Jarrett Allen is Charmin Ultra Soft and he proved it again this playoff series against Boston. Reports have come out that his teammates are frustrated that he refused treatment for his bruised ribs that could have had him on the court helping his team. As far as I’m concerned, the dude should be gone this offseason. New Orleans seems like the perfect trade partner. They have CJ at the point and it isn’t quite working and BI at the 3 which also doesn’t quite work. On Cleveland’s end of things, they need Allen out of that locker room and DG has never really fit along side Mitchell.

For Cleveland, they would move Mitchell to the point, play CJ at the 2, Strus at the 3, BI at the 4, and Mobley at the 5. They can use their two 2024 1sts to address depth at the big man position. A bonus for Cleveland with this trade is of LeBron comes back on the MLE (if they draft Bronny) he can play the 4, BI can play the 3 and Strus can come off the bench.

On New Orleans end of things, they’re getting a top 10 big man in Jarrett, a very talented PG in DG and they’re disposing of two bad contracts in BI and CJ. The picks are there to sweeten the deal for Cleveland. Feel free to debate the amount of picks NO needs to give in the comments below, I felt like 3 was fair, you may feel they should give more or less.

As far as their roster is concerned, NO would have DG, Trey, Herb, Zion and Jarrett. This should make them a major player out west. Zion will finally have some quality help from DG and Allen. DG can get him the ball and Allen (as soft as he is) is extremely efficient and a beast on the glass.
