US media simulates 4 for 1 big deal! Using chips such as Bojie + draft pick, to exchange for Cavaliers center Allen?

Before the 24-25 NBA Finals ended, the American media Sports Illustrated simulated a heavy deal between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, which immediately aroused the curiosity of fans.

According to the method given by Sports Illustrated, the Warriors gave Podjemsky and Moody, plus the 2028 first-round draft picks (top ten protected) and 2031 first-round draft picks to exchange for Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen. As soon as the content of this transaction came out, everyone was talking about it. Is this reliable?

Let's talk about these players first, the defender Bojski was born in 2003 and was selected by the Warriors in the 19th pick in the first round in 2023. This guy can play as a shooting guard on the court, and his rookie season has performed quite well. He can score around 9 points per game on average, and he also contributes a bit to rebounds and assists. In the regular season of this season, he averaged 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 37.2%. In the playoffs, he averaged 11.3 points, 5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 32.8%.

Moody has also been with the Warriors for some years and is an important rotation player for the team. He averaged 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in the regular season this season, and his three-point shooting percentage was 37.4%. By the playoffs, his personal contribution has declined a little, and his role in the team is obviously not as good as that of Bojie, so his playing time has been compressed again. Where is

Jarett - Allen? That's a good player in the inside of the Cavaliers. This season, he averaged 13.5 points per game, scored 9.7 rebounds, and had 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks. The most amazing thing is that his shooting percentage is as high as 70.6%, ranking first in the league, and his efficiency is simply amazing.

As for why Sports Illustrated came up with such a trading method? They felt that the Warriors' veterans such as Curry, Butler and Mengmeng Green had few years left in their peak careers. If you want to take advantage of this time to advance to the championship, you will have to change your lineup. An efficient inside line like Allen can bring qualitative improvement to the Warriors' inside line. The Cavaliers, although the regular season ended with a good record of 64 wins and 18 losses, lost in the second round of the playoffs. Perhaps they want to get some potential young players and draft picks through the trade and make plans for the team in the future.

In my opinion, this simulated deal is very interesting. The Warriors have never been very strong inside. Although Green is there, their height and heels are still poor. Allen can protect the basket when he comes, so that his opponent dare not rush to the inside line casually, and can also give stable scores on the offensive end. You think Curry is busy outside and attracts defense and passes the ball to inside Allen, which is much easier to score. Allen is only 27 years old, and it is the time to play. Joining Curry with him in the next few years will play a big role in winning the championship.

The Cavaliers did not play well in the playoffs this season, so they definitely want to change. Both Podjemsky and Moody are young and have potential, and there is a lot of room for development in the future. Adding to the two draft picks, it can give the Cavaliers more possibilities to adjust the lineup in the future. If you train well, you may not become the new core of the team. The Cavaliers' core defender Garland has a poor defense, but Boger and Moody are the Warriors' defensive vanguards, which is enough to meet the actual external defense needs.

However, this deal also has risks. Podjemsky and Moody have not fully proved themselves, and the draft pick is not accurate.

But if this transaction really happens, there may be new changes for both teams; if it can be done, just wait and see if it can be done, maybe it will be announced publicly one day!
