Cavaliers' Offseason Moves Receive Strong Review

With most of this year's NBA offseason moves in the books and the dust settled, many around the league have begun to dish out some early thoughts and opinions of how each team in the league has fared in their decisions across recent weeks, and who ended up with the best outcomes of the bunch.

For the Cleveland Cavaliers, their offseason wasn't the flashiest, but one where they made a few significant moves around the edges. They traded for Lonzo Ball from the Chicago Bulls, added Larry Nance Jr. back, re-signed Sam Merrill, drafted Tyrese Proctor out of Duke, and now seem well-positioned for another run to place atop the Eastern Conference for 2025.

All in all, a productive summer where Cleveland did what they needed to before next season– a sentiment that Yahoo Sports analyst Ben Rohrback seemingly agrees with within his latest offseason grades around the NBA, opting to stack up the Cavaliers' summer as a solid "B."

"The Cavaliers are a 64-win team that is spending into the second apron, so they expected to lose Ty Jerome, their Sixth Man of the Year candidate. As Jerome signed a three-year, $27 million contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, Cleveland swapped Okoro for Ball, who replaces the playmaking off the bench. Re-signing old friend Larry Nance Jr. was also a nice bit of business for a front office with zero flexibility."
