Caris LeVert – Cleveland Cavaliers
The trade between the Cavaliers and Pacers involving Caris LeVert happened a few days before the trade deadline, but it has turned out to be one of the most impactful transactions of the season.
With Collin Sexton and Ricky Rubio (traded) out for the season, the Cavaliers were left thin in terms of scoring talent on the perimeter. Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen have stepped up as first-time All-Stars this season and Evan Mobley is the heavy front-runner for Rookie of the Year, but Cleveland still needed another high-impact scorer.
Caris LeVert struggles to score from deep, but he is one of the more explosive scorers in the league in terms of getting to his spots on the floor and driving hard to the rim.
This fit between the Cavaliers and Caris LeVert seems like a match made in heaven to this point, as Garland and LeVert look like they have been playing together for years already!

In 4 games with the Cavaliers, Caris LeVert has averaged just 13.3 points, 3.8 assist and has shot 39.7% from the floor, but his presence has really opened up things offensively for this team. As he continues to grow in this system, LeVert is going to prove very useful to the Cavaliers, a team that currently sits just two full games back from first-place in the Eastern Conference.
