The Cavaliers can make a trade, but whatever they do, they shouldn’t break up the Core 4.
Stick with this roster. Their chemistry is already excellent.
I am really going to need for someone to explain this trade mentality for the Cavs, I don't get it, the Cavs thankfully enough have not listened, because you guys have wanted all of these dudes traded at least once.
With how the Cavs play offense and defense, please explain to me how any of the trade options help this team and remember to take into account, what this team loses with what you had to trade to get them?
I will let you knnow I am coming from the mindset that most of the smoke is coming from fans who just know names and make judgements off of that, so some quantifiable evidence or math is going to be required.
Simple english
I think there is a group of fans, who make trade thoughts off of NBA2k metrics, that number ratings are what make the player a good fit. So, I need you to explain it without using your feelings, but things that would have been seen if watching the games for the last couple of years.
Go Cavs, no trades!
Cavs need find 2 backup bigs role players spell Allen and Mobley can’t go in playoffs against Knicks centers with Towns and Robinson let alone Orlando

We don't have measuring stick games at the halfway point of the season.
The guys who the Cavs might consider trading are down at the end of the bench. Porter & Merrill are not going to be effective in the playoffs, so if you can do something with them, fine. Not likely, tho. Thompson, only if you can bring in a big who's an upgrade. TT is too important in the locker room & if we see a game where a bully is needed we've only got him & Niang.
Ditch the BetterHelp sponsorship bro, they are whack as hell. If you need therapy DO NOT use their service. Seek out another avenue PLEASE.
Cavs know that they can't keep Sam/Ty and Levert. They are all UFA's…Someone is going to be traded/moved!
The next 2 years are HUGE for the Cavs to win the Chip! It is the absolute prime/ceiling years for Mitchell. If not, not sure Cabs will want to pay him 65+ a year when he is on the wrong side of 30! Hope Cabs make a trade to win that Chip while Mitchell is here in his prime!
CAVS!!!!! not Cabs!!!!
