Cleveland/Nets 

Post#1 » by bgrep14 » Thu Dec 26, 2024 9:11 pm

Cleveland: Okoro and Niang

Nets: DFS and Sharpe

Cleveland adds a bit more size on the wing and gets a backup center to rotate with Allen and Mobley

Nets: Get a younger wing that has team control the next few years that can play 2/3.

Is this close if not how far off?

I think a DFS for Okoro swap is good value for both teams.

I think adding the Sharpe for Niang swap means the Cavs are stealing value. Nets fans see Sharpe as a valuable long term backup (even though the team chose not to extend him and he hasn't played much this year).

I don't think the money works (at least not without putting the Nets into the tax). From the Cavs perspective, I'm not sure DFS is the better bet than Okoro at this point. I think it's at best arguable, but that once you factor in the contract status and age of both players, I'd rather have Okoro. I'd trade TT and a couple seconds for Sharpe though.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.
