The Cleveland Cavaliers’ Jarrett Allen might get acquired by the Dallas Mavericks this summer. Evan Mobley has been the Cavaliers’ star, and since Allen does not fit in well with him, the Cavaliers are likely to send him away. The Mavericks have their stars as well, but they are inclined toward landing a few quality players to improve their roster.
While playing 68 games for the Cavaliers last season, Allen averaged 14.2 points, 1.7 assists, and 9.8 rebounds per game. He had a decent season, but the Cavaliers would like to land somebody who they can pair with Mobley. Can the Mavericks grab the opportunity and land him? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Dallas Mavericks involving Jarrett Allen.
What would the Mavericks offer for Jarrett Allen?
The Mavericks are likely to offer Tim Hardaway, Josh Green, and a 2027 first-round pick in exchange for Jarrett Allen. The Mavericks have put their faith in Luka Doncic, and they also landed Kyrie Irving this summer. They would fancy a few more signings to contend for the title. The Cavaliers would be happy to do this deal to get a replacement for Allen who can compliment Mobley better.
A three-team trade idea surrounding New Orleans, Cleveland, Charlotte:
• Pelicans acquire Jarrett Allen
• Cavaliers acquire PJ Washington, Kira Lewis Jr., 2025 first-round pick (via MIL from NOP)
• Hornets receive Jonas Valanciunas, 2024 first-round pick (via LAL from NOP)

Why would the Cavaliers let Jarrett Allen go?
The Cavaliers will get two players and an unprotected draft pick in this deal. They would be happy with the exchange since the duo of Mobley and Allen is not working out the way they had expected. In scenarios like these, either of the two leaves the team, and since Mobley is the face of the Cavaliers as of now, it is Jarrett who will have to make way for somebody better.
