Why This Trade Would Benefit The Cleveland Cavaliers
It has been a strong start to the 2020-21 NBA season for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They have posted a 4-2 record through their initial six games and only the Philadelphia 76ers have a better record so far in the Eastern Conference. Why not make a major run at a superstar to take another step?
The level of results Collin Sexton has achieved so far has been quite intriguing to see. As expected, the same applies for James Harden. In fact, they have been the most efficient scorers in the NBA with at least 90 possessions so far. For reference, Harden has produced 1.207 points per possession (PPP) and Sexton is at 1.2 PPP.
The competitiveness that Sexton brings to the game defensively would be a welcomed complement to Harden. The Cavaliers would have two aggressive guards that can get downhill and pull-up from deep with the best of them. Cleveland’s offense would become supercharged in a sense.
Being able to land PJ Tucker would help the Cavaliers to fill their starting lineup out by fulfilling a needed role. His ‘3-and-D’ impact would tie together the unit around Sexton and Harden as well as with Cedi Osman and Andre Drummond.
