Pistons, Jazz Only Teams That Can Make Cavaliers’ Isaac Okoro ‘Meaningful Offer’

02/08/2024 Raymond 0

NBA analyst Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report highlights that the Detroit Pistons and Utah Jazz are uniquely positioned to make substantial offers to Cleveland Cavaliers wing Isaac Okoro, who is a restricted free agent. Despite a promising season where he shot 39.1 percent from three-point range and demonstrated strong defensive skills, Okoro remains unsigned over a month into the offseason. The Cavaliers, who drafted him fifth overall in the 2020 NBA Draft, have made several offers deemed fair by the organization, yet Okoro has not committed to any. This leaves his future with Cleveland uncertain, with only the Pistons and Jazz having the cap space to potentially secure his talents.

Thompson, a five-time All-Star, has averaged 17.9 points per game last season but is considering his options, with teams like the Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers showing interest. Signs suggest Thompson might be looking for a new start, as he has removed references to the Warriors from his social media and there have been hints of negotiation difficulties. Mike Dunleavy acknowledged the challenge of balancing business and personal relationships, emphasizing the need to find a role and financial arrangement that benefits both the franchise and Thompson.
