Cavaliers Trade Ideas: 2022-23 regular season edition

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Not sure if this helps or hurts the Cavs but:

Cavs: Vucevic, Derozan
Warriors: Jarrett Allen
Bulls: Kuminga, Multiple draft picks

Bulls would most likely seek more.

Thoughts/modifications?
Cavs are sending out about 30 million fewer dollars than that would require.
 
So how would you adjust
You really can't for that package of players (Vooch & Demarr). Well, you CAN if you are willing to gut the rotation. And those guys at this point in their respective careers (Both are on the wrong side of 33y/o) are just not worth what that would cost.

Darius Garland$34,005,250$36,725,670$39,446,090$42,166,510$44,886,930
Donovan Mitchell$33,162,030$35,410,310$37,096,620$0$0
Jarrett Allen$20,000,000$20,000,000$20,000,000$0$0
Caris LeVert$15,384,616$16,615,384$0$0$0
Max Strus$14,487,684$15,212,068$15,936,452$16,660,836$0
Isaac Okoro$8,920,794$11,828,974$0$0$0
Evan Mobley$8,882,640$11,227,657$14,730,686$0$0
Georges Niang$8,800,000$8,500,000$8,200,000$0$0
Ricky Rubio$6,146,342$6,439,025$0$0$0
Dean Wade$5,709,877$6,166,667$6,623,456$0$0
Tristan Thompson$3,196,448$0$0$0$0
Damian Jones$2,586,665$0$0$0$0
Ty Jerome$2,439,025$2,560,975$0$0$0
Sam Merrill$1,997,238

Mix and match 30million out of these salaries. Without costing a significant piece (Other than Jarrett), it would take Allen, Niang, Rubio, Wade, Thompson, Jones, Jerome, and Merrill to match salaries. And that doesn't take into account backfilling a roster that is now down just 8 active players (11 if you count the 2-way guys). So, in short, you don't do that.

I doubt they put us over the hump anyway... Doubt we will get anything done until the offseason if/when Mitchell doesn't sign an extension.
