I don’t hate the idea, but does CLE need another PG. They already have Garland, Rubio, Rondo, Neto. Also, how is Markkanen defensively?

I like the trade but I'm not sure there is reason for either team to do it.
Isn’t Markkanen redundant of Gallo? Not as proven a scorer, but a bit better as a defender. I’ll keep D White. I think this year we will see more of the good D White and less of the bad. And good D White is a very good player on both ends.

They could both play the stretch PF role. Horford slides over to back up C. But as soon as Horford or RWill are injured, then you have a much greater need.People are responding pretty much as I expected. It is very much a lateral move that is more about roster balance than upgrade. I view the long term or even medium term need for a good big as greater than the need for a good combo guard.I don't view this trade as likely, at least in what remains of the off season. If they do move White, I see it done at the deadline after we are sure what we have in Brogdon.
Lauri Markkanen oli täysin pysäyttämätön kun Susijengi otti voiton Ukrainasta. 🏀💪 Markkasen uskomattomat 42 pistettä ja Suomen voitto antavat mitä parhaimmat lähtökohdat ensi viikon MM-karsintaan.
It is a poor value trade. White is better and given what Boston gave up to get him, they can't make that type of a trade for a guy that basically no one wanted last summer. Plus, I don't think he makes Boston better than keeping White, and I'd honestly trust someone like Dwight Howard more to be a spot starter at center than someone like Markkanen.
