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?

Yea that’d be an insane pivot to what’s looking like a failed attempt at contending just in time for their new arena
