It's Mobley and they don't look back. From there they'd decide if he can play PF with Allen or look for a S&T for Allen.

I think this one is pretty easily Mobley. Whether CLE wants to continue on with the Garland/Sexton duo or move on from one of them. Either situation pairing them up with Mobley will be a good idea. Mobley wont affect either one on the offensive end in a negative way. His passing will actually be a nice addition (as long as the coach uses him right). Then defensively he is a good guy to pair with them to develop going forward.

I think ideally they take one of Sexton/Garland (whoever they want to keep less out of the two), pair them up with Allen and set that duo out on a trade and hopefully try and get some solid wing talent on that team. And maybe get a nice little young trio to start building around.

It’s going to be Mobley because Cleveland is an incompetent franchise that thinks SexLand is a long term back court solution. Really should be Suggs though because it’s a guard league and he’s a five star prospect with good size and no weaknesses. Ideally one of Sexton or Garland should be a Jason Terry sixth man type.

Just trying to troll? Mobley is the better prospect and regardless of what you think of Sexton/Garland, you pick the better player and adjust from there.

Mobley is a great big man prospect, but I’ve got Suggs higher on my board. It’s not like one of them is that far and away better than the other one.
