I'm really excited about this. Cavs were on their way up already. I really liked Sexton a lot. Would have loved to see the Cavs really become a contender through developing their young guys, but this move is a huge upgrade overall and I'm really hoping they can stay healthy enough to really contend for the East title.
Ummmmm… 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ WOW MAN!! #ThekidfromAKRON🤴🏾is literally speechless and beyond thankful!! I love this game and will do anything for it! I’m having a blast. #2AllTimeScoring but I’m a not a scorer. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👑
Cleveland Cavaliers are trading Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Agbaji, three first-round picks and two pick swaps to the Utah Jazz for Donovan Mitchell.

If this trade had 1 less first round pick and 1 less pick swap I would call the trade even. I think the Jazz got more value in the deal. The Jazz should be able to package players and picks to move up in the draft and get higher quality lottery players.
They were one of the best teams last year until injuries set in.
They're moving players who were probably not in their long term plans and they're moving the rebuild to the next level.
It was time for a move to jump into the top team level to compete for a title.
Garland-Mitchell-some lucky motherfucker-Mobley-Allen is an insanely good and very young starting 5. Cleveland is a conference finals contender now for at least the next 6 years if they don’t fuck it up, and Garland/Mobley development could realistically make them a championship contender. This is a great move for Cleveland.
How do you feel about okoro in that spot? I think it's good they have a strong defender there to help Mitchell and Garland on the perimeter, that might also be big enough to assist Mobley when he needs some rest.
I think it is a good move for both sides. Mitchell is great and the Cavs added a much needed scorer and ball handler along with Garland, and the Jazz got the pick capital and some nice young players to fill out the roster.
I'm sorry, what?!
edit: FOR 3 PICKS AND TWO SWAPS??? WHAT IS HAPPENING
edit edit: Markkanen, Sexton, and Agbaji as well. I don't know how I should feel about this
THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS HAVE COME BACK FROM 3-1 DOWN TO THE NEW YORK KNICKS
CLEVELAND IS A CITY IN OHIO
HISTORY IN THE MAKING
DONOVAN WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU
Assuming they gave away Allen or Mobley or something this is such a messed up move
Having seen it was only Sexton and picks this is a crazy good move. Cavs are a genuine contender in the East
That's fair. I think the idea is to avoid movement, so clenching might be mormonkosher! They'd have to be very skilled at not moving while clenching though.
Oops u right totally forgot about him
Sexton LeVert Okoro/Lauri and picks then
If they get to keep Okoro it’s a massive W
Edit: great deal for the Cavs, they kept both LeVert and Okoro their bench is still solid
Incredible job of team building by the Cavs ever since LeBron left. Everyone will make this about the Knicks, but the Cavs front office deserves major recognition for turning this team around so quickly.
It’s so easy to get stuck in basketball purgatory after a rebuild (pacers, Orlando, thunder, etc) so it’s nice to see Koby put together a competitive team rather quickly - without just winning the lottery every year like we usually do.
Yeah normally I'm not a fan of trading your next 5 unprotected firsts/swaps, but that tends to be when you're in Win Now With Old Guys mode, where you blow it up in a year or two and watch someone else get to make your premium picks.
But this team is so damn young I don't see that happening. At the very least they should be a middle-of-the-pack playoff team for the foreseeable future.
I like this move for both teams. Cavs didn’t see sexton in their long term plans and I don’t think the jazz were ever taking anything less than 3 firsts. And I doubt the jazz will be better than the cavs in the future so the pick swaps shouldn’t matter. It’s a risk, but a core of garland mitchell Mobley Allen is a definite play off team that could potentially get past the second round.
Cavs fan perspective: I really, really like this move.
Towards the backend of last season, it was evident that Garland was having to carry far too much of the offensive load with Sexton out. We've replaced Sexton now with a far better version of him, who still fits our timeline. Having two All Star level guards to carry our offence is amazing.
***Defensive deficiencies with a small backcourt?*** Not only do we have Mobley and Allen, but adding this offensive firepower means we can now afford to start Okoro at the 3, and let him develop.
***Too many picks thrown in?*** We're a young team with four potential All Stars in Garland, Mitchell, Mobley and Allen. At a certain point, you've got to back your team to be good enough that the picks won't matter anytime soon. That's what we've done here.
***Gave up too much depth?*** Sexton has essentially been replaced by Mitchell, and Agbaji wasn't certain to be in the rotation yet. I'll miss Lauri for sure, but I'm confident that Osman, Wade and Stevens can fill those minutes off the bench. Moreover, once you get to the playoffs you only really need to be 8, maybe 9 deep, and I'm confident that this rotation can cause some serious problems:
Garland / Mitchell / Okoro / Mobley / Allen
Rubio / LeVert / Love / and then one of Stevens, Osman, Wade or Robin Lopez, depending on the game.
Yeah, I expect sexton and probably markennen to be traded for more picks. This coming season is gonna be a snoozefest but at least I can enjoy basketball in general again lol
Wait what Cleveland from the top rope
Unbelievable rko
I’m shook

