The Cleveland Cavaliers Have Big Changes Coming - 2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 3

Спорт

The Cleveland Cavaliers have incrementally progressed over the past three seasons with a talented but flawed roster. After winning their first playoff series, expectations are picking up and the pressure is on organizationally. The biggest domino is Donovan Mitchell. They gave up a lot for him and need to keep him long-term. If he doesn't extend, do they risk taking him into free agency? Either way, it sounds like at least one of him or Darius Garland will be traded this season. And with Evan Mobley set to get a significant extension this summer, do they consider trading Jarrett Allen as well? And would acquiring another max player like Brandon Ingram make sense for their payroll long-term? It may be time to split up the two small guards and two centers to create a more versatile lineup.

    Another cool video, thanks, Mitchell has a bum knee...which is why I don't think he can go the Beal route - he needs to secure the maximum amount of money right now. Even without the knee, he's not good enough to earn a max for ages 31-35. After CLE extends him for four years, CLE should offer Garland for Keldon Johnson, the eighth pick in this year's draft and Atlanta's 2025 pick. That would be a good deal for both CLE and SAS.

    I like it a lot for the Cavs. I'm just not sure the Spurs want to blow a lot of their flexibility on a max player like Trae Young or Darius Garland right now. They should be able to get a point guard with one of their two first-round picks this year.

    First thing is that DM's player option is after this year so it's not until next year that he can become a UFA, and your the first person who has said Max played really well. He has played ok but many have said the Cavs didn't get the type of production they thought they were getting.

    I don’t think Strus played really well but he gave you what you signed him for. He was actually better than what I thought… he’s a much better defender and playmaker then I thought prior to signing him

    Sure, but the great thing is that the Cavs don't need Strus to be a high option with the contract he's making. As far as modernizing the roster, I think it would be great to slide him down to the 2, and I think he'd be good enough to start at the 2 for a contender.

    If Mitchell extends and the Cavs move Garland and/or Jarrett Allen, Brandon Ingram would a terrible fit for them. They need off ball players, which BI is not. He'd gum up the offense even more so than DG already does, because Ingram takes many dribbles before he gets going. I do agree with moving one or both of GD & JA for multiple off ball players, though.

    If the cavs trade garland they gone need a wing that can make plays with the ball in his hands an that’s what Ingram do! So instead of garland dribbling out the shot clock just to shoot a step back 3 cuz he can’t finish around the rim so that what is gone be most of the time an that’s why he always shoot bad against good teams

    4 quarters do not equal $1 in the NBA. I agree with needing off ball players. But teams gaining the superstars are always the winners in trades in the NBA

    @@YossiGozlanNBA exactly. Brandon Ingram is kind of a no-man's-land player. He's not good enough to be a serious 1-2 punch player, like Kyrie & Luka are, but he's too good to be a roll player. He strikes me as the kind of player who can help a team win a title later on in his career, once he finds his niche.

    I'm not crazy about Donovan Mitchell due to his size at the two, so I think there's a pathway for the Cavaliers to be very successful without him. But given how much they gave up for him and how far he's carried them, he's obviously the priority there.
