Trade Breakdown:
Cavs: J. Richardson
The Cavs need a sharp-shooting defensive minded wing to complement Garland and Mitchell in the backcourt. Richardson gives them someone who can guard the opposing team’s best perimeter player and take advantage of open corner 3s on offense.
Starters: Garland, Mitchell, Richardson, Mobley, Allen
Bench: Rubio (Neto), LeVert, Okoro, Love, Lopez
Spurs: C. Osman, D. Windler, 2025 SRP (from CLE; via MIL), 2026 SRP (from CLE; via LAL)
The Spurs get good value out of a quality veteran player on an expiring contract.
