Cleveland Cavaliers rookie forward Emoni Bates has had a whirlwind journey to the NBA, facing adversity after leaving high school as a highly touted high school prospect that not only led him from Memphis to Eastern Michigan but also began to sap his joy for the game. Fortunately, the Michigan native has been making himself […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers made multiple moves this offseason that should enable them to build off of their success last season, as they went 51-31, earning the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference and their first playoff berth without LeBron James on the roster in over 20 years. However, the best move that Cleveland made this […]

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland entered the NBA as one of its most skilled players out the gate. However, the 2023-24 season may be Garland’s best yet, as the 23-year-old continues to ascend after being selected 5th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. Though frankly overshadowed by Donovan Mitchell in 2022-23 with the four-time […]

The notion many fans have that veteran guard Austin Rivers is a bad player is curious, as Rivers has routinely made high-level plays and had eye-popping scoring outbursts in his career. With that said, if the Cleveland Cavaliers can look past the veil that seems to cast Rivers in a negative light, they should be […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers may not be done making moves just yet this offseason, as recent rumors suggest that a trade could be on the horizon that involves incumbent starting center Jarrett Allen. A 2022 NBA All-Star selection that’s impressive lob threat, rebounder and shot-blocker at his best, Allen’s biggest weakness is that he has underwhelming […]

The NBA free agency period is just around the corner and the Cleveland Cavaliers have been linked to several players in their effort to bolster their frontcourt.

To get straight to the point, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a few key needs as they head into the 2023 NBA offseason: a starting small forward with a reliable jumper; a productive and healthy backup point guard; an efficient stretch-four; and a physical backup center. Armed with $12.8 million in cap space, the $12.2 million […]

It’s no secret that the Cleveland Cavaliers weakest link in their starting lineup is at small forward. Caris LeVert was as inconsistent as his roles last season. Cedi Osman was as inconsistent as ever. Isaac Okoro remaining limited offensively. Dylan Windler continues to battle injuries. Dean Wade was underwhelming as the heir apparent to a […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are a work in progress and there’s no shame in that. Despite sizable expectations heading into the 2022-23 season after the acquisition of All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, the Cavs were unable to fully maximize their arsenal of talent, leading to an abrupt exit from the 2023 NBA Playoffs. Now, with enough time […]

To say the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ season wasn’t supposed to end like this is an understatement. Not just losing in the First Round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs but falling to the New York Knicks in five games despite entering the NBA Playoffs as the higher seed.

After initially being listed as questionable for their regular season finale against the Charlotte Hornets, Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen will play, per Cavs head coach J.B. Bickerstaff (h/t Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan). “Everybody that’s available will get a little burn,” says Bickerstaff. Cleveland will be resting their star backcourt of Donovan Mitchell […]

Whatever happens for the remainder of the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers must try to avoid a matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2023 NBA Playoffs at any cost. Cavs’ nightmare seeding scenario, matchup for 2023 NBA Playoffs Currently leading the Eastern Conference with a 52-20 record, the Bucks present a number of concerning matchups […]

For the first time since 1998, the Cleveland Cavaliers are ready to embark on a postseason journey that won’t be led by future Hall of Fame inductee LeBron James. Instead, the Cavs will enter the 2023 NBA Playoffs led by a dimer and detonator, respectively: Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell briefly hit a wall […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t the type of team to be boisterous even when confident. Nonetheless, if someone were to ask the Cavs front office who they believed they had the best chance of defeating in the first round of the upcoming NBA Playoffs, they would more than likely respond with the Brooklyn Nets. “No one […]

Miami Heat forward Kevin Love is a weird thing to say after the five-time All-Star spent nine seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Nonetheless, it’s the current reality, as Love reached a contract buyout with the Cavs last month and signed on with Miami after jumping ship. Love, who was struggling on both ends at 34-years-old, […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers got off to a hot start this season but while many may point to the excellent play of All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell as the primary factor in their initial success, Cavs center Jarrett Allen also notes that people outside of the organization underestimated them due to their lack of experience. Prior to […]

At 39-25, the Cleveland Cavaliers are poised to have their first playoff berth since 2018, when the LeBron James-led Cavaliers were swept by the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.

Fedor, a longtime Cavs insider, describes the current status of the relationship as “a byproduct of how […]

After a sizzling-hot start to the 2022-23 season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have gone cold with the season. The primary reason could simply be chalked up to Donovan Mitchell’s availability. The Cavs went 2-4 in 2023 in games that saw Darius Garland leading the backcourt by himself. This isn’t to say that the shifty point guard […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have completed their contract buyout with 15-year veteran Kevin Love, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. As Love looks for a new home, the Miami Heat have emerged as frontrunners. However, Wojnarowski reports that Love “plans to talk to the Philadelphia 76ers before making a decision.” The Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, and […]

Before he even played a full season’s worth of games for the Cleveland Cavaliers, seven-year pro Caris LeVert could have been on his way out of Ohio as the Cavs explored roster upgrades ahead of the trade deadline. While nobody doubts LeVert’s heart and his character alone makes fans want to believe in his potential, […]

Speaking with reporters in the aftermath of Thursday’s trade deadline, Cleveland Cavaliers president Koby Altman says that veteran forward Kevin Love isn’t expected to become a buyout candidate, according to ESPN’s Danny Cunningham.

After a hot start to the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers cooled off as All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell has come back to earth.

In his own words, Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals was “one of the most heartbreaking losses” of LeBron James’ career, per ESPN’s Zach Lowe. It was the fourth consecutive Finals matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors and James eighth consecutive trip to the NBA Finals, with the heralded superstar […]

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ricky Rubio missed more than 12 months with a torn ACL, so patience will be needed as the 32-year-old works himself back into game shape. Though he’s played in nine games since his return on Jan. 12, when he scored nine points in 10 minutes as the Cavs took down the […]

Cleveland Cavaliers second-year forward Cedi Osman has had an up-and-down season in his first year as a starter.

There was a time when trading for forward Carmelo Anthony to the Cleveland Cavaliers meant sending away five-time All-Star Kevin Love. There was also a time when Anthony’s signing with the Cavs would have been seen as little more than an attempt to appease former franchise cornerstone LeBron James. Yet, with Cleveland in a state […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have leaders — head coach Larry Drew, veteran center Tristan Thompson, All-Star forward Kevin Love, fan favorite Larry Nance Jr. — but do they have the leader that they need?

When the Cleveland Cavaliers selected the University of Alabama’s Collin Sexton with the eighth overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, they were aware that they weren’t getting the point guard with the best feel for the game, the best passing instincts or the best defensive potential.
