Cavaliers acquire: SF Wannah Bail
Grizzlies acquire: SG James Blackmon Jr.

You may be asking yourself...Magoo! Why in god's name are you trading your 3rd highest scorer for a player who has not been a regular starter? Well, if you give me a chance to explain I will!

When I took over the Cavaliers, the team was a mess. John Wall's massive contract was crippling this franchise, some players had not developed the way they were supposed to...what did I do about it? I flipped Wall for Kyle Wiltjer, and now I'm doing the same thing here: Flipping a long term deal that just hasn't worked out for me to acquire a guy who will be off the books in two seasons. I will not have my pick this year, so I have to look at being able to fully rebuild this team in 2025, when I'll have both mine and Indiana's first round picks and can start building through the draft again. To fully realize this strategy, I must also get out of salary cap hell. This speeds up what originally looked like a 4 season rebuilding plan, to what would be a 2 season rebuilding plan.

I feel this speeds up the time to where the Cavaliers can become a competitive team in the East again, and starts the framework to what will be a solid long-term foundation.
