Should the Cleveland Cavaliers Try to Trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo?
On this episode of Locked On Cavs,Danny Cunningham (The Inside Shot, 92.3 The Fan, Cleveland Magazine) explores potential trades and roster strategies for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He examines the possibility of trading Evan Mobley for Giannis Antetokounmpo, considering the financial and strategic implications. Cunningham also addresses fan inquiries about trading Darius Garland to the Orlando Magic, expressing his belief in Garland's potential and opposing such a move. The discussion shifts to Jarrett Allen's role, with Cunningham suggesting the Cavs explore trade options to allow Evan Mobley more time at center, while also considering the physical demands of full-time center play. The episode further analyzes the impact of the NBA's second apron salary cap on the Cavaliers' flexibility in trades and signings, predicting limited major changes. Cunningham concludes by comparing the trade likelihood of Garland versus Allen, identifying Allen as the more probable trade piece due to basketball reasons rather than salary cap constraints.
