Trade Breakdown
CLE: Tim Hardaway Jr, Reggie Bullock, & JaVale McGee
DAL: Issac Okoro, Lamar Stevens, Kevin Love, & 2026 LAL 2nd
——————————————————
Why Cleveland Does This?
1) Land two wings in Tim Hardaway Jr & Reggie Bullock who can provide needed outside shooting.
2) Acquire more big man depth in JaVale McGee, who already had a decent run in Cleveland.
3) Put themselves in much better position for a deep playoff run.
Next Moves To Make
• Send Dylan Windler, Robin Lopez, & 2027 DEN 2nd To The Knicks For Cam Reddish
• Sign Kent Bazemore & Jeremy Lamb
Cavaliers Ideal Starting Lineup:
Garland, Mitchell, Hardaway Jr, Mobley, & Allen

——————————————————
Why Dallas Does This?
1) Get younger with the additions of Issac Okoro & Lamar Stevens.
2) Gain a very large expiring contract in Kevin Love who can help them in the meantime & be resigned for cheap.
3) Create around $21-22M of cap space in the upcoming offseason for a potential big free agent signing.
