What are the Cavaliers Looking to do in the Buyout Market? – Sports4CLE, 2/19/24
Who do you think they might be looking at in the buyout Market if anybody or or I mean it’s pretty deep team are they looking at anybody in the buyout Market that’s the problem that they’re running into Dave is that you know when they’re having these conversations with
These free agents in the buyout Market the guys that actually have you know other options and other destinations in mind um Danilo galinari for example he is um all but agreed to a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks the Cavs talk to galinari makes sense right he space the
Floor he gives them an insurance policy a depth piece behind um George Nang and Dean Wade um and it would make sense for him to come in and fill that kind of role but you know the Cavs were saying we don’t know what your playing time is
Going to be like we don’t know how consistent Your Role is going to be um we can’t guarantee that you’re going to be in our nightly rotation so that’s a tougher sell for guys that have other options and that’s the situation that the Cavs are in Dave they’re having a
Hard enough time getting minutes for Craig Porter Jr and Sam Merill and finding enough minutes for Dean Wade consistently so a lot of these guys they want a consistent role they want to know when their minutes are going to come if their minutes are going to come so I
Think the Cavs are going to be better off um looking at that next tier of available buyout type guys um Joe Harris somebody who has experience playing here in Cleveland I think he would come here he would accept the role of some nights I’m going to play other nights I’m not
Going to play who knows where my shots are going to come from but I’ll just be there in case um Seth Curry if he gets bought out from the Charlotte Hornets Davis bons if he gets bought out from the Charlotte Hornets like those are the
Kinds of guys that the Cavs are going to be looking for because really they’re just looking for an 11th or 12th guy that gives them a little bit of comfort and insurance um in case something happens in terms of injury or if one of these guys goes into a shooting Funk at
The wrong time or if one of these guys becomes unplayable in a playoff series because of a specific matchup
Dave Bacon and Chris Fedor discuss the Cavaliers and the buyout market.
