The Cleveland Cavaliers are entering the offseason with a lot of questions to be answered. Despite going 48-34 and notching the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, they were sent packing by the Boston Celtics in five games in the semifinals.

There have been questions surrounding the future of J.B. Bickerstaff, Donovan Mitchell, and Darius Garland in Cleveland.

With all these things looming over the organization, the Cavs decided to make a shocking change ahead of this offseason.

According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert is going to be ‘significantly’ more included in the basketball operations starting this offseason.

The Cavs have Koby Altman as the President of Basketball Operations and Mike Gansey as the general manager. Nonetheless, it looks like those two men will have to include Gilbert in conversations regarding the future of the club.

Jarret Allen’s name has already been involved in trade discussions with Mitchell’s potential massive extension hanging in the balance.

Windhorst appeared on ‘The Hoop Collective’ and said, “I would think the Cavs are going to be spending more time in this next month looking at possible Jarrett Allen trades and what that can bring.”

Allen has two years and $40 million left on his current deal and the Cavs could be looking to move that.

As for Garland, it has been reported that his management Klutch Sports will meet with Cleveland this offseason to orchestrate a trade if Mitchell decides to stay in Cleveland long-term.

With all these big changes on the horizon, the 62-year-old owner will have a say in what transpires.

This season, despite dealing with a multitude of significant injuries, the Cleveland Cavaliers made it to their first Eastern Conference Semifinals in six years.

But since this postseason run has come to an end, the team has now entered their offseason.

One member of the organization who will reportedly be a key factor in deciding the team’s future is Cavaliers Owner Dan Gilbert.

In a recent radio interview on ESPN Cleveland’s “The Really Big Show,’ ESPN Senior NBA Writer Brian Windhorst shared his thoughts on how much he believes Cleveland’s owner will be involved in the team’s offseason.

“Significantly,” Windhorst said. “Dan is more in position to be involved with the organization again. He had his other son come and be the team president for a year. He left the organization this year, so there was a void. And so Dan has stepped into it. And absolutely, Dan is heavily involved. As he should be, he owns the team.”

There appear to be many decisions for the Wine and Gold to make this offseason. For instance, five-time reigning NBA All-Star Donovan Mitchell is eligible for a five-year contract extension, 2022 NBA All-Star Darius Garland could reportedly request a trade, and 2022 NBA All-Star Jarrett Allen could reportedly be a trade target for other teams.

However, per Windhorst, the composition of the team will ultimately be determined by Cavaliers President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman.

“This team is built by Koby Altman, it’s not built by Dan Gilbert,” Windhorst said. “This is Koby’s team, and what will happen this summer, that’s Koby there. But obviously, Dan’s going to have a big role.”
