Might a Grant Williams sign-and-trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers make sense for all parties?

Might a Grant Williams sign-and-trade by the Boston Celtics to the Cleveland Cavaliers make sense for all parties? Some recent speculation based on chatter heard by Cleveland Cavaliers beat reporter Chris Fedor in a recent article for Cleveland.com. Noting Boston might balk at a big enough offer sheet, Fedor relates that the “Cavs are monitoring the situation.”

Cedi Osman’s expiring contract combined with some added salary filler and future second-round picks could be appealing to a cap-strapped organization in a possible sign-and-trade deal that would allow the Cavs to sign Williams for more than midlevel exception,” writes the Cleveland.com reporter, “similar to what they did a few years ago with Lauri Markkanen.”

“Would that be enough?” he ponders, and it certainly could be if there were no other offers out there — and that is even assuming that the Celtics do not find a path towards retaining the Tennessee alum.

With free agency set to kick off at 6 pm ET on Friday, we will not have too long to wait in order to find out.
