Should the Cavs call up Killian Hayes on a 10-day contract? Hey, Chris!
from Wine and Gold Talk Podcast · host cleveland.com - Advance Local
In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor examine the Cavaliers’ options as the trade deadline nears, including whether exploring the G League for short-term help is a signal of where the roster really stands. They break down the logic behind a potential 10-day look at Killian Hayes, what he could realistically provide, and what that says about Cleveland’s need for ball-handling and organization. The discussion expands to possible deadline approaches and how pieces such as Lonzo Ball, De’Andre Hunter and Dean Wade factor into trade conversations, and why the front office continues to project belief in the group despite uneven performances. The episode closes with a behind-the-scenes look at how criticism is handled between the team and those covering it as expectations continue to rise. Learn more about your ad choices.
