Hartenstein, Cason Wallace, Ousmane Dieng, 3 1sts ('26 Jazz, '27 Nuggets and '28 Mavs swap) and 3 2nds ('28 Jazz, '28 Bucks and '29 Celtics)
Thunder gets: Donovan Mitchell

Why?
Mobley needs to get more touches. We get a great package for Mitchell.
Thunder gets a superstar who fits great next to SGA.

30 Jul 2025 05:17:31
Cavs get: Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, '25 first via Pels and '29 unprotected first
Hawks get: Donovan Mitchell

Why?
Cavs get better fitting pieces and some firsts.
Hawks get a superstar.

30 Jul 2025 08:04:38
Mitchell-Young wouldn't work.

30 Jul 2025 11:21:07
Totally ruins the positive direction Atlanta is going in.

30 Jul 2025 15:16:06
Atlanta says hell no.

22 Jul 2025 02:53:36
Cavs get: Deni Avdija, Toumani Camara and Jerami Grant
Blazers get: Donovan Mitchell

Why?
Cavs do it to add wings with size. Mobley needs to be our primary offensive player.
Blazers add a superstar for a reasonable price.

22 Jul 2025 05:32:49
Is it weird to say that Blazers say no to this.

22 Jul 2025 06:09:10
It’s not Rek. I hate this for Portland. Mitchell is a weird fit on the roster as it sits right now. Remove literally every functional forward on the team and the roster is about as imbalanced as humanly possible.

How do Mitchell, Dame, Jrue, Scoot, and Sharpe function together? Who plays either forward position?
