My point is, that he’ll most likely sign an extension wherever he goes. As dumb as it is, players almost have more control over where they go when traded than they do in free agency. Good teams rarely have cap space in todays world (Philly is an exception).

This is probably the most realistic post in the thread. He's most likely going to secure the bag first and foremost and demand a trade if things don't pan out in a year or two. His response to how he feels about Cleveland pretty much sells that idea. And Cleveland will bend over backwards to please him by trying to get another big time player there with him with their assets. (Garland/Allen)

Been saying this for a while, not sure why it always receives push back.

There's what people think should happen, and what does happen. Players of that level have darn near full control and at the very least get to sign off on where they're going. It is what it is.
