Why The Cleveland Cavaliers Do The Deal

By contrast, the Cavaliers are rich with shot creation. 

After all, this team just acquired one of the league’s best in Donovan Mitchell. Furthermore, they already had Darius Garland at the helm. Between those two, the Cavaliers have one of the best offensive backcourts in the NBA. 

Of course, that’s not all they have. Recent lottery pick Evan Mobley will need more touches in 2022-23 as well. The Cavs will also be hoping for better help from point guard Ricky Rubio, who is most effective with the ball in his hands. 

With so many dynamic offensive options, it’s hard to see where LeVert fits into the Cavaliers’ puzzle. Given his ball-dominant style, it would seem like a poor decision to cede many touches to him in favor of their plethora of other options. In other words, the Cavaliers could probably use a floor-spacer.

Fournier happens to be one. He is, simply put, a better fit for this roster. If LeVert were to break out on the Knicks, at least they’d be the benefactors of some good luck for once.
