Why The Cleveland Cavaliers Do The Deal
Yes. If this deal is available, the Cavaliers should take it and not look back. Some will disagree. They’ll say that Evan Mobley isn’t ready for full-time duties at the five. Fair.
At the same time, he didn’t look ready to play the four in the first round of the playoffs. Cleveland could still find a backup big man. They don’t have to abandon dual big lineups entirely.
Still, a more modernized look would probably help them generate offense in the postseason. Grant would give them that modernized look. This is a fantastic two-way wing.
Grant can score in the half-court and guard multiple positions. If he’s available this summer, he could give the Cavaliers a more conventional – and successful – team.
