Does Trading Isaac Okoro Make Sense for The Cleveland Cavaliers?

While the Cleveland Cavaliers may still run back the core four next season, there's a very real possibility that some of the Wine and Gold's role players could be on the move this offseason.

One player who has recently popped up in trade rumors is former top-five pick Isaac Okoro.

However, does trading Okoro make sense for the Cavaliers?

In many ways, yes, and here's why.

To start, Okoro has established himself as a quality 3-and-D rotation player.

He's always been one of the NBA's best defenders since he entered the league, and his outside shot has really come along since being drafted. Okoro shot 37.1 percent from behind the arc last season on 2.7 attempts a game.

However, Cleveland's rotation has become crowded, and while depth can be beneficial, Okoro's role continues to decrease with De'Andre Hunter, Max Strus, and, in some cases, Dean Wade ahead of him in Kenny Atkinson's rotation.

Okoro only averaged 19.7 minutes per game last season, the least amount in his career by a significant margin.
