Porter's story of becoming an undrafted free agent, signing a four-year contract extension, and being considered a valued asset in trade talks is inspiring for any player entering the draft this season. As it pertains to the Cavaliers right now , holding on to Porter and still landing Hunter is a massive win.

No team with legitimate title hopes helped themselves more than the Cavs, who upgraded at wing, got under the tax and stabilized the roster.

The Cleveland Cavaliers made some moves before the trade deadline, acquiring De’Andre Hunter from the Atlanta Hawks for Caris LeVert and Georges Niang. It was a solid pickup for the Cavs, as Hunter is the frontrunner for Sixth Man of the Year and his improved play helped the Hawks this season.
