Cavs get: Patrick Williams and 15th pick
Bulls get: Max Strus, Dennis Schroder and 29th pick

Why?
Cavs gamble on Williams, save a lot of money and move up in the draft.
Bulls unload Williams for cheap, get 2 expirings and only move down 14 spots in the draft.

22 Jun 2026 17:10:21
Cavs get: Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, Kenrich Williams, 12th pick and '27 srp Denver via Bulls
Thunder get: Evan Mobley and decline Lu Dort
Bulls get: Isaiah Joe

Why?
Cavs add good fitting pieces next to Mitchell. Wallace becomes our PG.
Thunder get a versatile young big that fits nicely next to SGA.
Bulls add a shooter for cheap.

Lakers-Nets If Brooklyn really is offering max to Austin Reaves

Lakers - Nic Claxton & Terrence Mann

Nets - Austin Reaves (s&t), Deandre Ayton & 25th pick

Lakers add the pick to get Claxton as new rim runner for Luka

Lakers-Cavaliers

Lakers - Max Strus & Sam Merrill

Cavaliers - LeBron James s&t & Bronny James

Lakers add shooters and let the Luka Doncic era officially begin

Doncic-Merrill
Smart-Kennard-Mann
Strus-Knecht-Laravia
Hachimura-Thiero-Vanderbilt
Claxton-Hayes

There’s still a lot to improve but this is looking like the Mavs 2024 team.

26 May 2026 09:14:17
With Cleveland getting burned in that ECF they sure need to make a splash this summer. Go all in and let LeBron James retire a Cavalier


Cleveland/LA Lakers

Cleveland get LeBron James s&t, 1st round pick & Dalton Knecht

LA Lakers get Jarrett Allen

The Cavs get a 1st out of the trade to be included on other deal. Lakers benefit by getting a rim runner for Luka

Cleveland/Milwaukee

Cleveland get Greek Freak & Myles Turner

Milwaukee get Evan Mobley, Dennis Schroder, Jaylon Tyson, 1st round pick from Lakers, 2026 1st from Cavs, 2030 & 2032 1st from Cavs & pick swap from Cavs


The Cavaliers goes all in for a chip next year, Harden opts out and resign for cheaper deal

The Bucks focused on Mobley now as their building block together with Rollins


Cleveland roster

Harden/Ellis
Mitchell/Merrill
James/Strus/Knecht
Giannis/Tomlin
Turner/Wade.

28 Apr 2026 01:12:42
Cavs get: Lauri Markkanen, Brandon Ingram and Collin Murray-Boyles
Jazz get: Jarrett Allen, Max Strus and Dennis Schroder
Raptors get: Evan Mobley

Why?
Cavs add better fitting pieces next to Mitchell and add depth.
Jazz get their Center, allowing them to move JJJ to PF.
Raptors get the best player in the deal without giving up Scottie Barnes.

29 Apr 2026 14:37:59
I love this for Toronto, but why would the Cavs do this?

29 Apr 2026 20:27:56
No sense for the Cavs. If you are trading Mobley, you should target a superstar like Giannis.

10 Apr 2026 03:59:34
Cavs get: Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly, '29 frp via BOS, MIL or POR and 3 2nds ('29 HOU, '29 LAL and '32 UTA).
Wizards get: Jarrett Allen

Why?
Cavs add a big that can stretch the floor next to Mobley, a promising wing and some picks.
Wizards get an experienced former all-star big on a good contract to form a trio of Trae Young, Anthony Davis and Jarrett Allen to go along with their young players.

Extend Coulibaly 4yr, $100 million.

10 Apr 2026 14:49:26
This is a joke right?

11 Apr 2026 00:16:15
This is much closer value wise if you remove Sarr.

11 Apr 2026 12:32:04
Overvaluing Jarrett Allen much. Lmao

27 Feb 2026 15:38:21
Lakers next season

Cavs/ Lakers

Cavs get Lebron, Bronny & Hayes+ 2032 1st
Lakers get Allen & Strus

Lakers/ Nets

Lakers get Sharpe
Nets get Ayton& 3 2nds

Lakers resign austin reaves 4yr/ 150mil

Doncic/ Bufkin
Reaves/ Knecht
Smart/ Strus/ Thiero
Hachimura/ Vanderbilt
Allen/ Sharpe

Take all the distractions and let Luka and Reaves run this team.

28 Feb 2026 12:21:50
Why would the Nets do this? Sharpe is more valuable than Aston at this point, and the Nets have around 18 future 2nds. This does nothing for them.

05 Apr 2026 01:22:09
LeBron will be a free agent.

13 Feb 2026 13:45:12

SG:Kennard

13 Feb 2026 16:50:26
Why would the Cavs trade Jarrett Allen for LeBron when they can sign him outright?

13 Feb 2026 23:16:53
LBJ is not going to take a discount.

14 Feb 2026 02:35:47
How do you know that? If he wants to win, he won't gut the roster just to get paid.

14 Feb 2026 19:47:30
I agree with Gasupo, he wont take a paycut “to win”
He would have done it in LA.

15 Feb 2026 02:02:17
The Cavs can't do a S&T, they're over the second apron.

Even if it was possible, I wouldn't do it.

