But I also say every one of those teams I think is capable of beating the Cavs too.
So I do think they have another deal.
I don't know if it's the big deal that you might be insinuating it could be, but I do think before the trade deadline comes and goes, Lonzo Ball is probably not on the Cavs anymore.
I do think they'll have to attach a second round pick, maybe two second round picks to get off of his $10 million contract.
And then he does have a team option of $10 million for next year, which of course the team receiving him can either decline or could use that in a trade this upcoming summer.
So I think at the minimum,
That's going to be the case.
But with the way the Cavs operate, like I do believe that they're going to continue to make calls leading up until three o'clock on Thursday afternoon.
Whether or not anything comes to fruition there, I don't know.
I would have told you a week ago if you would have said, hey, the Cavs are going to trade James Harden or trade for James Harden.
They're going to send Darius Garland.
I probably wouldn't have believed you.
So if you tell me the Cavs are going to trade Evan Mobley for Giannis Antetokounmpo, do I believe that to happen?
Probably not.
But I can't rule anything out at this point, guys.
Yeah, so Utah is sending out the most favorable of their 2027 pick between Cleveland, Minnesota, and Utah, which, spoiler alert, will be the Utah Jazz, probably, most likely there.
And then the Lakers' 2027 first-round pick,
And the Phoenix Suns, 2031 first round pick.
And based on what the reports are, it seems like that's unprotected.
So an unprotected 2031 Suns pick as well.
