After seemingly completing the offseason checklist, the Cleveland Cavaliers are back in trade rumors.
Opening the summer, Cleveland added Tyrese Proctor via the draft, Lonzo Ball in a trade with the Chicago Bulls, re-signed Sam Merrill and signed Larry Nance, Jr. for a hometown reunion. The Cavs demonstrated an intentional plan this summer to prioritize defense and on-court versatility. Cleveland's backcourt finally added a secondary playmaker and defensive grit with Ball. Nance brings a reliable backup big behind Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.
Outside of some nonsensical LeBron James trade rumors, the Cavaliers' offseason grew quiet.
