I think the Nets could easily beat that offer for Allen.

Why would the Nets do that? They have the position covered, plus they overpaid to get their picks back. Aren't they rebuilding?

Because the Nets did not get all their picks back.

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.

Doesn't seem like CLE is making getting under the apron a priority. I'd value that as a nice bonus, but not something they're going to degrade the roster to do.

I know many want to dump Allen, but when the final outcome of the offseason has Mobley listed as the starting C I'm not going to be a fan of it. CLE already needs another big. Jalen Smith wouldn't be bad as that 3rd big. Moving Allen to get him isn't solving the issue though. And starting Hunter at the 4, I guess just to make sure we're the smallest team in the league, isn't exciting either.
