## Resource

The Cleveland Cavaliers are bracing for a wild summer after missing out on LeBron James, trading key players to create cap space and bringing in athletic rookie Peyton Watson. But with a top-heavy roster and shaky bench depth — from question marks like Mario Hezonja to unproven backups like Nae’Qwan Tomlin and Craig Porter — the team’s playoff readiness is in serious doubt. Losing Dean Wade’s defensive impact further weakens their rotation. While the starters look solid, the real test will be whether guys like Sam Merrill can rise to the occasion and fill the void left by a lack of reliable role players.
