3 NBA trades suggestions for the Cleveland Cavaliers and whether they would help or not
By Chad Porto
The first trade comes from our sister site, King James Gospel. In this three-team deal, they suggest a multi-team trade that sees the Cavs sending Caris LeVert to Miami and Dyland Windler to Detroit. The Heat sending a first-round pick to the Detroit Pistons and Duncan Robinson to the Cavaliers, while the Pistons send former Cavaliers guard Alec Burks back to the squad, and include rising prospect, Saddiq Bey
The Pistons get a first-round pick and a young-ish wing to use in their rebuild, and the Heat gets an average creator with some unique skills that they don’t currently have on their roster. Neither of the other teams gets better from this trade but the Cavs sure do.
I’m not in on Burks, we’ve seen that movie before and he’s not the impact player that some fans like to hype up. Robinson has potential with a different coach but sadly he’d be punished just like Cedi Osman if he starts missing shots. Since that’s all Robinson brings to a team, if he can’ hit his shots then he won’t last long in a rotation in Cleveland.
Bey makes things interesting and he’s also why this trade dies. Bey may be a 23-year-old combo forward with solid skills but he’s an inefficient scorer with severe issues on defense that have not improved since entering the league. He’s not the future All-Star some wish he was. This is a bad trade for everyone involved.
