Dean Wade Rumors

From everything that I've heard the Cavs have had discussions about Dean Wade and do they want to see if they they can use him and something else to see if they can get assets back, different kinds of assets back, or different kinds of players back in return? So I think they're trying to figure out what is possible for us. And if we move off of Isaac Okoro’s money if we move off Dean Wade's money, does that make it easier to justify a Ty Jerome contract? Does that make it easier to justify a Sam Merrill contract?

Allen was reluctant to discuss his injury when he was approached in the locker room following the game. The affable Allen, who did not have a wrap on his hand, did offer that he may have gotten hurt while trying to block a shot in the first quarter. "He's fine," chimed in All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, who scored 27 points in 26 minutes. Allen's injury comes just as the East-leading Cavs were getting back to full strength. Forward Dean Wade returned against the Knicks after missing several weeks with a bone bruise in his knee, and forward Isaac Okoro came back Thursday after being sidelined since Jan. 16 with a shoulder strain.

Danny Cunningham: #Cavs have listed Dean Wade as probable to play tonight against New York. No other members of the rotation are on the injury report. All signs point to the Cavs being fully healthy for just the second time this season and first time since trading for De’Andre Hunter.

Chris Fedor: #Cavs Ty Jerome (calf) and Isaac Okoro (shoulder) both here in Brooklyn going thru shootaround this morning. Same with Dean Wade who has already been ruled out.

Chris Fedor: Hearing there is a strong chance that Dean will actually be held out one more game since it's a Thursday-Friday back-to-back and they don't want him to play both games immediately after such a long layoff. Practice today. Let body recover tomorrow. Play Friday.

The Cavs have $190 million committed to five players — the core four of Mitchell, Mobley, Allen and Darius Garland, plus Jaylon Tyson — in 2027-28 on a projected second apron of $251.4 million. By then, all complementary players such as Hunter, Max Strus, Dean Wade and Isaac Okoro will no longer be under contract. Should the Cavs fight to retain their four biggest players, they will effectively need to rebuild the entire roster around them. That’s where scouting and development become so crucial.
