I just don't see how Jarrett Allen makes us better. He has zero offense.

He has zero offense. There are other defenders out there that have no offense that are cheaper, and when i say cheaper, i mean salary wise. I don't care about giving up picks to improve.
There may be better fits and ways to utilize trade assets, but I think Allen would be fine at the 5 with the Pels.

Jarrett Allen is who I hoped Jaxson turned into be. In theory, Allen is a great fit next to Zion. I'd love to see Zion with a true rim runner.
But factoring in salary, I don't think he gives you enough of an upgrade over Jonas (assuming he's the main piece you move) to make the move. He fits better and the team is probably a little better, but I feel like 20 mil a year for the next couple of years makes it a lot tougher on your decision making going forward. Maybe not though and he is playing at an all-star level right now honestly so maybe he makes you better than I think he does.

The Cavs are slightly better defensively when he's not in the lineup this year.
Last year he had a -.5 DRtg difference off the court compared to on, so bascially he made no difference to their defense.
Last year in the playoffs the Cavs were a +18.9 DRtg better with him on the bench losing 4-1 to the Knicks.
