3 team trade LAL/CAVS/ORL - everyone wins?? 

Post#1 » by SlimShady83 » Sat May 31, 2025 9:33 pm

Want to chime in on all the Allen rumor trades going around, most likely because of the cba? this 3 team trade is probably a long shot but let's see.

Trade works on spotrac and I think all teams can benefit, maybe Magic lose the most?

All teams stay under the 2nd apron.

Cavs Out: Allen
Cavs In: Wendell Carter Jr, Knecht

Magic Out: WCJ
Magic In: Reaves, Hayes, Milton and Lakers FRP

The Why

Magic:
- Milton is just in there to make up the $$$ to work and on short contract
- Hayes also just in there for $$$ but is expiring cheap contract
- Reaves, many people think a Reaves/WCJ is a good swap and people say Magic have too many bigs and Reaves would be good for Magic?? they get FRP to sweeten the deal.
Will have to drop 2 players

Cavs:
- Lose Allen, but gain in Wendell and sharp shooter Knecht while staying under the CBA.
Will have to drop 1 player

Lakers: No need for a reason everyone knows why haha.

Allen goes nowhere, just evaporates into the ether? One hell of a magic trick.

Hayes is a free agent, and I think this is a steal for Orlando. At the very least, the picks should go from Orlando to the CAVS.

For second, it finally looked someone isn't overvaluing Austin Reaves in these trades for once until I saw the Cavaliers portion of the trade. Why are the Cavaliers doing this? Wendell Carter barely has any value at all at this point and Dalton Knecht is simply salary filler. They become a far worse team with no assets coming their way. This is a laughable offer for the Cavaliers and they would rightly hang up the phone.

Cavs cut out the Magic instead of letting them steal value. Maybe rearrange pieces to take back Vando or Rui instead of Knecht.

Actually thought Magic were the losers here? Instead of giving them the FRP, It will go to Cavs to help the Cavs out more anything else to help the Cavs out in the deal?

Yeah, Orlando gets cut out here.

Allen for Reaves, Knecht, and a 1st round pick isn't terrible for the Cavs. Reaves just isn't a good fit in Cleveland.

This should just be locked? Even if the OP included all of the details, it's not a reasonable deal whatsoever.
Well at least we're not Detroit!
