After giving up Rubio and multiple draft picks, the Cavaliers traded LeVert from the Pacers. After completing this transaction, the Cavaliers have also been greatly replenished in terms of outside firepower and even overall strength.
Although Le Vere is a player with limited fame, the shooting guard who was sent away by the Nets in last season's Harden trade is still good.
This season, Le Vere can still average 18.7 points per game after early rumors of trade, shooting 44.7%, basically maintaining the level of last season. Last season, he averaged 20.7 points per game and shot 44.3 percent from the field.
This is the third consecutive season he has averaged at least 18.5 points per game. Even this season, if it is not for the shooting opportunities and playing time slightly lower than last season, he will continue to get 20+ per game.
As a 1.98m shooting guard, LeVert is a guard who can shoot and pass, his skills are not top-notch, at least not the level of stars, but he can still bring enough firepower support to civilian teams like the Cavaliers.
In his final game for the Pacers, LeVert also exploded with 42 points, five rebounds and eight assists against the second-place Bulls in the East, making him much better than DeRozan (31 points). There is also such a personal play in the face of strong opponents, and it is the performance of 19 of 26 shots and 73.1% shooting rate in the sports battle, which is enough to show that Le Ver's ability cannot be underestimated.
The Cavaliers are a team that lacks outside firepower. This season, the Cavaliers' defense has improved significantly, which has contributed to their progress, but on the outside, they only have Garland, who averaged 19.8 points per game, and Sexton, who only played 11 games to reimburse the season, and the rest of the outside, only Osman, who averaged 10.9 points per game, still has a certain ability to hold the ball.
Garland, as a small defender with a height of 1.85 meters, has limited destructive power and impact on the offensive end. Osman is still more of a substitute, supplementing the team's second team. Now, the addition of Le Vere can not only improve the height of the Cavaliers' backcourt, but also help in the attack with the ball. Given that Le Vere can play without the ball and carry the ball, averaging 18.5 points per game last season at Durant and Irving's side, there is no need to worry too much about whether Le Vere can integrate into civilian teams like the Cavaliers.
At present, the Cavaliers have rushed to the 4th place in the East, just one win away from the Heat, who are no. 1 in the East. With the Eastern Conference already overshadowed this season, the Cavaliers who got LeVert also had the opportunity to disrupt the First Place in the East, just like the Bulls before them. After years of depression since James left the team, the Cavaliers have finally rebounded strongly this season.
