Cavs get: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Alex Antetokounmpo.

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.

No thanks. Not a fan of Barrett. Towns seems like a good fit on paper, but his defense is an issue.

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.

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.

22 Jan 2026 11:49:34

I’m not a Blazers fan, but it behalf of them, i’m telling you they arent trading Clingan for Allen.

22 Jan 2026 19:39:50
I am that Blazer fan. Hardest of passes. Not giving up Clingan for Allen, let alone the first that they give up too.

24 Jan 2026 11:45:25
As a Hawks fan I would do this deal. Not the Pelicans unprotected 1st for this year but any other future 1st I would do this deal.

19 Jan 2026 23:36:37
Cavs get: Bam Adebayo, Davion Mitchell and Simone Fontecchio
Heat get: Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, Larry Nance Jr., '31 unprotected first, '28 and '32 2nd round picks.

Why?
Cavs get a good big who would fit very well next to Mobley. Davion Mitchell is a good defender so he fits well next to Donovan.
Heat get two established former all-stars and an unprotected first.

20 Jan 2026 01:16:27

05 Jan 2026 03:32:51
Cavs get: Ty Jerome, Cam Thomas and Ziaire Williams
Nets get: Max Strus, Larry Nance Jr. and 4 2nds via Cavs
Grizzlies get: Lonzo Ball

Why?
Cavs add much needed scoring punch off the bench. We also get a Hunter back-up on a team friendly deal.
Nets get 4 2nd round picks while only absorbing $5.9 million in salaries for this year.
Grizzlies dump Jerome without attaching any assets and also get Lonzo's valuable contract.
