Sounds like CLE is open to moving him. Seems like he could be a good 2nd unit / end of game option, as a 3-n-D guy.

That said, he's tricky to trade for. Don't see Ainge using a big piece of the TPE on him. So it's kind of a Tristin Thompson or bust scenario.

I think he makes way too much money to be worth it.

Not worth going into the luxury tax for, but I suppose I'd rather have him than Thompson so if there was a team that would take Thompson I'd be open to Prince.  Wouldn't give up a 1st for him though, so it would have to be mostly a salary dump from the Cavs.

Boston - Prince
Cleveland - Z. Collins, Little
Portland - Thompson

Something like that might work for all 3 teams.

This guy was a pretty solid player in ATL. Seems like it went wrong in Brooklyn. Not sure if just a bad fit. Has a mid sized contract so could be useful for future trade matching.

He would add some toughness to the team.  He can shoot the three ball and  generally defends but that is a steep price.

No sure I follow the steep price part. Guys only signed thru next season at under $13MM. He’s essentially a mid-level player, and he’s an upgrade over some of our bench trash.

Anyway it was just a thought!
