Offseason roster moves the Cleveland Cavaliers need to make: 4. Extend Caris LeVert

Since his arrival from the Indiana Pacers via trade, Caris LeVert has been solid. However, he has not had the same level of production that he displayed during his time with the Pacers and the Brooklyn Nets prior to that.

Part of the reason for this is the level of depth and also the game style of the Cavaliers. They have a front line of Allen, Lauri Markkanen, and Evan Mobley which they deployed with great success when they were all able to take the court.

Given that LeVert only played 19 games for the maroon and gold, the fact that he was able to develop the chemistry with his teammates that he did is impressive. The Cavaliers will look to use him off the bench next season.

The only spanner in the works here is that Sexton is out of contract. The Cavaliers will want to sign him but the insurance of extending LeVert gives them a starting-caliber guard for the next few years. Assuming they don’t suffer the same level of injuries as last season, this move solidifies the Cavaliers as an Eastern Conference contender.
