In this year’s NBA playoffs, Jarrett Allen pairing with Evan Mobley felt questionable to the Cleveland Cavaliers. That’s why they might consider trading him this offseason. With Evan and Allen paired, Cavaliers looked slow in the game.
However, the Cavaliers are facing issues in finding a team that is interested in trading Allen, which clearly indicates the declining value of Jarrett Allen in the NBA league.
Even though Allen has been regarded as one of the best defensive players in the NBA, his market value has seen a downfall in recent times. But one potential team that could trade for Allen is the Dallas Mavericks.
The Trade Proposal for Jarrett Allen
- Cleveland Cavaliers receive G/F Tim Hardaway Jr., G/F Josh Green, 2027 First-Round Pick (from Dallas Mavericks)
- Dallas Mavericks Receive: C Jarrett Allen
While Allen’s value has declined in recent times, there are still some teams that can trade for him to use him as a center (5) and power forward (4) position. The teams can have a potential defensive advantage of having a big man with quick footwork like Allen.

Cleveland had a plan where Jarrett Allen would be their main defender around the rim while Evan Mobley would excel as a mobile and versatile defender, guarding opponents on the weak side and switching positions.
However, the Cavaliers are now considering trading Allen to Dallas Mavericks, and Dallas is quite interested in Allen.
Why the Dallas Mavericks Want Jarrett Allen On Their Roster?
Dallas Mavericks can use Allen as a defensive anchor as he is well-skilled for this job. But that’s not the only value he will add. He is also a solid pick-and-roll finisher to pair with Doncic in the team.
Why the Cleveland Cavaliers Trading Jarrett Allen?
Cavaliers are considering this trade deal since Allen is not a long-term fit for the team when paired with Evan Mobley.
Mobley can be used effectively in the defensive strategies by the Cavaliers in the center position. This can also resolve the existing spacing problem that the Cavaliers are facing right now.
