The Cleveland Cavaliers have had a very quiet offseason so far. Their major moves have all come from within their own roster.

Of course, those major moves were signing Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen to major contract extensions.

Despite coming up short last season, the Cavaliers have opted not to get aggressive bringing in outside talent. That is something that has been frustrating for the fans.

With the 2024-25 NBA season right around the corner, Cleveland is being urged to make a major roster move.

ESPN has revealed a roster fix that the Cavaliers must make as soon as possible. They believe that Cleveland needs to bring in a two-way wing.

“Mobley and Allen are one of the best defensive tandems in the league and automatically give Cleveland a strong baseline over the course of the season. But who is guarding Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown when the Cavs play the Celtics? Or Khris Middleton when they play the Bucks? Or Paul George when they play the 76ers? No matter how good those two big men are, Cleveland will, at some point, need to address how to better protect the perimeter. Simply bringing back Okoro won’t be enough.”

Speaking of Okoro, the Cavaliers also have not figure out what to do with him. He is still a restricted free agent.

That take about the team’s perimeter defense is very valid. If Cleveland truly wants to compete for a championship, they need to focus on how to defend against the elite offenses in the East. As of right now, they don’t have much of a chance of defending the Boston Celtics.

Bringing Okoro back would be a step in the right direction. However, they really need to add another key piece as well.

More than likely, that move would need to come via a trade. There aren’t many quality free agents left on the market.

All of that being said, it will be interesting to see if the Cavaliers end up making any moves before the regular season. If they don’t, there is a decent chance that they could be players ahead of the NBA trade deadline.

The Cleveland Cavaliers waived Ricky Rubio last January, and shortly after, the former point guard announced his retirement from the NBA.

But now, the Cavaliers are making a historic move involving the Spanish legend.

Keith Smith of Spotrac reports that Cleveland has become the first team to utilize the delayed stretch of a waived player, which is a feature under the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement.

The Cavs took $1.3 million in dead money for Rubio and stretched it to $425,000 per year over the next three seasons.

As a result, the Cavaliers are now $10.6 million under the luxury tax without Isaac Okoro’s qualifying offered factored into the equation. If Okoro accepts his $11.8 million qualifying offer, Cleveland will then be about $1.2 million over the tax.

Either way, this Rubio move opens some monetary relief for the Cavs, who are not exactly in the best financial situation heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

Rubio played two seasons for the Cavaliers in 2021-22 and 2022-23, playing in a grand total of 67 games between the two campaigns.

The 33-year-old’s most productive year in Cleveland came in his first season with the club, as he averaged 13.1 points, 6.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals over 28.5 minutes per game while shooting 36.3 percent from the floor, 33.9 percent from three-point range and 85.4 percent from teh free-throw line.

Rubio also played for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns throughout his 12-year NBA career, registering lifetime averages of 10.8 points and 7.4 assists per game.
