Jarrett Allen was a quality trade acquisition by the Cleveland Cavaliers from the Brooklyn Nets, who was shipped to Cleveland, along with Taurean Prince, as part of the James Harden-centric blockbuster trade in mid-January.
Allen initially came off the bench behind Andre Drummond, but that didn’t last long, as Drummond/his camp and the Cavs eventually agreed that he’d sit up until Cleveland could find a trade partner for him. That didn’t happen, as the two sides came to a buyout agreement.
