Cavs
With rumours around the Cavs making some sort of move, this move gives them a couple needed changes. Jusuf Nurkic, despite not being as good of a defensive big as Jarrett Allen, can offer a lot as a big for Cleveland. He can space the floor, and with Mobley’s help defence, he can form a really strong front court with him. Additionally, the Cavs get the perfect 3&D wing in Royce O’neale.
Blazers
The Blazers get their defensive big!! A perfect system for Jarrett Allen to flourish in. Additionally, they get DFS as another 3&D role player. Plus, they get a valuable 1st rounder which can be used immediately to strengthen or it can be stashed if Portland go to rebuild.
Nets
Brooklyn get a player with superstar potential for minimal cost. Ant Simons enters a system with great defensive players, and a need for an out-and-out scorer. With Dinwiddie being a great facilitator, Bridges being a 2-way absolute star, Cam Johnson being a great 3&D guy and Claxton being the perfect defensive anchor, Ant Simons would perfectly round their starting unit. I think Simons could really become 25ppg scorer at Brooklyn and he could make the Nets such a fun team.
I like this trade a lot but none of the moves I’ve seen so far this offseason make that much sense I’m counting it as an impossible trade🤣
