Which Two-Way To Convert: Emoni Bates, Luke Travers, or JT Thor?
The Cleveland Cavaliers have 3 players currently signed to two-way contracts, Emoni Bates, Luke Travers and JT Thor. As of right now, Cleveland has 13 roster players. They must sign a 14th in the next week or so to be able to meet the NBA’s requirement of 14.
That will leave one roster open, a spot that has generally been reserved for converting a two way player. Over the years we have seen the likes of Lamar Stevens, Dean Wade, and Craig Porter Jr converted. Of this current group of two ways who makes the most sense to convert right now?
Emoni Bates, Luke Travers or JT Thor, let’s discuss that.

I like Emoni bates but I think jt Thor is ready
Well, the Cavs were interested in Ben Simmons before he went to LA so I think Travers kind of fits that tall playmaker build, plus I think Travers 3 ball will develop especially in this offense. Dean is supposed to be back after the break so chances might be limited, but I could definitely see Travers being the next man up.
Thor's the answer. Pretty easily. He can play a role now with his defensive versatility.
TOMLIN
Luke
Convert Luke on a small long term deal. Sign a vet backup center
Seems like Travers got more rotation minutes when guys are injured.
I think Emoni isn’t efficient because his job is to just shoot 3s in the G 🤷🏾♂️, one thing i like about how they use the G to develop skills, I definitely see them trying to make emoni a taller Sam Merrill
Luke Travers need to go back to the G League he was turning the ball over alot the last time he was playing.
I like mony mony he’s fun
Cut Tristan Thompsjon so I can have Travers AND Thor. TT ain't even a good vet to drag artound..
Nice video. Thor fo shore
I think Emoni worked hard to put the weight on and he'll shine with better talent. Traverse i liked better last year. This year hes shown me absolutely less than nothing constantly missing shots and losing the ball out of bounds. I started laughing hilariously when the narrator mentioned his quality ball-handling. Thor u bring if u really need the size.
Hope Bates gets a full contract next season.
Every time ive seen Thor he looked great imo, the best of the 3
The lack of a third big is the last roster hole. Ideally, it should be filled by Larry Nance Jr on a buyout. Failing that, it should be Thor.
Thor deserves it
Emoni Bates. He has been the most consistent over these past two years. Convert him.
Bates
Thor has skills
Thor
If Bates don't get a full contract next season he gone go somewhere else and kill and we gone look silly remember I said this let's go Bates 💪💯
I hope it’s bates tht boi been grinding both games inna g 30+ points , he’s healthy we can also see how much of a good teammate he is to them n how he supports the team , he still young only 21
I like Travers
E-Money is gonna get cut before he see's meaningful minutes. Hurts me to say it as well.
The sad thing is that this is probably the last time for a while that the Cavs will be able to sign a young player to a multi-year contract. They’ll be a second apron team starting next season and will no longer have a MLE, which is how they’ve been able to sign Wade, Merrill, and CPJ to multi-year deals.
