The Cleveland Cavaliers are making headlines this offseason after a strong 2024-25 campaign, finishing with a remarkable 64-18 record. Despite not advancing far in the playoffs, the team is pushing to fortify its roster for the upcoming season. Recent moves include acquiring Lonzo Ball from the Chicago Bulls and extending Sam Merrill's contract for four years at $38 million. Merrill, the 60th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, has shown flashes of potential, including a standout 27-point game against the Dallas Mavericks. Still, many fans are divided, with some labeling the contract an 'overpay' for a player who averaged just 7.2 points and 1.5 assists last season.
