The Cleveland Cavaliers front office, led by Koby Altman, has received mixed grades for the 2023-2024 season. While they made key moves to reshape the roster at the deadline, they also faced criticism for missteps over the past few years. The team traded Isaac Okoro for Lonzo Ball, re-signed Sam Merrill, and signed Thomas Bryant, but the acquisition of Ball did not live up to expectations due to injuries. The team also traded De'Andre Hunter for Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis, but Hunter's performance was disappointing. The Cavaliers made the wrong bet on Hunter at the previous deadline, and he did not solve the team's ongoing issue at the wing. The team has fewer assets and is at risk of losing Dean Wade, their only truly capable wing defender, in free agency. The Cavaliers have limited avenues to improve on the wing outside of trading a member of the core four or hoping LeBron James decides to come home in free agency for less money than he's worth.
