Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cavs fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Last Friday, it was reported by ESPN’s Remona Shelburne that the Bucks are looking to get younger stars back in a possible Giannis Antetokounmpo trade. One of the two players the article mentioned as a target, according to sources, is Evan Mobley.
We don’t know how interested the Cavs
are in a deal like this, even though it was reported at the deadline that the Cavs were one of presumably many teams that had a conversation with the Bucks about trading for Antetokounmpo. Nothing came of it then, but we’ll see what the summer holds.
How the Cavs approach this offseason will likely depend on how the playoffs go. If the Cavs show that this core can make a deep postseason run, they’ll likely be hesitant to shake things up too drastically. However, if they flame out again in the second round or earlier, everything is on the table.
Even so, is trading for Giannis the best option?
Antetokounmpo is still one of the absolute best players in the league despite how bad Milwaukee has been this season. The hesitation lies in his availability going forward. Giannis has struggled to stay healthy this season, missed some of the Bucks’ 2023 postseason games, and was out for the entire 2024 playoffs. Those concerns are only going to get worse as he enters his age-32 season on the final year of his current deal.
So, would you trade Mobley for Giannis? Let us know in the survey, and tell us why you voted how you did in the comments.
