Of course, due to the same circumstances that inform NBA contracts, sometimes trades can get complicated. 

Often, a deal isn’t as it seems. It may be that a number of players are changing hands, but in essence, it’s a one-for-one swap. 

For example, the Utah Jazz traded Rudy Gobert this summer in exchange for Patrick Beverley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, Leandro Bolmaro, Walker Kessler, and four unprotected first-round picks.

They weren’t interested in all of those players if any – they wanted the picks. Trading Gobert without receiving salary in exchange was simply impossible.

This deal would function similarly. In essence, this is an Allen-for-Jones swap. That’s not a knock on either Graham or Nance Jr. We’re only saying that Jones is the player the Cavaliers would be most interested in receiving. 

Is he really worth the cost of Allen for this organization?
