Cleveland - Wizards 

Post#1 » by bgrep14 » Wed Jan 15, 2025 4:37 am

Cavs: Okoro and Niang

Wizards: Valenciunas and Bey

Wizards get a young SG/SF to add to their rebuild

Cavs get under the tax and get a solid backup center in case Allen or Mobley get injured.

I'm a hard pass on this. JV is actually owed more than Niang and the Cavs need a player like Okoro for the playoffs.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

I'm conflicted on this. JV is another no-nonsense big, who while I wouldn't but him in Adams class in that regard, he wouldn't go much lower. is the Washington Bey the one that's had a 50 pt night? Or is that the other Bey floating around? :lol:

Drop Bey, swap out TT for Okoro, and it gets more interesting for Cleveland. That said, how much time will JV really play? Ideally, I'd prefer to see Cleveland get a 4/5.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

Agree. Seems like Okoro could be a key piece…
As a Boston fan I’d support the proposed trade though :).

I don’t see WAS selling anything without draft equity back
