- Paul highlighted LeBron's affection for teammate Darius Garland, considering the Harden trade a negative, and firmly denied any plans to trade key player Evan Mobley to the Boston Celtics.
- The presence of both pros and cons for Cleveland on the board suggests a nuanced evaluation, with Paul emphasizing that Mobley remains a vital part of the Cavaliers' future and not available for trade.
