I wouldn't mind adding Nance or Kispert. They are both good system fits and have a mostly good track record health wise. Both of them help with depth in different areas like backup center which is a bit thin or securing some good backup shooting long term while being on a good contracts.
They need to trade for Jonas V and someone on the perimeter. We can trade Levert and move up Tyson. We can trade Porter, Levert, Wade,etc. Guys off limits: Mitchell, Mobley, DG, Allen, Jerome, Tyson, Strus. If we can get can Johnson. Things change a lil bit
Let’s trade for Jonas V and Larry Nance
Niang, Wade, Levert and Porter to WAS for Kyle Kuzma and Jonas V
In this era of likes, style over substance and inflated numbers, Mitchell is underrated. I rhink hes a borderline top 10 and his resume stacks up favourably with some bigger name players.
Trade Garland for a good tall athletic wing. Herb Jones, Jeremi Grant or Cam Johnson. We are too small for the playoffs. We will not win against teams like Atlanta, Orlando, Miami and Boston. Garland is good but his size is a HHHUUUUUGE mismatch.
Maybe make a big splash, such as like Ron Harper for Danny Ferry.
I need Larry back on the squad
Don’t trade anything don’t mess up the cavaliers we have Thay just don’t want the cavaliers winning a championship thay want to break up what we have
Add Nance as a buyout candidate, not a trade. He can play point forward similar to Draymond Green…
CAM JOHNSON OR TREY MURPHY III if the price is right
Donovan Mitchell deserves way more love—he's been a game-changer for the Cavs. If a trade happens, who should they target to complement his style?
I just dont see us getting anything without giving up a substantial amount. Last year during the mid season trade, teams wanted brinks truck like deals. Asking for too much because dorks like Danny Ange thieving like an Arabian knight. Now, franchises are still getting used to the new CBA. So i say stand pat. I think Altman knows that too. If something floats out there that would actually benefit us then I'll say take it. But with how well we are jelling right now can't afford to disrupt that newfound continuity/success.
