In the 2021 offseason, the Cavaliers renewed Allen's contract for 5 years and 100 million, selected Mobley with a tanhua sign, and signed Markkanen with 4 years and 68 million, the team suddenly had 3 interior players above 2 meters 1, and once 76 people formed the "Death Five" to end in disintegration, the Cavaliers also hoarded so many interior players, this operation was absolutely confusing at the time, but at the end of the season, the Cavaliers ranked sixth in the East with 26 wins and 18 losses, and the probability was to return to the playoffs after James left. However, after Sexton and Rubio have been reimbursed for consecutive seasons, the team needs further reinforcements to enhance their combat effectiveness.
According to Cavaliers reporter Chris Fedor, if the Nets put Harris on the shelves, the Cavaliers are very interested in getting him, the current Cavaliers guard line Garland is very good, averaging 19.7 points and 7.8 assists per game, shooting 46.7%, shooting 37% from three-point range, the team has three inside players, Harris's outside projection threat can indeed make the team's space more open, Nets fans have said that they want Harris to take Allen to exchange, In fact, at present, Aaron is almost a non-sale of the Knight, and Harris's transaction value is far less than that of Aaron.
However, this does not mean that the two teams can not complete the deal, if the Nets can get a player who increases the probability of the team winning the championship, it is also possible to send Harris away, the Cavaliers can seek a partner rocket in the middle of last season's trade with Harden, to facilitate a three-way deal, specifically the Cavaliers sent Rubio + future first-round draft picks, get Harris and Carter, the Nets sent Harris + Carter + future second-round draft picks, get Gordon, the Rockets are to send Gordon, get Rubio + first-round draft picks + second-round draft picks.
The Cavaliers side gets the favorite Harris, Carter can also make up for the personnel gap in the backcourt, because Rubio season reimbursement, the Cavaliers can be said to be a lossless upgrade, the strength will be higher, if the run-in goes well, they can even impact the upper half of the East and go further in the playoffs.
The Nets got Gordon hit an average of 2.4 three-pointers per game this season, ranking second in the league with a shooting rate of 45.6%, no worse than Harris, and the most important thing is that Gordon's defensive ability and ball-holding ability are completely incomparable to Harris, and he is a big heart player who has proven himself in the playoffs, and the Nets also took this opportunity to get rid of Carter's 4 million contract next year, while freeing up a place that can be used to turn Edwards.
The Rockets got rubio's contract for the last year of this year, the offseason directly freed up salary space will not affect the team's follow-up operations, the most important thing is that the Rockets got the draft picks they need the most, and it is worth it to exchange Gordon for 2 draft picks without eating the garbage contract.
If this three-way deal is reached, it is definitely a situation where all three parties will benefit, the nets will compete for the championship, the Cavaliers will consolidate their playoff status, and the Rockets will get more rebuilding chips.
