As the offseason slows down and speculation builds around how every team's additions, subtractions and changes will impact their next season, the Cleveland Cavaliers remain one of the top franchises across the board.
Losing Ty Jerome in free agency undoubtedly set the Cavs' bench offense back by a step or two. Though Jerome's game was imperfect and his defense was subpar, the veteran guard's confident scoring and contagious enthusiasm were necessary sparks for the Cavaliers all season. With Lonzo Ball and Larry Nance, Jr. in town, Cleveland is prioritizing overall versatility and defensive talent over Jerome's score-first mindset.
