I think a lot of the deals posted early are way too generous for the Cavaliers. If they can get a Suggs or Daniels level player, they aren't going to get multiple firsts along with them. ATL seems like a really bad trading partner anyway, some of the NO stuff seemingly could make sense. If Suggs were healthy i think that would be a very fair 1:1.
I also think if ATL is sticking with Trae - there isn't a better backcourt pairing for him than Daniels, so it'd have to be a stupid offer, imo.
Suggs is everyone in ORL's favorite, absolutely heartbeat of the team...but they've got KCP and Anthony Black in-house to defend at a very high level (Suggs is the best of them, but...) and a total lack of offensive playmaking in the backcourt. It's just a practical move for ORL if they can't find enough offense while keeping Suggs...I honestly hope they keep him, but the trade is a logical one to discuss, from both sides, imo.
