The Cleveland Cavaliers’ front office had a clear vision this offseason and it was to improve a young, talented roster and get them over the hump and into the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference. Through the beginning days of free agency, it seems that they have done just that.
They brought back Caris LeVert on a team-friendly deal. They swapped out Cedi Osman and Lamar Stevens and brought in Max Strus and Georges Niang. They signed Ty Jerome as insurance for the backup point guard spot if Ricky Rubio continues to decline. They traded for a capable backup big in Damian Jones, who can actually play a few minutes a night and not fight mascots all day and ride the bench (sorry Robin Lopez).
