re: I'm not sure how this team improves via trade

If this was a team that didn't have CJ, then sure, make a big move and sacrifice your key young talent and go for a win now move. This current roster doesn't get THAT much better with Lauri on it.
Think about what Boston just did.
They have Tatum and Brown (Zion and BI), went get Porzingis and Jrue, and also still have Derrick White.
Granted Jrue is averaging the least amount of points he ever has, but yes someone has to sacrifice some points.
That's two guys they added that have average 19ppg for quite some time.
I think Mobley is the much better fit than Lauri, as he'd be better averaging 15ppg and begin the defensive anchor for us, and the more you look at it, the Cavs might be better off with Trey/Allen than Mobley/Allen.

The Cavs are building everything around Mobley, more than Mitchell or Garland. He is their future and they are not trading him. Period.

Boston went to the finals. They may be one or two role players away. Pels have done nothing in two years.

Jrue gave them something they didn't have. Perimeter defense. Porzingas gave them shooting in the frontcourt where they had injuries and age (Williams/Harford). Porzingas has to get healthy.
Also, Boston is willing to go into tax. Are the Pels?
I'm not sure Lauri does much for this team as currently built. He's a good player, but you are restructuring the way you play if you get him.
Lastly, you don't get someone good unless you come off of your good players. If you want Mobley or Lauri, you are giving Herb, Zion, Trey, or someone else. You have to see the payoff or choose to build around your "untouchables".