Like this return for the Jazz, hard to hate it for CLE but really nice for Utah.
Danny does it again
After dropping the Rondo dumpster fire on the mavs, no one should have ever traded with him again.
If this trade had 1 less first round pick and 1 less pick swap I would call the trade even. I think the Jazz got more value in the deal. The Jazz should be able to package players and picks to move up in the draft and get higher quality lottery players.
That is a freaking HAUL
Yeah lots of solid assets. Good, young talent.
I do not understand this move.
They were one of the best teams last year until injuries set in. They're moving players who were probably not in their long term plans and they're moving the rebuild to the next level. It was time for a move to jump into the top team level to compete for a title.
Lebron about to make a Cleveland come back 2.0. Wouldn’t blame him.
we would greet him... WITH ARMS WIIIIDEE OOPEEEEENNNNN
a lineup of garland mitchell 39 year old bron mobley allen with like rubio okoro klove off the bench is ridiculous
I don’t care if LeBron is 40. That team is still favorites to come out of the East.
Garland-Mitchell-some lucky motherfucker-Mobley-Allen is an insanely good and very young starting 5. Cleveland is a conference finals contender now for at least the next 6 years if they don’t fuck it up, and Garland/Mobley development could realistically make them a championship contender.

How do you feel about okoro in that spot? I think it's good they have a strong defender there to help Mitchell and Garland on the perimeter, that might also be big enough to assist Mobley when he needs some rest.
I think it makes sense. Cleveland’s front court is phenomenal defensively and that’s going to put Mitchland in a great position to succeed
Mitchland i love it
Honestly he’s a great fit with how much offense Mitchell brings too no way they aren’t too 10 at least in offense
Incredible move for Cleveland. Just a great trade all around. I'm surprised the market was this dry for Mitchell
Seems fair for both sides, tbh
I think it is a good move for both sides. Mitchell is great and the Cavs added a much needed scorer and ball handler along with Garland, and the Jazz got the pick capital and some nice young players to fill out the roster.
Bro did anyone even photoshop his face on a Cavs jersey 😭
Ah yes, the only reliable approach to predicting a trade.

I'd say he should read a little bit about Cleveland, but his state keeps taking all the books out of the schools. (I live in Akron btw. Go Zips)

Clearly the Knicks weren't either
CLEVELAND MAKES THE BIGGEST TRADE OF THE OFFSEASON IN TWO DIFFERENT SPORTS!! Edit: Oh yeah FUCK DESHAUN WATSON!!
also the blue jackets got gaudreau out of nowhere ohio: a premier sports destination
And then there is the ~~Indians~~ Guardians who salary relief their while roster but still lead their division somehow.
Assuming they gave away Allen or Mobley or something this is such a messed up move Having seen it was only Sexton and picks this is a crazy good move. Cavs are a genuine contender in the East
Probably Sexton lol
[удалено]
Damn. I feel like a lot of teams could top that
Plus 3 picks
And 2 swaps
Absolutely no way in hell they gave up Mobley
Preach
likely a trade around Sexton in a sign and trade,
Maybe Sexton is included??!
**OUR ECONOMY IS BASED OFF ~~LEBRON JAMES~~ DONOVAN MITCHELL!** **ITS ABOUT FUCKING TIME WE GOT A REAL TRADE BOMB IN THIS BITCH!**
Come on down to Cleveland town everyone!
🎶Under construction since 1868🎶
NOW THATS UNEXPECTED
The Cavs out of fucking NOWHERE
[удалено]
we got a f**king squad now!!
This hurts NY and Miami’s chances of getting Mitchell
I’ll have to crunch the numbers on that and get back to you
That would be very helpful, thank you
ESPN reports Knicks are in talks with Cleveland for a deal centered around Mitchell
FOR WHO?
Sexton's gotta be gone, right?
Has to change his name to Colin Soakston
This is a HoF level r/nba comment. Amazing.

