With expectations unmet, the front office is already exploring changes to strengthen the roster.

According to NBA writer Sam Amico, the Cavaliers have placed forwards Dean Wade and Isaac Okoro on the trade block, signaling potential roster shakeups.

Okoro, the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, has yet to develop into a consistent starter for Cleveland.

This past season, he averaged 6.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in roughly 19 minutes per game—solid, but not the breakout production the team had hoped for.

Dean Wade played a comparable role, logging around 21 minutes per game. He contributed 5.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per contest, serving primarily as a depth piece.

With both players now reportedly on the trade market, the Cavaliers appear poised to retool their supporting cast in pursuit of deeper postseason success.
