## Resource

The Cleveland Cavaliers made bold moves before the trade deadline, ultimately landing James Harden for his playmaking and scoring—but they nearly pulled off even bigger deals. They eyed Derrick White and Jrue Holiday for their defense and experience, but found their offensive needs unmet: White’s shooting dipped and Holiday, while veteran, wasn’t the shot-creator they craved. Even Giannis Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP, was on their radar—though Milwaukee held firm. The Cavs’ pursuit of Harden, despite his underwhelming playoff showing, signals their hunger to build a true contender. With Giannis potentially available this summer, Cleveland’s next move could shake up the NBA. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