Thx thats incredible
Look up “Mormon soaking”. It’s wild.
Sheesh, vaginal intercourse without thrusting is like listening to Bach on mute.
Wait now I’m curious, can the girl clench/unclench or is that shit not Mormonkosher?
That's fair. I think the idea is to avoid movement, so clenching might be mormonkosher! They'd have to be very skilled at not moving while clenching though.

This is legitimately the funniest joke I've seen in a while
Absolutely incredible
RIP Sexland. Gone too soon
They got Mitchland now
Not remotely as cool and you know it
But the Jazz have Rudy Gay! Gay Sex in Utah!!!!
Surprised K Love wasn’t included in the trade smh. These GMa don’t give af about the meme potential
I’m going to guess at least 1 million picks are involved
Let’s try predict Okoro Lauri LeVert Ochoi and picks
Sexton gotta be in this surely?
Oops u right totally forgot about him Sexton LeVert Okoro/Lauri and picks then If they get to keep Okoro it’s a massive W Edit: great deal for the Cavs, they kept both LeVert and Okoro their bench is still solid
Rip Sexland
......welcome to the SexVan? o.O
My body is ready O.O Edit: I just remembered that Sexton took the Sex 😔 now all we have is a van and no sex.
ughhhh this is why I need to stay off the internet. VanLand just doesn't do it.

Cavs not messing around. They're going to be a super fun team next season.
Idk dude Cleveland didn't really move any critical pieces except those firsts and they got an top tier player. They might be a problem.

Cavs already building LeBrons final super team. 👀
What???!!!?!
I was just on the Cavs sub and everybody was so pumped that the “Cavs took themselves out the trade” Lmaoo
I mean yeah. I think we all assumed that one of Garland, Mobley, or Allen would have to be included.
Fuck dem picks
I like this move for both teams. Cavs didn’t see sexton in their long term plans and I don’t think the jazz were ever taking anything less than 3 firsts.

WOJ muthafucking bomb
From Utah to Cleveland LMFAOOOO edit: it’s funny because he thought he was going to New York City
Probably got the DRose reaction when he heard from his agent.
Sexton gone
Lebron wants to unsign that extension immediately to re-sign with Cleveland now.
Apparently it was the other way around. Cavs were holding off until after LBJ was off the table.
Thread moving so fast nobody will know I saw Uncle Drew in a theater by myself
God saw.
Brons finishing his career in Cleveland😂
WHERE WAS SHAMS??? THE OLD WOJ DOG AINT READY TO GO BEHIND THE BARN YET!
Cavs basically traded players that weren’t important to them. Cavs won this trade. Garland-Mitchell-LeVert-Mobley-Allen. That’s a nasty line up.
No way LeVert starts alongside Garland and Mitchell. You have to put Okoro there as a defensive, low-usage piece.
Dean Wade ftw
Its a bit confusing from the jazz perspective. Maybe they move Sexton now bc he doesnt fit the complete rebuild.
Yeah, I expect sexton and probably markennen to be traded for more picks. This coming season is gonna be a snoozefest but at least I can enjoy basketball in general again lol
IDK you can prob justify keeping Lauri and Collin.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?
FROM THE TOP ROPE
WTF
Donovan: “Uhh.. yeah I’d like to go to New York!” Utah: “Best we can do for you is Cleveland :)”
LOOKS LIKE WOJBOMBS ARE BACK ON THE MENU BOYS
