Dallas Mavericks Receive: Andre Drummond
Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: Dwight Powell, James Johnson, 2021 2nd Round Pick
Andre Drummond is one of the big men in the NBA who have stayed true to his craft. He is the best rebounder in the game and can dominate in the post. This would give Dallas a new dynamic on both ends of the floor.
Drummond is in the final year of his contract, which means the Mavericks have some leverage in the deal. Especially when considering the Cavaliers now have Jarrett Allen in the mix after the James Harden trade.
This means the Mavericks would not have to give up a ton in this trade. Dwight Powell is a player who would help Cleveland during their rebuilding process. James Johnson and a second-round pick in 2021 would also be sent to the Cavaliers.
Let’s take a closer look and see how the teams would benefit from this deal as soon as it is made.
