Cavaliers, Ricky Rubio Discussing Buyout

According to Shams Charania and Joe Vardon of The Athletic, the veteran guard Ricky Rubio and the Cleveland Cavaliers have begun talking about a potential buyout from his contract with the organization.

This comes after he has been on leave in Spain to tend to his mental health issues; the issues are so massive that he may never play basketball again. It’s not even expected he finishes this season.

Cleveland signed Rubio to a three-year, $18.5 million deal in the summer of 2022. The organization signed him while he was nursing a torn ACL.

According to the Cleveland Cavaliers, confirmed by multiple reports, Max Strus has suffered a right ankle sprain and will be out for the next six weeks.

The injury occurred during an individual workout this past Thursday.

While it is devastating that Strus is out, a door may open for rookie Jaylon Tyson, who has been impressive since the Summer League, to get some playing time.

Isaac Okoro and Caris LeVert will definitely see an increase in minutes due to this injury.

In his first season with Cleveland, Strus played in 70 games, averaging 12.2 points (career-high), 4.8 rebounds (career-high), 4.0 assists (career-high), and 0.9 steals (career-high).

The talented wing is 28 years of age.

Multiple Teams Interested In Trading For Isaac Okoro

According to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto, the Charlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets are interested in trading for Isaac Okoro.

Okoro signed a three-year, $38 million extension with Cleveland on September 14th for those who don’t remember. That’s important to note because Charlotte and Brooklyn were both interested in him before the deal was even signed.

Now that it is signed, it can be an official sign-and-trade for the 23-year-old wing.

Both teams need an energetic, athletic wing player to complement their roster. Last season, Okoro averaged 9.4 points off 49.0% from the field and 39.1% from deep.
