## Resource

The Cavs face a brutal draft dilemma with their 29th pick, forced to choose between a high-upside player and financial survival—trading down or even skipping the first round to snag cheaper, two-way talent. A potential Giannis trade to Miami could destabilize the East, pushing Cleveland further down the ladder. With few assets to trade, they’d need to part with Evan Mobley for a Kawhi-level superstar to make a splash—otherwise, roster upgrades feel out of reach. Craig Porter Jr. is back on a team option but must sharpen his shooting and playmaking to secure backup PG minutes, or risk losing his spot to Tyrese Proctor. Meanwhile, Dean Wade’s looming free agency looms large—his departure could leave a gaping hole in the frontcourt, as no one on the roster is ready to fill those crucial, two-way minutes.
