Oddly it does have that Kyrie -4- Thomas feel to it.
Thankfully it can't be done. If we slim it down to just the legal part, Garland @ $39.5M -4- Pool @ $31.5M its pretty tough to put something together that's tolerable for CLE. Would start at Pick #6 rather than #18, and CLE's choice of Carrington or George.
The odds of Garland getting traded now that he's had that surgery are much lower. As is the case with Suggs, it's really unlikely that a trade partner is waiving the physical requirement given what they'll be asked to give up.
Regardless, the Cavs aren't trading for Poole. They don't share your objective of getting Mitchell to demand a trade.
Ha! No interest in making anyone ask for a trade (no matter what I think of the deal that got them here), that simply lowers their trade value. If i want Mitchell gone I want to do it preemptively - and that is an option because as long as one of the little guys is gone for fair value I'm happy.
Also of note, i said no to the OP deal and don't want to trade for Poole either. For the sake of discussion I offered up what I think is a fairer starting point to a potential Poole discussion. Garland -4- Poole, Pick #6, and Carrington/George. I didn't say I wanted to do that deal either, simply offered it as to where i think the teams would need to be to get something done.
A second apron team with title aspirations isn't getting saddled with Poole's contract and hoping for the best.
