A Vanderbilt would unironically be a great acquisition for them. They need a 6'8-6'10 stretch big with some athleticism, like you mentioned. be huge if he could space too

Good thing is they have plenty of assets to make a move near deadline but I really hope they try to address this. It's a reason CP3 went 14/14, he did the same thing with PNR.
They need another guy who can shoot threes in the starting lineup. I wonder if they'll swap Jones and Murphy at some point or at least try it.

I think starting 5 is fine, Herb is too valuable on defense. Just watch this game, Jazz are putting Jonas in PNR every single time. Antonio Daniels mentioning the same thing. This is exactly what Suns did in playoffs, what Mavs will do on Tuesday. These type of games, you have to sit Jonas down quick instead of leaving him on the island.

I agree with sitting Jonas in games like this. He's had a great start to the season but I wonder if they'll have the guts to push him to the bench and start Murphy with Zion, BI, CJ and Jones.

They need one more shooter around Zion. CJ's the only guy in the starting lineup who really takes and makes threes.

Really, Lonzo was the perfect fit but obviously he's gone and can't stay healthy anyway.

Cavs got to figure out a upgrade at wing…. They can maybe wait because the draft next year is deep in wings but still Okoro, Cedi, and Levert are not the rotation you want come playoff time.
