With Mobley, we need a much longer term view in any trade that is of a more significant cost.
Plugging roster holes in the short term isn’t as appealing anymore because, generally speaking, only 1 guy matters and that guy is 20 years old.
We don’t want to expend quality assets for guys that just fill holes. We have to view more consequential acquisitions as long term fits.
It is ok to sprinkle in vets like Rubio, who don’t cost much other than salary. That isn’t what I’m speaking about here……we shouldn’t actively try to be bad but we also shouldn’t cash in our best young assets for severely limited or crap shoot players.
The Cavs strategy should involve vet acquisitions that compliment Mobley or cheaply fill a roster holes. If trading Collin, Darius or a pick, it absolutely has to be for a player who is a distressed star (that can rebound) or someone we believe can be one in the very near future. It shouldn’t be for similar players who have obvious limitations.
