Should Cavs consider this trade with PHI proposed by The Sixer Sense?

Examining the deal from Cleveland’s side

From the Cavaliers’ perspective, this deal would be mostly about solidifying their offense with Harris, who has 18.2 points per outing this season, and 19.5 and 19.6 points per contest the two years prior.

The 6-foot-8 Harris is a proven scorer in this league, and he can get it done in a variety of ways, some on and off-ball. That could ease burden on Darius Garland, in the short term, too.

Harris is a player that can get create for his own at either forward spot, can make things happen via pull-ups, operating of the mid-post and coming off of dribble handoffs. Off-ball, he’s a capable cutter and can knock down some looks off movement, as well as via catch-and-shoots.

And although his three-point production has been streaky with Philadelphia, he could be a valuable shooter as well that defenses still can’t help off of.

On the defensive end, Harris is more competent on-ball than Lauri Markkanen, and is a solid rebounder, similarly. In this hypothetical scenario, though, how this affect Markkanen’s outlook would involve him feasibly moving to the bench, or potentially him being dealt at some point from there, clearly.

In regards to Milton, he’s a player that has shown steady growth in the past two seasons, is a decent playmaker that’s appeared as a de facto 1 for the Sixers some, and offensively, he can provide some of a scoring lift.

In stretches with Darius Garland, he could be a legit fit as well, but he is a player that has had injuries of his own, and is currently dealing with back soreness. That, and how, in this case, he could potentially stunt the growth of Isaac Okoro and/or Dylan Windler is not something I’d be loving for the Cavaliers, though.

On the plus side, the 6-foot-5 Milton is an impact defender, and in spurts, could be another guy to hound opposing primary ball handlers.

So, should the Cavs be interested in Johnson’s hypothetical deal then?
