According to BR reporter Greg Swartz, Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is considered the "dream trading target" of the Bulls, Lakers, Grizzlies and Pelicans.
"Allen is an excellent defender and the most likely player to be traded among the Cavaliers' 'four cores'. It's no secret that the Lakers' signing direction during the offseason - they must find a starting center, preferably a player who can catch both the all-match of Doncic and James, and have the ability to protect the basket. Allen can meet these two needs, and at the same time have certain passing ability."
"If the Pelicans want to compete in the playoffs, they also think that the second-year center Mi West is not ready yet, and Allen will be a high-level starter with plug and play... If the Grizzlies get Allen, they will have two elite rim protectors (Allen and Jaren Jackson) who can be used as defensive core partners."
Allen played all 82 games for the Cavaliers this season, and averaged 13.5 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 70.6% and a free throw percentage of 71.8%.
