In a painful offseason for former Cleveland Cavaliers veteran Georges Niang, he has been traded for the third time in the last year.
Originally signed by the Cavaliers in 2023, Niang quickly became a polarizing role player among Cleveland fans. While his three-point shooting and high energy could ignite a crowd, his worrisome defensive struggles and inconsistent shooting often drove those same crowds crazy.
Over one-and-a-half seasons with the Cavaliers, Niang averaged 9.1 points and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 38.5 percent from three. If nothing else, Niang was a reliable presence, appearing in every game with Cleveland in his first season.
