This Jarrett Allen trade idea would help Cleveland Cavaliers tremendously
- CBS Sports proposed a trade sending Jarrett Allen and a 2032 first-round pick to New Orleans for Herb Jones and Jordan Hawkins.
- The Cavaliers could move Mobley to center, using Jones for perimeter defense and shooting around a different lineup.
- The deal would save money for Cleveland, as Allen’s contract runs into the next few years while Jones has a different long-term outlook.
- The fixture would give the Pelicans a rim-protector pairing with Derik Queen, addressing a defensive need.
- The trade could enable a more versatile Cavaliers lineup with Jones and Mobley providing defense and shooting.
- Cleveland would face the challenge of parting with a high-value future first-round pick.
- The Cavaliers are currently in action against the Philadelphia 76ers with tip-off at 7:00 p.m. ET.
- The trade idea was reported by Jeremy Brener, editor and writer for On SI sites.
- Cavs’ potential move would balance payroll while aiming to maintain defensive strength.
