Cavs get: Patrick Williams, Kevin Huerter, Ousmane Dieng, Dalen Terry, 12th via Bulls, 24th via Thunder, '26 frp via Thunder from Jaz, '26, '28 and '30 via Bulls
Bulls get: Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Ajay Mitchell, Dillon Jones

Why?
Cavs get a great package for Mitchell. Williams and Huerter have some upside, Dieng is a nice prospect and the pick package could be very helpful moving forward. We also save $31.8M.
Bulls get a superstar for a reasonable price, and a 3pt specialist veteran in Strus. Mitchell and Jones are added to give the Thunder some cap flexibility.
Thunder get a defensive specialist on a team friendly deal and a stretch big.

Cavs get: Patrick Williams, Kevin Huerter, Jalen Smith, Dalen Terry, 12th pick, '26, '28 and '30 unprotected firsts
Bulls get: Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus and Dean Wade

Why?
Cavs need to move Mitchell if they want to win, when the games matter, he goes into hero ball.
Patrick Williams still has a chance to breakout, and a change of scenery might help.
Huerter has interesting tools like size, athleticism and shooting.
Jalen Smith gives us a solid back-up big.
We also save $18.5m

Bulls get a superstar for a reasonable price, and they also get a 3-point specialist and a stretch 4.

17 Jun 2025 14:49:55
Getting rid of Mitchell for those bums give you a worse chance of winning.

17 Jun 2025 02:24:02
Cavs get: Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler, 21st pick, '26 Cle pick swap, '27 Lakers frp, '28 Cle pick swap and '31 frp via Suns
Utah gets: Donovan Mitchell and Max Strus

Why?
Cavs move on from Mitchell to try and improve ball movement. Strus is added to save us some money. The picks are good to have moving forward.
Utah gets the superstar they drafted and try to compete.

Found it, LAL may challenged to resign Hachimura and Reaves. CAVS need to update but are full loaded, like LAL and neigther Allen/Mobley are the perfect frontcourt nor Garland/Mitchell are the perfect backcourt.

LAL are all in but may fit well - Cavs can resign if it fits or have cap next year to optimize!

CAVS 1st, 2x1st swap, Reaves, Knecht, Hachimura
LAL Allen, Okeke, Mitchell & Paul, Lopez may join the bench for low

10 Jun 2025 19:40:37
Bro, that's horrible for the Cavs.

Pf:Washington/Flagg/Wade
SF:Kneght/Hunter/Struss
SG:Reaves/ K Thompson
Pg:Garland/CP3

09 Jun 2025 15:53:20
Cavs would have no guard/ wing defenders. East is wide open next year.

10 Jun 2025 00:12:12
Hard pass on the first trade. Second trade is interesting but unrealistic, no way Dallas trades Flagg. CP3 is headed to the Lakers.

11 Jun 2025 14:04:45
Swap Klay Thompson with Max Christie (The money still works) . Cavaliers need young players if they are going in this direction, and Christie makes much more sense than Klay.

09 Jun 2025 00:40:17

Not a good trade for cavs Mobley is a hard no. He's going to be good and pair him up with a true center is perfect. Maybe Allen and more picks or prospects but keeping Mobley is key for the cavs.

05 Jun 2025 09:44:19
I noticed that the Clippers arent being talked about in here, I see their team as mediocre at best and might not get to see a deep playoff run in the near future. Yes they took the Nuggets to 7 games but they are massacred in game 7. Their stars are old and injury prone and their supporting cast are not that great either aside from Zubac and Powell. Maybe it's time for them to rebuild and gain assets. I believe they can fetch a pick or 2 for Harden and a good haul for Kawhi as well as Powell.
But who might need these players?

Some sensible deal that I think:

Kawhi to Nuggets for Porter Jr, Strawther & package of future picks?
Kawhi to Rockets for Jabari Smith Jr, Brooks & picks?
Kawhi to Dallas or Cavs?
Harden to Orlando?
Harden to where?

05 Jun 2025 13:04:47
i can't see any team giving up value for Leonard or Harden.
The clippers don't own their own picks, so they have no other choice than doing a rerun and try to get some good free agents in 2027.

Cleveland would want 3 firsts to do that. Even then, might not do it.

31 May 2025 13:13:44
Such a trade could work? It would keep the MLE for LAL as well. Cavs need to improve and Wiz rebuild and have CAP so it could benefit everybody, CAV would create 20M Trade Excelption to sign Reid and use MLE for Alexander-Walker and improve as well, since Allen and Mobley are not the best fit if both starters. Vanderbilt would complement Sarr probably quite well! LA gets the center needed and Allen would fit better as on Cavs and defenders as well as keep the great bench and option for S&T Hachimura and Reaves in the future.

CAV Knecht, sign Reid 20m TE and Alex-Walker 13m TE, 1st
LAL Allen, Okeke, Smart, sign MLE Sharpe
WIZ Vanderbild, Vincent, Kleber, Miltion, 2nd, 1st swap

Allen - Sharpe
LeBron, Hachimura
Finney, Okeke
Luca, Reaves
Smart, Goodwin

30 May 2025 08:25:18
Cavs- KD, Tyus Jones, Oneale

Jones-Jerome
Mitchell-Merrill
Durant-Okoro
Mobley-Oneale
Allen-Wade

Suns- Garland, Strus, Hunter & 1st/s

Garland-Micic
Booker-Strus
Allen-Dunn-Martin
Hunter-Ighodaro
Richards-Plumlee

29 May 2025 02:59:35
Cavs get: Anthony Edwards
Wolves get: Donovan Mitchell and all of our remining firsts

Why?
Cavs get a player who fits better and is younger.
Wolves get a player who could potentially be a better fit because of his playmaking.

29 May 2025 20:14:27
Minnesota doing that would almost be like Dallas trading Luka.

28 May 2025 14:33:46
Cleveland: J Brown
Dal: D Mitchell+Okoro
Nets: Gafford+ 1rnd pick Boston 27
Bos: C Flagg+ Irving (buy out?)

Dal:
C:Lively/Powell
PF:Davis/Washington
SF:Martin/Okoro
SG:Christie/Thompson/Hardy
PG:D Mitchell/Williams

Boston tanks for the 2026 draft, save money and develops Flagg

The Nets get an extra draft pick

Cleveland swith Mitchell for J Brown, who's a good fit with Garland.

28 May 2025 21:31:06
Yeah Nico was so bad trading Luka, gets even worse doing this idea.

25 May 2025 05:24:23
Cavs get: Jalen Williams, Cody Williams, Ousmane Dieng, KJ Martin and 15th pick
Thunder get: Donovan Mitchell, Walker Kessler and Svi Mykhailiuk
Jazz get: Isaiah Hartenstein and their own 2026 first via Thunder

Why?
Cavs add a star in J-Dub plus some other goodies and save money.
Thunder get a superstar who is a perfect fit next to Shai and a young big that can defend the rim.
Jazz get a veteran big and their pick back to potentially start competing.

25 May 2025 09:43:04
Thunder is few wins away from the chip, why would they break that core? And Mitchell isn't a proven winner.
