Why would Cleveland trade Jarrett Allen for a 42 year old player! The Lakers are just asinine in their thinking!

So the Cavs are going to lose their only centre for the last season of a 42 year old who is better with the ball in his hands as both their other two stars?

It should be Mobley... for Lebron, Rui and all the picks.
And before you balk at the suggestion, just look at how much more balanced the CLE roster would be post trade. Obviously, LAL would be better as well.

honestly i love it for both teams. Cavs' two big lineup f'n sucks, let's be honest. it works during the grind of the regular season but lacks the dynamism needed for playoff push.
Cavs should do this while also finding a way to flip Harden into 2 or 3 solid, solid role players. Harden doesn't scare anybody anymore, and Lebron should only be sharing the playmaking duties with one other player (Mitchell).

This would be a terrible trade for the Cavs. They have Allen on a value contract for the next three years while still in his 20s and they'll trade that away for someone who may retire in a year?
Cavs only do this if Allen demanded he wanted out

They're also interested in trading Lebron to Denver for Jokic plus assets.

They also can't flip Harden for 2-3 role players. And even if they could, they wouldn't have a PG. They went 19-7 with Harden in the lineup. They are better with him than without him.

I heard they're also interested trading him to the Harlem Globetrotters for Meadowlark Lemon.

They clearly want to win now… who cares if bron retires in a year or two. Mobley and Allen don’t work together. Even if they don’t make it past the first round they will already made their money back in one season with ticket and merch sales

Lakers would need to include 2x unprotected 1st Rd Picks + Bronny + LeBron for any deal for Cavs All Star Jarrett Allen.
And if they want to turn page on LeBron era this is a no brainer.
JA is perfect fit for Luka gm.
