Here Detroit adds two high level wing/forward defenders who aren’t negative shooters. Detroit could roll out closing lineups with Cade, Ausar, Jones, Hunter, and Stew and wouldn’t give up a single point. Detroit also doesn’t lose a lot of valuable assets in this move. Could they do these and pair it with a Tobias and Holland plus a 1st for MPJ to add a true #2 scorer? That would completely reshape this roster and put Detroit clearly in the drivers seat for the Eastern Conference.
Cavs do this to shed some salary and pick up a future 2nd for a guy who clearly isn’t fitting well in Cleveland.
Pelicans add future draft capital while getting a look at Ivey next to Fears, Murphy, and Queen.
