Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

Not especially sad to see Niang go, he takes too many bad 3s, but LeVert is an energy guy who had stretches where he really kept us in games where it was easy for the team to go through periods of disinterest. I hope this doesn't disrupt the chemistry they have too much.

Strus is bouncing back very well... thus Niang is moved.
Ty Jerome made it easier to include LeVert...
Meanwhile Okoro and Hunter will be the other forward so maybe Wade starts losing some minutes
and I suspect they want to give Tyson more exposure before the playoffs when he'll be parked on the bench unless it's a rout...
Eventually Bates will be assessed... if when he comes back, he's still undisciplined, I'd be surprised to see him on next yrs roster

Geez, look at me like I'm @exhawg tier evaluating the Cavs

I think the 3 and D aspect of Hunter is damn near perfect for the Cavs. The starting 5 now is going to be the best in the league in my opinion and bench depth is excellent. Okoro and Wade coming back would be tremendous.

Just stay healthy. I think there could be a trophy at the end of this.

Giving up too many points lately. I'm guessing some of that is because the Offense has been more up and down and Cavs are giving up the transition plays more but I have a feeling the legs are a bit tired. I really hope this All Star break gets some healing and energy back.

Really short handed too…they only had 10 tonight. Will get better when the trade is final and Okuro and Wade get healthy (assuming they do)
