Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

I like that Sexton contract. He's definitely an asset on that deal. He can be kept as a starter or a 6th man down the road depending on his development and who they add thru the draft/ trades. Lauri is on a similar type deal only a year shorter.

FWIW I read a headline in the Athletic, the article is blocked by a paywall, but it basically said the Cavs have 3 years to change his mind about staying in Cleveland long term. Very interesting considering the Jazz basically control the Cavs draft for the rest of this decade.

Once LeBron resigned with the Lakers they realized they had to make a big splash

I don't think Mitchell leaving in a couple of years really impacts our picks that much. I think Mitchell will affect their ceiling, but their floor will be tied to Mobley. If Mobely is healthy, I think they continue to be a playoff team.

He might turn increasingly into the conniving little **** we witnessed the last two years which would probably have a bigger impact.

But yes, the ceiling/floor descriptions are apt. As an extension of that, I’m not convinced that Mitchell actually wins you a ton of games which is another reason the clock was ticking on getting him the hell out of here; if it’s seen he’s actually just a glorified chucker then his value drops significantly IMO.

I think Mobley and Garland both have to be healthy but agree overall. Having all three would make it pretty hard to be terrible... he won't be there is 3 years though.

The odds on Garland and Mobley both being on the team in 2027-2029 has to be fairly low. It sounds great in theory though.

Even without that he is going to demand the ball more, taking it out of Mobley's hands, which may stifle his progress. There was lots of talk before the trade about the Cavs changing the offense to run through Evan. I don't see that happening now.

The Cavs feel like they still are too young to make the jump. They are at least 2 seasons away. I think Mitchell's fit will actually hurt their progress.

Garland already locked up for what would feed into the 25/27 draft... might have asked out by then but who knows... and that is the point... a lot can happen.

I think Cavs end up moving Don next summer for Barrett and a couple picks... or to Miami for Herro and stuff.

That’s what I’m saying he could easily ask out by then or they decide to recoup some picks when they are a middling team in the East.
 
A few years ago I don’t think a single person predicted we’d be in the spot we are now and that is exactly why anything can happen.
