Porter's story of becoming an undrafted free agent, signing a four-year contract extension, and being considered a valued asset in trade talks is inspiring for any player entering the draft this season. As it pertains to the Cavaliers right now , holding on to Porter and still landing Hunter is a massive win.

The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t need to make a lot of moves at the trade deadline. However, they made sure to address the biggest need they had. They moved on from Caris LeVert and his expiring contract and Georges Niang to get De’Andre Hunter.

Almost every day for the last six years, Ty Jerome and D'Andre Hunter facetiously discussed the possibility of playing together — just like the old college days. It’s not a joke anymore.
