Why The Cleveland Cavaliers Do The Deal
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll agree that the Cavaliers aren’t desperate for shot creation. Donovan Mitchell can give you 71 reasons why not.
Of course, he’s not alone. His backcourt mate Darius Garland is a star-caliber offensive player. Evan Mobley’s offense is developing too. The Cavaliers may have outgrown LeVert.
It’s possible that all they really need is some 3-and-D out of their wings. In that case, this deal is perfect for them. Bullock is having a down year, but he’s been the quintessential 3-and-D wing for years.
Meanwhile, Ntilikina can function in that role as well. He’d also make a quality backup point guard for this group.

In other words, they’d be scratching an itch.
