CLE/SAC Not a Garland trade

Derozan, TPE for Hunter and Okoro

This is a trade that does a lot for both teams. The Cavs upgrade from Hunter to Derozan, and they save enough money to resign Ty Jerome this allows the cavs to improve their roster without losing any off their core players.

For the kings this brings in two long forwards, Hunter who should likely start, and Okoro who can back up both forward spots. I think Hunter is potentially good enough to shift Lavine back to SG and allow us to bring Monk off the bench and greatly improve the bench. Kings still need to find a point guard

I don't have DDR as an upgrade over Hunter in the playoffs. I don't have him as filling a need on the Cavs roster.

Hunter is a much better shooter than Demar and better defender. I don't see Cleveland considering this.

Okoro or another piece + 2nd + Cash to Sacramento's TPE? Sure.

Agreed. Cleveland doesn’t need another guy to get a bucket. They have Mitchell and Garland. They need a guy that can do a bit of everything: shoot, slash, defend, and just fit in. Hunter is the better fit overall for them.

And yeah, something smaller of just Okoro into an exception would make much more sense for Cleveland, even if they had to pay a 2nd or two. Though, I have a hunch if they don’t insist on getting it done before July 1, they can wait and see who loses a free agent, and work out a deal where they send Okoro into someone’s outgoing sign and trade.

First, CLE can't do multiple guys -4- a single guy deal.

I don't this DD has much more value than Hunter, if any. If a Garland/KMurray deal was already done, maybe there would be room for something like this because CLE would have the need for a good half court creator.

The tpe that the kings send would like include Terrence Davis to fix this issue. The trade works in the trade checker.

Fanspo's site doesn't have Mobley's DPOY/All-NBA raise in their salary numbers, so while your deal gets the Cavs under the 2nd apron on their site, it doesn't actually get the Cavs there. So the Cavs can't aggregate, even though they can in Fanspo. (If you're using a different trade checker, make sure they've got Mobley earning what Mitchell is earning in 2025-26.)

I like this.

Send something dead money to make the second apron factor work.
