There are currently too many bodies in front of Tyson, but I think the Cavs have a decision to make on LeVert no later than next summer with Mobley’s extension kicking in and the emergence of Ty Jerome. Merrill, Jerome, and LeVert are all on expiring contracts. Merrill and Jerome will get offers above what they're making now.

One approach would to let the season play out however it plays out, but they should probably force feed Thor some minutes so they know whether they have a viable backup big, or not, ahead of the deadline.

Jerome is going to be more expensive than the Early Bird rights we have for him next off-season.

Can’t the Cavs go up 105% of the 2024 NBA average salary?

Yes. Will that be his best offer? (Usually the full MLE is around that number.) Would he take a 1+1 with a promise to make it up the next year?

Can the Cavs cut him now and sign him to this year's MLE in a 2+1, thereby establishing his full Bird Rights by 2026 free agency?

Good chance someone claims him off of waivers if you try that.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Tyson had a very promising game, but we need to keep in mind the competition level was something like summer league/g-league level.

You're right, probably need to just hope he takes the Bobby Portis path and not the Bruce Brown one, I guess.

Yeah, I am very interested to see a larger sample size. Rebounds well, active defender, with decent size on the wing. He looks to have the physical tools to be a nice compliment to Garland and Mitchell.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

Okoro and Merrill practiced in full today.

Wade and LeVert did not practice.

No word on Garland, hopefully just missed the game for rest.

Strus and Bates remain out.

Wade was there but was shooting set shots off two feet (no jumping) from 15-20 feet out.
