There are a couple of former teammates of Donovan Mitchell that could definitely give the Cavs some much needed juice from a three-and-D standpoint.
Troy Brown Jr. would be a nice under the radar wing target for the Cavs to pursue this summer in the upcoming free agency period.
The Cavs should be urging big man Jarrett Allen to be a bit more daring as a shooter from this point forward, which could pay off for himself and others.
Re-signing veteran wing Danny Green would be a sound move by the Cavs this summer, given how he should be ready to contribute next season.
The Cavs have a handful of guys who should fit the bill of "untouchable," regarding possible trade movement status, but others clearly should be cut loose.
A couple of former Cavs players would be sensible for the Wine and Gold to consider bringing back this summer in free agency.
Kevin Love's having the playoff run and role he was looking for, just now with the Heat, and not with the Cavs, who could've surely used him.
The Cleveland Cavaliers should be prioritizing perimeter shooting heading into next season, and Sam Merrill should have his chance in 2023-24.
The Cavs lost in their first round series to the New York Knicks 4-1, and in Game 5, among others, Cleveland was continually crushed in this area.
It seems unlikely, but the Cavs may want to sprinkle in alternative options here and there against the New York Knicks in Game 5 and hopefully, on.
For the Cavs to have a chance at a series comeback against the New York Knicks, this player must rebound from his disappearing act in New York.
Mitchell must move on from his Game 4, but Garland's response for the Cavs was a key positive from then. He needs chances to carry that forward.
Maybe more than anything else, the Cavs can't get bullied by the New York Knicks inside on both ends of the floor in ensuing games.
While it'd be a reasonable move to start him again, swingman Caris LeVert has thrived in his key bench role, and should remain as the Cavs sixth man.
Three Cavs come to mind that must have big games for Cleveland to wrest series control from the New York Knicks in Game 3, which we'll examine here.
Darius Garland's shot-making repetoire was on full display in Game 2 for the Cavs, and he can really get rolling after that kind of explosion.
Darius Garland didn't play great in Game 1 for the Cavs, but he's more than capable of opening things up against the New York Knicks in Game 2-on.
In this Knicks series and hopefully moving forward, it's going to take a mix of will and skill for these Cleveland Cavaliers to play at their best.
Evan Mobley and the Cavs need to be sharper as finishers in Game 2 and moving forward against the New York Knicks in the first round.
