Isaac Okoro seems to be leaning towards a return to the Cavs under the qualifying offer.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In the world of sports, sometimes there’s nothing better to do than bet on yourself. Isaac Okoro is leaning in that direction.
There have been murmurs of a sign-and-trade deal with Okoro being the main piece with the Brooklyn Nets, but even those talks have stalled. On Thursday afternoon, reports indicated that the Nets might delay trade discussions for Dorian Finney-Smith and Cameron Johnson, two long-time Cavs targets, until the February deadline.The Cavs stand to gain more from trading Okoro this season than allowing him to walk after this season with no gain in return. But their options to improve are limited.
Sure, other players meet the pedigree the Cavs are looking for, but Johnson is ideal. His 3-point and defensive numbers are slightly better than Hunter’s at the same height. Even in the world of baseball, when Aaron Judge turned down the Yankees’ original offer during spring training in 2022 and went on to win American League MVP and test the waters of free agency. He ultimately signed a nine-year, $360 million deal, giving the slugger nearly $150 million more than the team had offered him in the spring.After being drafted fifth overall in the 2020 NBA Draft, Okoro has watched his classmates earn lucrative contracts while he’s waited for payday.
