Is Cleveland's best starting small forward option already on the roster?

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, host Ethan Sands and Cavaliers beat reporter Chris Fedor examine whether Cleveland's best option at starting small forward is already on the roster. With trades for players such as Jonathan Kuminga, PJ Washington and Peyton Watson complicated by salary-cap restrictions, limited trade assets and the Cavaliers' depleted draft capital, the two discuss whether the organization is better off betting on internal growth instead of chasing an external upgrade. They debate the cases for Jaylon Tyson and Max Strus, explore what Tyson must prove to earn a starting role and examine how Cleveland can balance developing its young talent with the pressure to compete for a championship right now.
