  1. Dallas Mavericks Receive: C Andre Drummond
  1. Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: C Dwight Powell, PF James Johnson, 2021 and 2022 second-round picks
  1. "The Dallas Mavericks could look at Drummond both as a win-now piece and a way to clear salary-cap space for the 2021 offseason.Dallas ranks 27th in total rebound percentage this season (48.0 percent), as it chose the quantity-over-quality approach when it comes to filling the center position. Since Kristaps Porzingis returned to the lineup in mid-January, the Mavs have been even worse (29th overall, 47.5 percent).Drummond could impose his will on the boards and would provide Luka Doncic with a reliable lob target. He also fits alongside Porzingis, whose offensive game is more perimeter-based.Getting off Powell's contract would be important as well.The 29-year-old has two years and $22.2 million remaining on his contract after this season and hasn't looked the same while returning from an Achilles injury. Dallas would clear $11.1 million in cap space next season with this trade, which it could spend on Victor Oladipo, Mike Conley, Kyle Lowry or use to re-sign Drummond if the partnership works out.For Cleveland, Johnson would be a likely buyout candidate, while Powell would become the backup to Jarrett Allen. While the Cavs would lose out on some cap space" next year, they'd collect a pair of second-round picks.
This is a Cleveland writer.  Tempted just for the DP part.  Like the Conley idea!

Interesting.  Cleveland paid a second for Drummond.  Here they get two.  You can look at that as two PLUS Powell or as the second second is compensation for taking Powell.  Powell in a backup role to Allen playing alongside either Love or Nance makes sense.

Schwartz is the agent for Powell, Drummond, Love and Osman.  It would certainly be in his best interest to get Drummond a better showcase than Cleveland.  Can this work next to KP?  Probably better than Powell is currently working.  Can you instead use the cap room?  Depends on the plan for JRich and THJ.  Might you put a more mobile PF next to Drummond in place of KP?  Yes, but you give up the rim protection that KP is supposed to be giving you.
