Every NBA Team's Top 3 Targets In 2024 Free Agency | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

1. Royce O'Neale

Depending on what they do with restricted free agent Isaac Okoro, the Cleveland Cavaliers could very well be in the luxury tax in 2024-25, which would limit them to the taxpayer's mid-level ($5.2 million).

That probably wouldn't be a huge issue, though. Cleveland has been one of the hottest teams in the league for over month, and it has its four best players (Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley and Darius Garland) under contract for 2024-25.

Now, it's about tweaking or complementary moves, and O'Neale fits that bill. Mitchell's 30-year-old former teammate will guard multiple positions, move the ball a little bit and hit open threes. He's a career 38.2 percent three-point shooter.

2. Luke Kennard (Team Option)

An Ohio high school legend, Kennard wouldn't check the defensive box that O'Neale does, but he's also a more reliable outside shooter. Though he hasn't been given an opportunity to do it much since he was a Detroit Piston, Kennard can run some offense, too.

3. Kelly Olynyk

Bleacher Report's Greg Swartz insists Cleveland fans haven't forgotten Olynyk injuring Kevin Love's shoulder during the 2015 postseason, but maybe seeing his unique combination of outside shooting, playmaking and flowing mane in the wine and gold would lead to reconciliation.

The Cavs could use a floor-spacing big to play with either of Allen or Mobley, and Olynyk has averaged 15.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.6 threes per 75 possessions while shooting 40.1 percent from deep since the start of last season.
