Sneaky good move incoming... Report Reveals Cavs next move

The Cleveland Cavaliers are eyeing their next move to fill out their final roster spots And it is a sneaky good one It is a player that I talked about a little bit ago on this channel as the Cavs were linked to him But it seems like the Cleveland Cavaliers acquiring this player is actually starting to look more and more official as the days come by I am at Plan G here with Cavs Digest just showed you a couple clips of the player We're gonna talk about him as the first time I talked about him I thought it was all speculation and I didn't really think maybe the Cavs were just looking at him if they couldn't get Peyton Watson But they still got Peyton Watson. They still could also be getting this guy to fill out their roster We're gonna talk about the bad the good the ugly the great all that good stuff here on Cavs Digest Let's dive straight into the news So the first report we have here sleeper Cavs Sports Illustrated now Report the Cavs are pursuing Bruce Brown to fill their final roster spot for Sports Illustrated now So I mentioned a video I think was a couple weeks ago where the Cavs were Apparently linked to Bruce Brown or were interested in Bruce Brown and that was it and I honestly thought I couldn't spin Oh, maybe they should get Bruce Brown or maybe they just said hey Bruce I wouldn't be bad, but it actually seems like we have multiple sources telling us that the Cavs are genuinely I'm Bruce Brown So we're gonna talk about him today. Just kind of dive into What he can bring to the Cleveland Cavaliers if it's even worth assigning or if the captured aim to fill in their roster Elsewhere, let's dive into it. Let's first off I start off by just breaking down his stats kind of doing you know what we'd like to do on this channel Just talk about the player his true impact what he can bring to the Cavaliers Of course keep this in mind Bruce Brown would come to this team on a pretty cheap deal I just wanna make that very very very clear Very very clear the first one He's a guard We already know how we feel about that, right? The Cavs don't really need any more guards in my opinion But now that they don't actually have Schroeder when you think about it adding a backup point guard that has veteran Championship pedigree and playoff experience wouldn't be that bad and I'll explain why So the Cavs got rid of shooters crappy contract in this offseason in a trade to the Hornets for training man Now the Cavs are kind of just looking at what they can do If you kind of actually look at their guards their backup point guard and pretty sure is like it's Tyrese Proctor the backup shooting guard is Sam Merrill and Malik Thomas, those are kind of their guards right now. Okay You think about it? I'm like, okay. I love Tyrese Proctor. I think him and Thomas should get playing time Of course, I do like Merrill. Well, what Bruce Brown brings is something that you actually don't have on the Cavs. You have an aggressive Bulkier guard who is pretty solid on defense and isn't gonna turn over the ball that often now I do think that one turnover to two assists He's not actually a primary ball handler that much and that's something that he does lack the guard spot So before I dive into everything, let me talk about the good the first good You don't have a veteran guard on your bench that has Good that has proved himself yet I mean Tyrese Proctor is young, Malik Thomas is young and Sam Merrill is a shooting guard more than a point guard So is Bruce Brown really but they just have completely different play styles. They're good. He's super athletic I showed you his post. I showed you two dunks from him. Let me show you this one The guys look at this if you remember this in the playoffs where he dunked over Lonnie Walker and Anthony Davis that was disgusting He's super athletic The Cavs actually don't have an athletic. Well, they do but they've never really had like that slashing type of guard They had it with Lonzo or they tried it with Lonzo. I guess Alonzo's pass first. They always have Donovan Mitchell who does it but Bruce Brown super athletic. He can also stretch out the 40 is a 30. What is that 38% three-point shooter last year? He won a championship in Denver where he was really really good in the playoff run and So he is a pretty efficient shooter eight points on okay splits He's a little older now than he used to be. Of course. What is that 30? What does that say 30? I guess it's 30 years old. I think he's 30 something. I don't know exactly 35. Maybe he's 35. I guess No, he's 30. Okay. Yeah, he's 30 years old. I Years old so he isn't that old he's actually in a prime age of basketball