Too much for Davis!
Atlanta gets a steal
#3 I could see happening.

08 May 2025 03:21:56
Cavs get: Tari Eason, Dyson Daniels, Reed Sheppard, Terrance Mann and '27 and '29 frp via Suns
Rockets get: Donovan Mitchell and Onyeka Okongwu
Hawks get: Alperen Sengun and Jock Landale
Pistons get: Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang and 2 2nds ('25 via Bucks, '27 via Nuggets)

Why?
Cleveland adds size and defense. They also save a ton of money.
Rockets add a superstar number one option and a good big man.
Hawks add a star big man who is a good fit next to Trae Young.
Pistons get some players who are familiar with Bickerstaff and some 2nds.

23 Feb 2025 03:42:24
Kawhi to Cleveland?

CLE receive:
-Kawhi Leonard

LAC receive:
-Darius Garland
-Isaac Okoro
-2031 first round pick
-2030 pick swap

23 Feb 2025 11:38:30
Cleveland has a good thing going, this gives them a great opportunity to destroy it.

23 Feb 2025 14:13:35
If you can somehow find a way to get Kawhi without giving up Mobley Mitchell Allen and Garland. That would be nice but this one is a no for Cavs.

24 Feb 2025 16:58:59
I want no part of Kawhi. He would ruin what we have going, and he has glass knees.

05 Feb 2025 19:45:02
Cavs get: Patrick Williams and Dalen Terry
Bulls get: Max Strus, Georges Niang and '31 unprotected first

Why?
Cavs add two wings with size and duck the tax.
Bulls get a high variable first and some players they can flip for more assets.

05 Feb 2025 19:24:09
Cavs get: De'Andre Hunter and Larry Nance Jr.
Hawks get: Max Strus, Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang and '31 unprotected first

Why?

02 Feb 2025 03:18:15
Cavs get: De'Andre Hunter

Pistons get: Vít Krejčí

Why?
Cavs add a tall wing, and we duck the tax.
Hawks get cap relief and a few seconds.
Pistons add another shooter on a great contract.

02 Feb 2025 18:58:08
Can’t see this happening. You are offering two players that are substantially below the talent level from the Hawk’s you are getting in return. They cost about the same this year and could then leave. So it’s really just a salary dump for Cleveland. Lastly, the two draft picks are of little value since both will likely be near the end of the second round.

01 Feb 2025 23:58:59
Cavs get: Collin Sexton, Walker Kessler and Brice Sensabaugh
Jazz get: Caris LeVert, Georges Niang, Tristan Thompson and '31 unprotected first

Why?
Cavs upgrade their bench, add a wing prospect with size and duck the tax.
Jazz add an unprotected first with upside and some players they can flip for more assets.

29 Jan 2025 03:27:53
Cavs/ Lakers

Lebron to the Cavs

Niang Lavert Strus plus salary filler back to the lakers attach the future first if need be

Cavs go from title contenders to favorite for next 2 years

Lakers get back Flexibility a couple starters and a future pick

31 Jan 2025 19:21:10
I'm not opposed to this. The biggest question to me would be fit. Our frontcourt isn't the greatest at shooting.

24 Jan 2025 23:48:38
Cavs get: Collin Sexton and Dalen Terry
Jazz get: Ayo Dosunmu and Caris LeVert
Bulls get: Georges Niang, Johnny Juzang and two 2nds via Cle ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets)

Why?
Cavs bolster their roster by adding a familiar face and a tall, athletic wing.
Jazz unload Sexton in favor of an expiring and a good player with a team friendly contract.
Bulls get a couple solid players and some assets for a possible rebuild.

25 Jan 2025 13:05:37
Looks bad for Chicago.

24 Jan 2025 15:48:41
Cavs get: Collin Sexton, Deni Avdija and Walker Kessler
Jazz get: Anfernee Simons, Caris LeVert and Georges Niang
Blazers get: John Collins, Max Strus and '31 unprotected first via Cavs

Why?
Cavs bolster their roster, Sexton can be our 6th man, Avdija would start at the 3 and Kessler would be our 3rd big. We also avoid the tax in the process.
Jazz add Simons while keeping all of their firsts. They can flip LeVert and Niang for more picks.
Blazers give Sharpe the starting role, Collins could be flipped for more assets, and they get a high variable first.

24 Jan 2025 16:45:52
Horrendous for Portland. That’s not enough of a return for Avdija alone. Maybe take him out and it’s not bad.

Kessler and Avdija probably require Cleveland to send out like 4 firsts. Both teams would want 2.

