Why the Offseason is So Important for the Cavaliers – Sports4CLE, 6/13/24
how important is this off season that that’s the The Logical question you you got Mitchell there might be a major tweak or shift in the roster and you got to find the head coach I mean you got to get pretty much all of those right yeah and that’s uh you know it’s a very it’s funny because nationally we not hearing much about the Cavs off season but uh locally I think people are understanding that yeah this is this is pretty huge because you’ve got three big things uh working right now number one obviously is a Donovan Mitchell thing I I think that’s even bigger than the coaching hire because you can hire a great coach if Donovan Mitchell leaves well then you’re starting from scratch again you know so I think number one’s Donovan Mitchell number two obviously the coach presuming that Donovan Mitchell does resign as everybody is optimistic and confident that he will do uh or or sign that extension then you know you got to find a coach who’s going to bring out the best Mitchell you don’t have to worry about but going to bring out the best in Moy Allen and the the guys around them uh you know the Caris levers and Isaac okoro and and you know some of those other guys George Yang that that you want to contribute even more next season so that’s the number two thing the number three thing is obviously you know Isaac okoro is a restricted free agent I would say that all these things are tied Isaac okoro is a restricted free agent Evan Moy can can sign a longer deal and then of course you may have to deal with a Darius Garland trade which all of a sudden after you make a coaching hire and sign Donovan Mitchell this becomes your number one priority could potentially be trading Darius Garland so uh yeah it could be it could be as crazy an offseason as you think now the other thing I’ve heard and and you know one thing we have to remember when it comes to trade uh Dave is you have until February to to make one of those so I don’t know that they’ll be real desperate to make a trade uh before the season unless it does involve Darius Garland because you don’t want to go into the season with a guy who who doesn’t want to be there
