Why does CLE do it? Well this gives them yet another wing and 3pt shooter that they need AND a flexible switch defender that pairs well with Mobley. The FRP doesn't hurt either.
If this trade is in any way remotely possible, then by all means, the Mavs should do it.
But..
The FRP + Maxi would be the main assets going out from the Mavs.
THJ looks like a huge salary filler that the Cavs "have-to" take in.
This equation is already leaning towards the Mavs.
This trade doesn't work still so Okoro is brought in to this.
But adding Okoro (who isn't anything special, but is still young and can develop) would only favor the Mavs more.
To top it off, the pick is top 5 protected instead of unprotected.
I don't see Cleveland agreeing with this.
Simplifying the trade could be the better way.
Allen for THJ + unprotected 2027 pick + 2 SRPs.
