Cavaliers Trade Explanation
For the Cavaliers, Suggs would be the perfect backcourt partner for Donovan Mitchell with his size (6'5"), defense and three-point shooting (39.7 percent). Mitchell played point guard for stretches last season with Garland out and thrived in the role.

Magic Trade Explanation
Darius Garland is the perfect solution, a 24-year-old who can grow with the franchise and has averaged 20.6 points, 7.7 assists and shot 38.9 percent from three over the past three seasons. A starting five of Garland, Caldwell-Pope, Franz Wagner, Banchero and Jonathan Isaac with Anthony Black, Moritz Wagner, Gary Harris, Jett Howard, Tristan da Silva, Tyson (the Cavs' first-round pick this summer), Goga Bitadze and others would make the Magic a force in the East for the next decade.
