Cleveland Cavaliers

One of the biggest sleepers in the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers not only have the assets to swing for Kevin Durant — but they have a perfect spot for him in the rotation.

Let’s make it clear, there is no chance the Cavs give up Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley or Darius Garland at this point. All under 25 and showcasing immense potential, Cleveland has a big three to rave about for the future.

Missing in their rotation is a true wing who can score the ball and defend the perimeter. Sound like someone you know?

Durant fits beautifully in this rotation and puts a young team well over the top.

Most importantly, Cleveland has a worthy package. Collin Sexton, Isaac Okoro, Dylan Windler (possibly Kevin Love for financial reasons) and picks could arguably match any other offer in the league.

The only roadblock is Brooklyn will probably want Garland, Allen or Mobley included. If this obstacle is avoided, however, Cleveland becomes an instant threat to the throne.