primes I'm pretty sure over the course of the NBA history Prime age of a player is 27 31 or it's probably gone down now that a lot of young guys But Bruce Brown at the age of 30 has a lot of time still he has been traded a lot He played in what Toronto, Indiana? He played in Brooklyn with James Harden. That's also something to keep in mind It does have chemistry with Harden a little bit. I played at Denver Toronto, Indiana, Brooklyn That's all the teams. I was on my head much of that was all of them But so he does have experience on multiple different rosters and multiple different systems, which is something that we had value here as well He is gonna play differently to Dennis Schroeder he's not gonna be a primary ball handler as much as he is gonna be a secondary ball handler and be able to kind of sin the corner and hit a couple shots or Go off of a backdoor cut in slash and he's also gonna crash the glass more So he's gonna be a different play style at the guard that we don't see often from the Cavs He plays like a small forward and a shooting guard Let's talk about the bad. He's six foot four He Doesn't shoot that much Another good. He's a good defender. He actually is a good defender He's kind of a drama queen. He likes a getting arguments. He likes to cause a little bit of drama on the court I've seen a fight with that book or if I would come to rant. I'm a lot of stuff I also saw him pluck Kevin Durant in that video that shows you guys highlight video but There's a little bit of his game that you know You want that you're gonna have to find a spot for because the Cavs do need more big men depth I think using this last roster spot on a guy like Kevin love Daniel gaffer something like that I obviously if Jalen Duran was available, but it's not so I think using it on a center Kelly Olenek would be like Because you can shoot and you can shot block shots, but he's older now. So the Cavs probably want to use that rush spot a big man But I like Bruce Brown And I feel very very confident. That's who they are going through side. Let's look at what Terry Pluto had to say about it He was another source that said oh, I heard that they were linked to Bruce Brown as well He said quote Brown is in play as an addition via free agency bringing playoff experience Versatility and playmaking with one roster spot open Brown could be a strong fit. I Think because the Cavs Historically are pretty At developing young guys or Kay Atkinson has been I mean not playing doctor not playing Tyson not playing I'm Lee Thomas is probably gonna be fine. But this is a couple situations where I'm like dang, you know Like some of these young guys could have got work on my baits with Travers all that good stuff Craig Porter, of course just rocks there and Craig Porter is technically the backup point guard as well as Tyrese Proctor But I've seen Craig Porter playing up and there they don't like playing him enough anyways So, I really don't know what to do with Craig Porter honestly at all So I think that we're just gonna sit here and kind of chill on the back of guard spot Probably they're probably gonna let Thomas kind of just dominate in the G League for a while and kind of just develop his game down there Of course, that's not what I want But I think that is what the Cavs are gonna look to do when it comes to Bruce Brown and he said you get versatility playmaking experience So I do think you're going to get a lot from him But of course the biggest downside is that you are guard heavy team and your backup centers Thomas Brian who I think is good Especially for a bad minimum, but the Cavs just didn't trust him enough. So I think trying to add a guy Trying to add a big man trying to add some big man depth would probably benefit the Cavs a little bit more But Bruce Brown is a more unique guard. It's not like you're going out there and getting Lonzo or getting true You're getting a guard that plays differently to those guys So the synergy might be a little bit better on the Cavaliers, but that's just my personal opinion He's gonna be a cheap contract I'm very very certain of that because he has a free agent and I don't think the Cavs are gonna want to pay him more than 6 million dollars a year So let me know in the comments below what you guys think about Bruce Brown Should the Cavs go after him should the Cavs try to go for big men depth or do you guys like Bruce Brown? I don't know Let me know in the comments below what you guys think make sure you guys subscribe A lot of you guys that watch these videos are not subbed which means you're missing out on all of the daily Cavs content I'm Matt Flanagy and thank you all so much for joining me here on Cavs Digest
