Cavs should use Okoro as trade piece to improve at wing, on margins

At this point, the Cleveland Cavaliers do know what they have in Isaac Okoro on the defensive end, and there, he’s been an impact player.

Okoro has taken continual strides on that end of the floor for Cleveland, proving over the time, and particularly the past two seasons, how he can be a formidable presence to have against opposing wings and at the point-of-attack. His mindset there has helped set the tone for the Cavaliers in recent seasons, and his tenacity, physicality and effort on-ball have led to him forcing opponents into difficult shots, or better yet, has prevented shots in the process.
