Jarrett Allen and Nic Claxton are roughly the same age and their salaries next year are fairly close.

In a couple years Allen will be much more expensive while Claxton will have a much smaller cap hit.

As the Cavs have many more cap problems than the Nets who have the best cap situation in the NBA would it be in the interests of both teams to swap these players?

In the event that this does make sense, who is sending draft capital?

cleveland cant take back more salary and cant aggregate

Claxton makes more and is worse. Set aside that Cleveland can't do this what is Brooklyn giving them to do this?

I guess it is a moot point given the cap limitations.

The Nets have all kinds of ways they could sweeten the deal if they preferred Allen and if it was possible.

When I assumed it was possible to swap the players I was curious to see how people thought switching them might benefit either team.
