re: I have a hard time believing Griffin will do what needs to be done.

Without Zion this season I think we are in Houston/Utah territory.

That being said, BI has not elevated this team like Zion has, and we have a GAPING hole at the 5 spot that needs to be filled with an elite player, so I have to agree BI has to go for the betterment of the team.

My proposal to go with BI/Mobley swap would be simple and also taking a shot on an expiring deal that could be a homerun.

Cavs: Cam Johnson, BI, multiple picks from Nets
Nets: Mitchell, Strus, Nance
Pels: Mobley, Simmons

Simmons going into a contract year could be a home run hit for us as he may finally decide to actually play, if not then we have a HUGE expiring salary with no connections to flip at the deadline with all of our picks added.

We also wouldn’t have to add a pick to BI/Mobley swap since we would be the one taking the Simmons contract. Nets have also already said they are going all in for a star that wants to be in New York
