I think the Cavs have the opportunity to set this team up for long term success. The way I think the team should be built is 2-way players that can shoot, pass and attack the basket if need be. I feel this collection of talent does that.

Bridges: My justification for the Bridges trade is this is a better overall package than the Rockets who seem to be the team to beat. They get 3 picks vs 2 and they get a swap which will be just as bad as if they got their own back. Also Johnson's contract is better than Dillon Brooks.

Hunter: My justification for this trade is Atlanta looks headed for a rebuild and Levert's contract is cheaper and shorter than Hunter

SAS: The trade I used is one parroted by their fanbase. They seem perfectly fine with this from the commenters I have interacted with.

Jones: The reason I felt the need to write a justification article. I believe Jones is available and can be had by the Cavs due to their long term interest in JA. These teams are like puzzle pieces, they have what each other needs to fit together. The Pels want to become more offensive while keeping or improving their defensive prowess. Changing a perimeter defender to a rim protector has the opportunity to do that.

I would be on the prowl for a starting PF depends on how Hunter does. But he has the tools to deal with guys like Randle and Paolo. That's the guy I have been looking for to start in this line up. Bridges can act as a #2 scorer while Mobley gets his feet under him.
