Summary
Cleveland just added a young, affordable big man in Khalifa Diop — a 24-year-old second-round pick with overseas experience who brings gritty interior presence for under $1.36M in Year 1. Signed to a four-year deal worth up to $9.26M (with only the first year guaranteed), he’s the perfect low-risk upgrade behind Thomas Bryant, offering rebounding, rim protection, and spacing versatility. With Diop joining Meleek Thomas and Peyton Watson, the Cavs are building depth and youth while filling a critical need on the bench — smart move for a team looking to grow without breaking the bank.
