Why the Mavs do this? They need a rim protector, they've been fucked up in the paint by most of the opposing C. They can solve that problem trading for Allen, who is a solid rim protector and a great pick & roll big. Also, they re-sign THJ, some solid role players (Boban, JJ, Melli and others) and manage to sign Leonard to a $40 mil-3 years contract.

Why the Cavs do this? Collin Sexton wants out of Cleveland, the Cavs are probably drafting a young guard and move on from Sexton, the Mavs are a "potential" landing spot for him: he has the chance to play with Luka and both will take off some charge from each other. Also, they get rid of Kevin Love's huge contract and send him to a young team who lacks of a veteran (besides Kemba). They replace Love with a young Isaiah Roby.

Why the Thunder do this? The Thunder lack of veteran presence, they are "risking the future" trading Roby for Love but, let's be honest, Love it's a great player who can teach the yongers during The Process and add some shooting. Also, they have the cap space to absorbe Love's huge contract.

**Notes: Tyler Bey and the Draft Pick are subject to change

Potential starting lineups: Mavs: Luka, Sexton, Leonard, DFS, Allen Cavs: Jalen Green, Garland, Osman/Richardson, Roby, Porzingis Thunder: Walker, SGA, Deck*, Love, Bradley

What do you think about this trade?

Edit: The Mavs give a 2022 2nd round pick or a 2025 1st round pick for Sexton
