Josh Howard
Royal Jackson
Cavs 2019 first round pick

for

Phillip Meyers
Darren Alston

I agree. I'm an inside oriented team right now because of Dial's development. This change doesn't mesh well with Meyer's A+ outside shooting which reflects moreso on his percentages than it does scoring ability as he doesn't shoot the ball as much as I would like, although he is a well rounded player. I have Drew to take Meyer's role who is much more of a scorer and is a year younger. Without Drew, I wouldn't have done this trade. When it comes to sheer talent, I agree that the cavs have the advantage, but in terms of getting some extra insurance for 2019 in case this upcoming rookie class doesn't pan out for my rebuilding team, I'm content with the loss. I do gain much needed perimeter defense and rebounding with Howard, and Jackson's B inside scoring will go well with my team's focus.

Traded two guys who would be at the end of the bench for one of the best, if not the best, outside shooter in the league to fill my team's biggest weakness. Meyers may have been my missing link. Now let's just see what happens...
