The comment section for the survey prompt was pretty contentious. It isn\u2019t surprising that the survey results were split pretty evenly, with the majority just barely deciding that they would trade Mobley for Giannis.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to see why the vote was so split.<\/p>\n
Even though Antetokounmpo is the better player, there are real concerns about trading for him. For starters, he\u2019s going to be 32 next postseason and has had issues with finishing seasons the last few years due to health. Additionally, there\u2019s uncertainty about his contract with next season effectively being the final year of his deal. And, there\u2019s no guarantee Giannis\u2019s game would fit perfectly alongside Donovan Mitchell and James Harden.<\/p>\n
However, it\u2019s also tough to pass up on someone who is still playing at an MVP-caliber level when he is on the court. Even if you\u2019re a strong believer in Mobley\u2019s upside, it\u2019s unlikely that he ever reaches Antetokounmpo\u2019s current skill level.<\/p>\n
Whether or not the Cavs entertain this possibility will likely depend on how the postseason goes. If they flame out early in the playoffs again, it\u2019s easy to envision a scenario in which they aggressively look to upgrade this current group. After all, they did just trade Darius Garland for a 36-year old. Conversely, if things go well in the playoffs, you can easily see them trying to run things back with this core.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The comment section for the survey prompt was pretty contentious.
