The Cleveland Cavaliers were sending a clear message during the offseason: no more one-sided players. The Cavaliers want to find role players who could execute on both ends. In theory, it was a great idea. In execution, it has not quite been what Cleveland would have envisioned.
The offseason was not a busy one for the Cavaliers. They drafted Tyrese Proctor, swapped Isaac Okoro for Lonzo Ball, let Ty Jerome walk, signed Larry Nance Jr. and Thomas Bryant. The moves did not grab many headlines, but most were under the impression that was unnecessary.
