I just don't see a Mobley trade anywhere that makes sense for the Cavs and the other team. Mobley for Bridges is not a deal I would do if I am Cleveland and I am unsure if the Nets would even be interested. Mobley for Ingram isn't right for Cleveland and I don't think the Pelicans would do Mobley/filler for Ingram and Murphy. OKC is not going to put Williams into a trade offer for Mobley and that is what the Cavs would ask for. The Cavs aren't going to want draft picks for Mobley.
On paper I think a larger trade of Mobley/Garland for Booker might make sense. Phoenix has a more well-rounded roster and Mitchell extends in Cleveland with Booker as his running mate. There is a 0% chance Gilbert and Ishbia work together on something this big.
I suspect even the idea of trading Mobley ended last night as far as the Cavs F.O. is concerned.
I don't think the Cleveland FO ever has considered it. That is what us fans do.
That being said, how do the Cavs improve moving forward? The move is either resign Mitchell and trade Garland or trade Mitchell.
This playoff is showing the difference in their games. Both need the ball to be effective - either as scorers or distributors.
Teams that could use either as starting guard:
Magic - Garland for M. Wagner (heck for both of them). Is having a SF better for the Magic or to have a PG who can set everyone up and play through Banchero?
Heat - Garland for Herro/filler and picks. garland can run the offense, allowing Rozier to come off the bench, Herro gives Cleveland better shooting from 3.
Nets - Garland for Bridges/Sharpe but that really means Nets are in full rebuild. Garland being young gives them more time.
Raptors - but they have nothing to trade.
Wizards - Garland for Kuzma/Bagely. Cleveland gets back ups at both big positions which seems a need since Allen/Mobley play/sit hurt often. Value not the same but solves a problem for each team.
Pistons - Garland for Duren/Fournier. Pistons move Cunningham to the 2 and they have a backcourt for the future.
Nuggets - Garland for KPJ. Cavs get the SF they have been trying to get while the Nuggets move Murray to the 2 and reduce the injury risks for Porter.
Pelicans - Garland for Ingram, same result as with F. Wagner. Gets the Cavs the SF and returns the Pelicans a PG.
Spurs - Garland for role players and picks.
The other teams really have nothing else to offer that would be valuable.
