Cleveland needs veteran help and a bench scorer, also need to think about financial future with Garland’s extension, Sextons contract, and Levert’s contract. With acquiring THJ’s descending contract, they save a little money every year.

With DAL it’s obvious, they get their rim protector. But since they have the trade exception they can ease a little more of Cleveland’s cap by taking on Osman.

If they need to add a future 1st to get it done, they can do that too.