24 Jan 2025 19:14:16
A trade that is so homer. At a glance i thought it's so bad for the Jazz then i saw what the Blazers are getting and it's laughable at the least.

25 Jan 2025 00:29:20
Yea a minimum of 3 firsts short and I'm not even sure that would do it.

28 Jan 2025 13:59:31
This is not bad! … other than some picks moved around it can accommodate every team. I’d let it be if I’m the commish. Let’s gooooooooo!

23 Jan 2025 00:44:21
Cavs get: Collin Sexton, Walker Kessler and Brice Sensabaugh
Jazz get: Caris LeVert, Georges Niang, Ty Jerome and 2031 unprotected first

Why?
Cavs address some needs. They get a back-up guard, a 3rd big and a wing prospect. We also duck the tax.
Jazz add a few players they can flip for more assets and a high variable first round pick.

21 Jan 2025 06:02:05
Cavs get: Sandro Mamukelashvili, Sidy Cissoko and Harrison Ingram
Spurs get: Jaylon Tyson, Tristan Thompson and Emoni Bates

Why?
Cavs add some tall wing prospects, a reliable back-up big and they duck the tax with this trade.
Spurs take a look at Tyson, who is cost controlled, and they also take a flyer on Bates.

18 Jan 2025 15:13:30
Cavs get: Dalen Terry and Torrey Craig
Bulls get: Georges Niang and two 2nds ('25 Den, '27 Mil)

Why?
Cavs adds size at the wing, a veteran forward, and duck the tax.
Bulls get some assets for a possible rebuild.

05 Jan 2025 15:02:33
Cavs get: Patrick Williams and Dalen Terry
Bulls get: Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and two 2nds ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets)

Why?
Cavs add wings with size. Williams is a gamble with upside and Terry is young, has great length and an improving shooter. We also duck the tax with this trade.
Bulls dump Williams after signing him to a lucrative deal. They get an expiring, a small contract and some 2nds.

14 Jan 2025 15:12:02
For Cavaliers it does not make sense. A team that good to take such a gamble would require the player to be surefire starter material (idk like wiggins) . Patrick williams theoretically plays defence and shoot 3's. In practice he is Cam Reddish 2.0 (maybe better shooter) .

04 Jan 2025 23:52:21
Cavs get: Cam Johnson
Nets get: Caris LeVert, Jaylon Tyson, '30 unprotected swap, '31 unprotected first and 4 2nds

Why?
Cavs go all in, finally get a big wing.
Nets get a decent return. A good prospect, an expiring, and two high variable firsts.

11 Dec 2024 22:01:32
Washington - Lakers - Cavaliers

Washington get Vincent, Niang, Christie, Wood, 1st from Cavaliers

Lakers get Valanciunas & Strus

Cavaliers get Kuzma

08 Dec 2024 01:29:13
Cavs get: Patrick Williams and Dalen Terry
Bulls get: Simone Fontecchio, Georges Niang and 2 2nds ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets) .
Pistons get: Max Strus

Why?
I feel like this trade benefits all sides. Cavs need size at the wing, they address that in this trade.

Chicago dumps Patrick Williams, who just signed a pretty juicy 5-year contract. They also get some good role players and a couple 2nd rounders, and finally, they save some money.

Detroit adds a veteran shooter who played for Bickerstaff.

You could swap Strus for LeVert, but I honestly think LeVert is far more important than Strus. Also, LeVert played for Atkinson when he was in Brooklyn, there is some familiarity there.

11 Dec 2024 16:23:41
Detroit is already overloaded with wings. Simone fits the rotation better.

30 Nov 2024 15:01:27
Cavs get: Patrick Williams, Dalen Terry and Adam Sanogo
Bulls get: Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson, Emoni Bates, '30 pick swap, '31 unprotected first and 2 2nds ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets)

Why?
Cleveland adds size on the wing.
Bulls get a solid rebuilding package.

26 Nov 2024 12:52:26
Cleveland - Milwaukee

Cleveland : Khris Middleton & Marjon Beauchamp
- if Khris get healthy, he will he a huge boost to this contending Cavs team. His vet presence would be vital especially in the playoffs. That's the value they are getting

Garland / Jerome / Porter
Mitchell / Merrill / Tyson
Middleton / Okoro
Mobley / Niang / Baeuchamp
Allen / Wade

Milwaukee : Max Strus, Caris Levert & 2nd round pick
- the Bucks get a player who can score a bunch to help Lillard and Giannis, also a 3 and D guy to be inserted on their starting line up

Lillard / Wright
Strus / Levert / Trent Jr
Jackson / Connaughton
Giannis / Prince
Lopez / Portis

26 Nov 2024 19:44:43
Illegal trade.
