"I think Allen would work okay as we know his numbers going forward and he is on a not horrible number for a starting center. He is definitely a player Luka would want to play with so getting him now or over the summer would not matter to Rob. Cavs might take the Ayton side of this as only $10.3m this year & $8.4m if Ayton opts in to his deal. Nets get [--] 2nds instead of one with an expiring Gabe so they would go for that and the money of the 18m would be spread out over [--] years (10.3m & and 8.4m) I think everyone might do the 2nd deal. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2018832768709599376"
