The Cleveland Cavaliers, who lost in the NBA Playoffs to the New York Knicks and, frankly, were embarrassed by them, have an interesting offseason ahead and will have a lot to consider.

There seemed to be hope that the Cavaliers could land Los Angeles Lakers free agent LeBron James, and there have been rumblings that they were interested in Jaylen Brown. 

While that’s not possible now after Brown landed with the Philadelphia 76ers, it poses the question of whether the Cavaliers have enough to entice James to come back to Cleveland.

“If you can trade Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown and LeBron James, now it is a different discussion,” Brian Windhorst said, H/T Heavy.

“The Cleveland Cavaliers learned today that LeBron James would be willing to play for less than his market-value salary. That changed everything. So how does Cleveland get LeBron James’ attention? Do they show him their brand-new practice facility they’re building? … That’s not going to impress him. What’s going to impress him is what they can do with this roster. What can the Cleveland Cavs do?

If the Celtics were to have traded Evan Mobley for Brown, I wouldn’t have hated it.

I think he's an elite defender and a valuable player, but I don't view him as being of the same caliber as Brown. 

They're completely different players in terms of what they do on the court, but I think Brown is a better player, so if the Cavaliers could’ve landed him, I would’ve done so.
