But this was their first playoff run as a team. They appeared to be pressing throughout the series and the Knicks took advantage of it and the Cavs lost confidence. Road to success is typically filled with bumps along the way. The year for the Cavs was a huge success and they are at a stage where they are a fringe contender. Maybe with another good year and playoff run, they could be a true contender the following year. They may decide it might be best to move Allen in the future, but I just don't understand why that would be now. I would only consider it if I got a clear upgrade for him.His trade is straight up Maxi for Allen. The 27 is the cost to get off of Holmes.
You can also argue if it is best business for Dallas to use their 27 first round pick plus assets for him as well.
That is an absolute no brainer trade for us and a WTF trade for them.
