CLE TRADES: Strus, Garland, Allen

CLE RECEIVES: Lebron, Bronny, Wilson, 2027 #1 BKY, 2029 #1

Cavs lose some depth but take a chance Lebron can get them over the top in the East....maybe Horford and Brogdon for the vet min. signings to fill out the roster?




LAL TRADES: Lebron, Bronny

LAL RECEIVES: Sharpe, Strus, Allen

Lakers move on from Lebron and begin the Luka era


BKY TRADES: Sharpe, Wilson

BKY RECEIVES: Garland

Next use some capspace to pick up an all star level guard

Nope. No aggregation for the Cavaliers

It probably works in the trade checker but might need a Wade dump to let Cleveland fill out the roster.

That said, this is too much for the Cavs to give up for one year of LeBron.

But they are 2nd apron, they need to dump to below that before they can aggregate salaries

Hunter in Allen's place is much more likely from the Cavs' perspective. But the concept is pretty DOA unless you're convinced the Cavs are totally out on Garland.

(Are the Cavs getting two 1sts from Brooklyn? The OP shows they're getting picks but other teams aren't sending them out.)

None of it is likely. Every single reporter with access has said it's not something the Cavs are interested in doing.

I'm sure the Lakers would love to get a good return for a 40-year old LBJ before he leaves next summer, but they'll have to look elsewhere.

More likely <> likely.

I'm just saying that Hunter is more palatable salary to part with than Allen.
