Cavs-Trailblazers

[Cleveland Cavaliers (Jon)]

Cavs receive:

Darius Garland- 8.92, RFA
Jerrad Vanderbilt- 3.8, 3.8, UFA
Justice Winslow- 6.95, 6.95, 6.95, 6.95, UFA
2022 1st LAL
2025 1st POR


Trailblazers receive:

Nikola Jokic- 27.18, 27.18, UFA
Andrew Wiggins- 10.61
Cavs cover 2M on Wiggins

I believe deal becomes official after we have our draft and 2025 picks are eligible to be traded, but correct me if I am wrong.

Tyler to confirm

[Blazers GM (Tyler)]

Blazers accept.

This is bittersweet man. DG, the Portland Trail Blazers would like to thank you for everything that you've done to get us back on the map in the last year. We wish you nothing but the best moving forward. Winslow can kick fucking rocks.

NIKOOOOOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Best player in the league entering his prime, we can build around that. Getting Wiggins as a depth piece is super helpful as I try to compete this season.

Overall, ya gotta risk it for the biscuit. Happy dealing Jon.

[Heat GM (Bryan)]

Approve.

Love it for blazers. Hard to hate when you get a top 3 lock for fantasy points per game leader. He gives up a ton of potential but making this trade before the lotto is another smart move. This trade is very even if the pick is too 2-3, the further it falls after tips the balances towards blazers.
Still Cavs makes this move to continue the reshaping of the roster, only issue I have is not waiting for the picks to be solidified.

[Cleveland Cavaliers (Jon)]

Thanks Tyler for making it fun. It was no secret I identified Garland as someone I wanted to have. So he did have a leg up here. Him also having a potential top 5 pick was another must have for me. So with him having both it was a matter of finding the other pieces. Im a big fan of Vanderbilt and Winslow is in there for cap reasons. Getting the extra 1st for Wiggins was nice.

I will miss Jokic and all of the absolute monster games he gave me. But this was about spreading out the wealth and trying to become a deeper team. The 3 headed monster ive tried to use the past 2 years just didnt get me anywhere. I appreciate everyone who reached out, this was just the deal I wanted to make.

[New York Knicks (jsood)]

Approve. If there could ever be a fair offer for Jokic it's this one. I think Cavs could easily make out good here with DG and potentially a top 3 pick as well as some depth pieces in Vando and Winslow. I also think that there's almost no way to lose a trade where you are getting a player like Jokic so def one of the most win-win deals I've seen in a minute.

[Milwaukee Bucks (Jacob)]

Approve. In a vacuum this is fine for Cavs, but I had assumed the purpose of dealing Middleton was to resign Wiggins. So now I'm really struggling with that move. Still, Garland and a few firsts is a solid start to a rebuild. Vando has a pretty capped ceiling imo.

Tyler wins, especially if the pick drops but I think he wins even if it's 1.

[San Antonio Spurs (Chris)]

Pass. Think blaze wins here, guys that are a lock to average 40+ and rarely miss games are just too rare, but it's a fair enough deal
