A number of Cavaliers players will meet next week in Los Angeles for a voluntary mini-camp, according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com, who reports that All-Star guard Darius Garland and Rookie of the Year runner-up Evan Mobley are helping to organize the workouts.
Sources tell Fedor that the majority of Cavs players are expected to participate, though some of the team’s international players may not make it to L.A. due to overseas obligations, including to their national teams. That group includes Lauri Markkanen, Cedi Osman, and Raul Neto.
Collin Sexton also won’t be attending the mini-camp, since he’s still a restricted free agent and isn’t under contract with the Cavaliers, Fedor notes.
A number of clubs around the NBA hold voluntary offseason mini-camps to help improve team chemistry and to prepare for the season. As Fedor writes, LeBron James used to organize them during his Cleveland days, and handed off that responsibility to Kevin Love in recent years.
Love spoke at the end of the 2021/22 season about possibly holding a mini-camp in Austin or Nashville, according to Fedor, who says the possibility of player-led workouts taking place in Nashville next month remains on the table.
Young guys stepping up! I love it! This team is great!
I don’t know if the Cavs are great, yet. But, it is impressive that the young guys got together and organized this.
I didn’t mean great as in “top 5 in the league” I meant it as “they are awesome!”
Jarrett Allen ready for the next jump
This year
They should bring in Alonzo Gee just to walk the sidelines & show Isaac Okoro what he’s on his way to becoming if he doesn’t tighten his handle/shot up a lot more
Ms sister used to work with Alonzo gee st a Texas roadhouse.
lmao. That’s a good one. I wish the Cavs or Mobley himself would go and workout with Kevin Garnett. It’d be awesome if some of that “Dog”, “No plays off” ” I’m going to eat your first born child” type of mentality would rub off on him.
Any other fan upset the team hadn’t done anything to address the need for more offense this off season other than MAYBE the promise that Agbaji might provide?
I’m low key disappointed with the lack of moves they made. The East got much better and we kind of haven’t with the exception of Sexton coming back. Which in of itself should honestly be a big boost, but there are players I wish we could’ve targeted with our MLE such as Otto Porter, TJ Warren, Kyle Anderson. The first two would’ve solved our problem at SF, would’ve made Love expendable for a trade if we move Lauri to the bench. And Kyle would’ve been a nice defensive player who could manage the 2nd unit well enough and play well with Sexton.
We should definitely be more improved on offense with Sexton, development from Mobley, Lauri continuing his 2nd half performance and getting more comfortable with our offense.
