In a Giannis trade, could Charlotte acquire Mobley? 👀


SUCCESS

I want to make it clear that, as a Cavs fan, I would hate this, as I don't think Cleveland should be trying to get Giannis.

In a hypothetical scenario where Cleveland considered trading Mobley for Giannis, but Bucks preferred to have a handful of first-round draft picks, would Charlotte fans consider breaking the bank to acquire Mobley?

Again, this is just a thought and I would be the first in line to oppose this trade, but is there at least a 1% chance that such a scenario could arise?

To give Cleveland's proposal some realism, their starting lineup would be as follows:

  • PG: Darius Garland

  • SG: Donovan Mitchell

  • SF: Jaylon Tyson

  • PF: Giannis Antetokounmpo

  • C: Jalen Smith

  • 6th Man: Ayo Dosunmu

CHARLOTTE:

  • PG: Kon Knueppel

  • SG: Brandon Miller

  • SF: Miles Bridges

  • PF: Evan Mobley

  • C: Ryan Kalkbrenner / Moussa Diabaté

  • 6th Man: Collin Sexton

MILWAUKEE:

  • PG: LaMelo Ball

  • SG: Ryan Rollins

  • SF: Kyle Kuzma

  • PF: Bobby Portis Jr.

  • C: Jarrett Allen

  • 6th Man: Myles Turner

The only credible aspect I can give to the proposal is the acquisition of a center who fits with Giannis, while Ayo Dosunmu can balance the backcourt in terms of average defensive level.

From Hornets' perspective, Mobley would be a perfect fit (and for many other franchises as well), I don't think I have much to say about how he would help (especially defensively) the team in general.

I have nothing more to add; with this post I simply want to encourage reflection and explore whether a team has ever thought, "Wait, if Cleveland did that, would there be any chance of getting Mobley?"

I would hate for that to happen, but anyway, what do you guys think?
