PG13 for Evan Mobley, straight swap. Who comes out on top? (alien.top)

Cleveland finally fill that 3 role they have been deeply missing with Caris and Okoro never making the jump. They also unclog the paint and allow JA to play a classic 5, while providing a luxury scoring option that unleashes DG's playmaking. One of Okoro and Caris gets traded for a decent PF like Toppin.

Clippers don't have to deal with 4 'systems' anymore and also get an extremely valuable young piece they can slot in at C for easy P&R with Harden or Russ. Zubac can come off the bench or be traded for young wings while leaving Plumlee as a backup C.

The trade has upside and downside for both teams (Clips lose one of their most beloved players, Cavs lose a young perennial DPOY candidate), but who would eventually come out on top?

I’d do this if I were the clips.

Not a chance in hell lol PG was 3rd in MVP voting a few years back and Mobley hasn’t even been an all star

a few years back? Wasn't that five seasons ago lol

Harden was averaging 36, Andre Drummond was playing enough to average 15 rebounds and people were arguing Luka vs Trae Young. That was an eternity ago in NBA years.

4, which falls under “a few” for me. One = 1, two = 2 or a couple, 3 or 4 = a few and anything beyond is a different timeline lol
