The Cleveland Cavaliers have been linked to a possible trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but their front office appears unlikely to be in favor of trading Evan Mobley away in exchange for the two-time MVP. Mobley is easily the Cavaliers' best trade asset if they were to make a significant move in improving their title chances during the Donovan Mitchell era.

"The Cavs love Mobley, they believe in him and there are multiple members of the Cleveland brain trust that would be vehemently against a Giannis-Mobley swap," wrote Chris Fedor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Mobley turns 25 this month, making him six years younger than Antetokounmpo, who has battled injuries over the past few years. Mobley will also make approximately $8 million less next season as the Cavaliers balance second apron issues.

Koby Altman went on record last week calling Mobley the team's "best player throughout the playoffs."
