Cleveland/Detroit

Cavs: Garland, Saliou Niang, and Khalifa Diop

Detroit: Ivey, Thompson, and Stewart.

Cavs: take a flyer on Ivey although coming off injury. Then get two defensive guys they can use and save a couple million

Detroit: Giving up Thompson is probably tough but they retain a 2x All Star in his prime who is locked up and likely a good fit next to Cunningham.

That’s a big no

Way too many pieces of our core going out for someone we don’t need.

DOnt see Detroit trading both Ivey and Ausar, they're better off staying the course

Is Garland really that good of a fit with Cade?

He would be, but this particular Cavs fan would trade him for much less than the F.O.

Ivey, Thompson, and Stewart aren’t ready to win in the playoffs. Directionally wrong for Cleveland like every other Garland trade posted by the OP.

That’s an easy pass.

Honestly don't see either side liking this

I'd love to have Thompson, but Stewart is 1 of those guys I just CANNOT entertain on a team I follow, like... at ALL! He's in Draymond territory for me.

If recent years are any indication, Cleveland's entire team isn't ready to win in the playoffs.

Agreed that OP is an easy pass for us, though.

Not really, no. He's at his best playing lead guard on the ball.

So, three of our top eight rotation players (and two starters) for a PG… when our best player is a PG.

What are you possibly thinking here?
