A few days after Lauri Markkanen, it’s Denzel Valentine’s turn to join the Cavaliers. The 14th pick in the 2016 Draft never really recovered from a big ankle surgery three years ago, and he’s coming out of a complicated season as a simple rotation on positions 2 and 3.
To revive himself, he therefore accepted a two-year contract with Cleveland, and according to the Plain Dealer, the first season is only partially guaranteed, and on the second, the leaders have the hand to keep it, or to make one. free agent in a year.
Rather complete back-winger, Denzel Valentine should logically recover playing time behind Collin Sexton and Isaac Okoro, and on paper, he will resume the role of Taurean Prince, transferred to Wolves this summer.
To make room for him, the Cavaliers cut shooter Damyean Dotson.
