Cleveland Cavaliers
Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Jarrett Allen, G Collin Sexton, G/F Isaac Okoro, 2025 First-Round Pick (CLE), 2027 First-Round Pick (CLE), 2028 First-Round Pick (Swap – CLE), 2029 First-Round Pick (CLE)
Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: F Kevin Durant
As with several teams, there are obstacles in a Durant-to-Cleveland trade.
Darius Garland is off the table for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He just signed a max rookie extension, and the CBA won’t allow a team with a player on a similar deal to trade for another. Even if the Cavs wanted to move him for Durant, Simmons’ presence on the Nets won’t allow them to.
Evan Mobley ought to be as well. The recent number three pick has franchise-altering potential. He’s simply too critical to Cleveland’s long-term plan to deal for a 33-year-old.
That leaves the Nets reuniting with Jarrett Allen. The big man has certainly come a long way since his last tenure with the team, being named an All-Star with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time in 2021-22.

Meanwhile, Sexton finds his way to Brooklyn by sign-and-trade here. At 23, he’s definitely got the potential to be one of the league’s best scorers someday.
This one might be a long shot, but given their limitations, it’s the best package the Cleveland Cavaliers can offer.
