Cleveland needs to move off of Allen and DG this offseason and the Magic need a better big man, more playmaking and more shooting. This trade solves both issues for both teams.

There are a ton of reports coming out of Cleveland at the moment. To start, as all Cavs fans already know, Mitchell is happy here. He never wanted to leave. The media wanted him in a big market. His latest quote proves it “I am happy in Cleveland, I have been happy since the day I arrived.” Two other reports have come out. One states that Cavaliers teammates are extremely unhappy with Jarrett Allen refusing treatment for his bruised ribs that would have allowed him to come back and play game 3. Another states that DG will request a trade if/when Donovan signs an extension (this makes sense as DG always plays better without Spida on the floor). With all of that in mind, Cleveland is likely to move both DG and Allen this offseason.

Similar reports have come out of Orlando regarding Franz. After losing games 6 and 7 it’s been reported that he’s a “bad fit” along side Paolo and that the Magic may explore trading him for more shooting, playmaking or a more reliable big man.

This trade seems to solve the issues for both teams. Cleveland moves DG sand Allen (they also throw in Merrill for more shooting) and in return they get the Wagner brothers and a new PF in Isaac (who hasn’t been the most reliable for them). I think this is a win/win, but what do I know. Lmk what you all think in the comments below!
