The bigger challenge is to get useful pieces that are serviceable in return.


I really dont think this is the case. Cleveland plays good team basketball and disciplined defense, Russ is a freelance on both sides of the floor. Its a horrible fit.

Westbrook is untradable outside John Wall IMO.


Yeah, it’s not like Cleveland cavaliers have been the paragon of good team basketball and disciplined defense for ages now. They have had a quarter of a good season and they haven’t made the playoffs without Lebron James since the 90s, so may be that is more valuable to them.

James Harden? Kevin Durant? Chris Paul? Dwight Howard? Jimmy Butler? Paul George? Andre Iguodala?

And Dwight howard and Andre iguodala as well

Chris Paul probably the only good example as he has been traded without requesting, but even then it was because rockets saw him as aging and the thunder were about to tank. Russy has been purposely jettisoned from teams
