The Cleveland Cavaliers have looked uninspired on both ends of the floor in recent weeks.
They are not playing to their potential, and their age can’t be the excuse for everything. Cleveland needs a makeover, particularly on the defensive end of the floor. Bringing in a versatile defender in Carroll could only help in that regard.
To be fair, a complete defensive makeover puts it kindly. The Cavs are only 0.2 points per 100 possession shy of having the league’s worst defensive rating. Although they haven’t shown any true interest in Carroll, the Cavs have called about Kent Bazemore, a player with a skill set similar to Carroll’s.