He can come as a free agent and keep the depth intact.

15 Feb 2026 13:30:23
Only in LaLa Land.

03 Feb 2026 07:43:18
Cavs get: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Alex Antetokounmpo.
Bucks get: Evan Mobley, Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson, Nae'Qwan Tomlin, '28 and '30 firsts returned, '31 Cavs unprotected and '30 and '32 Cavs pick swaps.
Trail Blazers get: Darius Garland

Why?
Cavs go for it. They get a superstar in his prime. Jrue is familiar with Giannis. We also get his brothers.
Bucks get an insane package that no other team is going to beat.
Trail Blazers get their point guard of the future.

02 Feb 2026 16:33:27

02 Feb 2026 17:12:14
No thanks. Not a fan of Barrett. Towns seems like a good fit on paper, but his defense is an issue.

02 Feb 2026 10:33:44

Fanspo

Cavs get: Michael Porter Jr and Devin Carter
Nets get: Darius Garland, Lonzo Ball and 2 2nds
Kings get: Day'Ron Sharpe and Craig Porter Jr.

Why?
Cavs get a Mitchell sidekick, a Garland replacement and save money.
Nets get an all-star point guard and 2 2nds.
Kings get 2 young players.

02 Feb 2026 12:40:49
I like this idea.
Garland is a nice building block for the Nets.

02 Feb 2026 13:10:00
The Nets just drafted two promising point guards.

01 Feb 2026 18:26:30
Cavs get: Michael Porter Jr. and Reed Sheppard
Rockets get: Darius Garland and Cam Thomas
Nets get: Fred VanVleet, Max Strus, Dorian Finney Smith, '27 first via Suns and 3 2nds

Why?
Cavs address the need for a wing and replace Garland with Sheppard.
Rockets get their point guard and a scorer.
Nets get a good package of picks and could flip DFS for more.

Cavs get: Kevon Looney and Saddiq Bey
Pelicans get: Max Strus and 2 2nds
Nets get: Lonzo Ball and a 2nd

Why?
Cavs get two veteran role players with size and save money.
Pelicans get a 3 pt specialist and 2 2nds.
Nets get another 2nd for cheap.

01 Feb 2026 23:12:41
Don’t like this for Pels.

01 Feb 2026 05:52:47
Cavs get: Saddiq Bey
Pelicans get: Lonzo Ball and '28 2nd

Why?
Cavs add a solid wing, fix the logjam at the guard position and save money.
Pelicans get Ball's valuable contract and a 2nd round pick.

24 Jan 2026 13:11:09
Lakers blow it up and rebuild. Hawks try to win a championship this year. This would have to be 2 separate trades per the NBA rules.

Lakers send- LeBron James and Deandre Ayton

Hawks send- Porzingas (exp) Z Risacher Dyson Daniels and a future 1st. Not the Pelicans pick for 2026. Works on trade machine.

2nd trade-

Lakers send- Bronny, Smart

Hawks send any expiring contract Luke Kennard. If the Lakers want to move on from Vanderbilt along with Bronny and Smart we could give them expiring deal of CJ McCollum instead of Luke Kennard. Throw in a 2nd round pick on either deal and adding any bench player for roster compliance.

Lakers would have all expiring contracts. They are not winning a title this year and LeBron ain't waving his trade clause unless he thinks he can win a title. Maybe the Cavaliers could make a deal for the Lakers for him but I can't think of any other team that could make a deal work. The Cavs are way over the cap.

28 Jan 2026 21:30:09
So to be clear, you want to have a mini blow up of the hawks for a 41 year old making 52 million on an expiring contract (could retire or move on at any point), who is clearly on the downside of his career. Still very good but the glory days are gone. And for good measure you’ll through in the most baffling enigma of a center that two teams have all ready let go. Sorry, not the trade I want the Hawks to make.

24 Jan 2026 05:04:59
Cleveland-Lakers-Hornets

Cleveland- LeBron James, Bronny James, Pat Connaughton, Mousa Diabate

Lakers- Jarrett Allen, Miles Bridges, Max Strus

Hornets- DeAndre Hunter, Deandre Ayton, Dalton Knecht, 1st round pick Lakers, 1st round pick Cleveland

The Cavaliers give honor to Lebron setting his retirement stage where he started also gaining stability and ready to compete in the east.

Garland-Ball-Bronny
Mitchell-Merrill
Tyson-Connaughton
James-Wade-Nance Jr
Mobley-Diabate

Lakers improve youth and athleticism, gives Luka the teammates that better fit in his style

Doncic-Vincent-Smith Jr
Reaves-Laravia
Smart-Hachimura-Strus
Bridges-Vanderbilt-Thiero
Allen-Hayes-Timme

Hornets get some assets and a starting center

Ball-MannJames
Miller-Sexton-Knecht
Knueppel-Green-Williams
Hunter-Salaun
Ayton-Kalkbrenner.

24 Jan 2026 11:36:53
I mean just looking at the value makes sense. The idea makes sense all 3 teams need a shakeup. Not sure if the salaries match per NBA rules. Cleveland is over the cap not sure they could do a deal like this but it would be interesting to see.
