The Cleveland Cavaliers are still in need of a wing and Bojan Bogdanovic could be the team's answer.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff has weathered many storms this season. In just 39 games, there have been 17 different starting lineups, ...

Evan probably doesn’t get the usage that Anthony was forced into, and so that’s a different role, and it probably puts more pressure when you start comparing him to AD and Giannis and those guys.” “We chatted about my times in New Orleans because of Evan and the comparisons of him and Anthony Davis,” Williams said. Because of his slim, versatile stature, the 6-foot-11, 215-pound Mobley has drawn comparisons to the NBA’s most elite athletes like Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis. “Neto came into the game and changed the game with his defensive intensity fullcourt,” Williams said. Inside the paint, Allen and Mobley reign. A slew of injuries have forced Bickerstaff to mingle with different matchups and lineup combinations. He has played 53 minutes in that span. “The guys have embraced it,” Bickerstaff said after the win.

Probably knew he was going to be coaching by the time he was in a pacifier. The young core of Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen have certainly turned the franchise around, but Bickerstaff has been the glue to help push Cleveland into an accelerated rebuild. They have claimed the title of the league’s toughest defense for weeks.

Mobley's 14-foot jumper with four seconds left – off an assist from Donovan Mitchell — helped the Cleveland Cavaliers rally for a 90-88 victory Wednesday night ...

“We're just waiting for the breakthrough,” he said. That's what I keep telling the guys, 'keep pushing.” The guys are hurting after a game like that we should have won.” He has never missed a game as a pro or at Villanova. The Suns had a chance to tie it, but Mikal Bridges missed a jumper in the final second. Suns: Booker has missed five straight games since reinjuring the groin Dec. We keep plugging away and that has been our mentality from the jump. “I really didn't have my legs tonight,” he said. “It’s been that kind of trip," Suns coach Monty Williams said. Chris Paul scored 25 points and Deandre Ayton added 15 points and 18 rebounds for Phoenix, which went just 1-5 on a trip and dropped to 4-12 since Dec. Mitchell finished with just 20 points two nights after scoring 71 – the seventh player in league history to score at least seven. The Suns have struggled without injured All-NBA guard Devin Booker, out with a groin strain.

The Cleveland Cavaliers may be a trade suitor for Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic, but the price may be too high for the Cavs to pay.

“Saddiq Bey would be another interesting addition for Cleveland and on a similar timeline as the rest of the team’s core pieces, yet the same cost issues will apply in that approach as well.” “Are any of them the talented young player Detroit is partly searching for to offload Bojan Bogdanovic?

The Cleveland Cavaliers had a terrible shooting night but somehow survived the Phoenix Suns, who are trending downward after a hot start.

Kevin Love went 0-6](https://factoryofsadness.co/2023/01/03/kevin-love-continues-to-move-up-the-all-time-list-for-the-cleveland-cavaliers/) from three, and Caris LeVert was an offensive maestro but a defensive nightmare. And the game just didn’t make sense. The Phoenix Suns are not. They’re 8-3 in their last 11 and while the Cavs have struggled as of late on the perimeter, they’re a good team.
