American News: The Cavaliers don t need to trade core players such as Garland. They still have great potential if they are not the Lakers.

June 11th News Where will the Cavaliers go in the future? In the view of well-known sports reporter Tim Bontemps, what they need to do most now is to restrain themselves, stay calm, and respond to changes.

Not long ago, Tim Bontemps conducted a relatively calm analysis of the current situation of the Knights in a program with hosts Ken Carman and Anthony Lima on 92.3 The Fan.

Tim Bontemps said: "The Cavaliers actually don't need to trade Garland. I think the Cavaliers do need to be more capable in the perimeter defense, but that doesn't mean they have to send Garland away. I do think they need to upgrade their defensive lineups and find players who can defend the perimeter."

He gave an example: "Look at how the Pacers attacked the Cavaliers in the second round... This is actually a question I've had about the Cavaliers all season, and in that round of the series, the problem was finally exposed."

There were rumors that the combination of Garland and Donovan Mitchell might have limited Evan Mobley's growth space. Bontemps said: "I don't think 'we have too many good offensive players' can be a reason to trade a player. If you want Mobley to hold the ball more, design a tactic that will allow him to get the ball more. He has indeed made important progress on the offensive end and there is still a lot of room for growth."

"He is the kind of young man with the potential to become the top five players in the league... I think he is on a very good development track, and there is no need to sacrifice another good offensive player to get more touches."

In addition, Tim Bontemps mentioned that trading Garland or Jarrett Allen may also be difficult to exchange for ideal returns in terms of the current market. So based on this, he said: "They just won 64 regular season games and played one of the best seasons in team history. Although they lost to the strong Pacers in the second round, don't forget that Garland fought with injuries throughout the whole process. The Cavaliers' next reasonable choice is: make some upgrades and adjustments on the edge of the lineup, and make another move next year to see where the limit of this lineup is."

"The Cavaliers are not like the Lakers now - LeBron is 40 years old, and the team only has the last chance to attack," he said. "The Cavaliers' core players are still in their 20s and have contracts. This team has a very broad development space."

"So I don't think it should be a time to panic. Of course, this summer has indeed brought some questions worth pondering, such as why this season ends in this way, how to operate the summer, and how to continue to move forward next season."
