Not enough for Giannis. None of those players have much value and the picks are mediocre.

23 May 2026 08:44:04
That's a.

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.

24 Feb 2026 10:59:42

Bridges doesn't have that kind of value.

24 Feb 2026 11:59:09
Reaves and Brunson are terrible defensively.

22 Feb 2026 13:46:03

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.

04 Feb 2026 09:53:52
Denver is missing someone like Reaves - so basically LA could create 6x1st value for Giannis!

LAL Giannes, Prince, Harris, Anthony, Brothers
MIL Braun, Holmes, 1st 2031 + LaRavia, Knecht, 1st 2031 + release (Tyson, Pickett, Hachim., Vinc., Kleb. )
DEN Reaves

Unfortunately, also Denver becomes better - but Lakers would close up to as well.

Smart, Luca, Bron, Giannis, Ayton
Anthony, Harris, Prince, Vander, Hayes.

01 Feb 2026 20:53:26
Hawks-Nets-Lakers

Hawks acquire Claxton, MPJ, Knecht & Thiero

30 Jan 2026 02:17:41
There’s a report telling that Giannis might consider pairing up with Ant in Minnesota. But Minnesota doesnt really have the assets to acquire him so they would need to be creative:

Minnesota-Milwaukee-LA Lakers-Detroit

Minnesota get Giannis, Turner, Vincent, Trent Jr, D Robinson
- they get the superstar pairing with Ant and get rotational players who can shoot

Divincenzo/ Conley/ Vincent
Edwards/ Trent Jr
Robinson/ Shannon
Giannis/ Reid/ Ingles
Turner/ Beringer

Milwaukee get Ayton, T Harris, Knecht, Dillingham, Kleber (exp), Vanderbilt, 2 1sts from Lakers, 3 1sts from Detroit, 2026 & 2032 1sts from Minnesota, 2028 swap with Minnesota
- rebuild

Lakers get Gobert & Levert
- gets a defensive anchor and a bench scoring option

Doncic/ Smart/ James Jr
Reaves/ Laravia
Lebron/ Levert
Hachimura/ Timme/ Thiero
Gobert/ Hayes

Detroit get McDaniels, Randle, G harris
- consolidates and goes all in

Cunningham/ Jenkins/ Sasser
Thompson/ Ivey/ Harris
McDaniels/ Holland
Randle/ Klintman/ Reed
Duren/ Stewart.
