Cavs are in 4th place and could enter win now mode. Buddy gives them great floor spacing. Barnes gives some versatile depth in front court with both Lauri and Mobley missing games from time to time. They get off the love contract and don’t have to pay sexton the big money. Both of these new contracts will expire before giving Mobley his big pay day.

Sacramento only does this if they decide to tank I think. Sexton doesn’t help them win this year since he’s out injured. If they tank they will have tons of trade assets and flexibility for next season. -Love’s expiring contract -Fox -Haliburton -Mitchell -Sexton -Bagley -Thier own lottery pick

Good starting position to rebuild where they could trade Fox for Ben Simmons cause they would still have 3 other good guards in Mitchell, Sexton, and Haliburton.
