The Cleveland Cavaliers started the season in an unexpectedly great way. Many analysts expected the Cavs to be in the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but they are currently 9-8 and they have the Rookie of the Year frontrunner in Evan Mobley. However, a huge setback hit them in the midst of this good start. […]

After a relatively impressive start for the Cleveland Cavaliers early in the season, Kevin Love was forced to the sidelines yet again. Unlike what we’ve all gotten used to over the past few years, however, it wasn’t another injury that sidetracked Love’s strong start. The five-time All-Star fell victim to the COVID-19 virus and unfortunately […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers just took down Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics in a 91-89 come-from-behind victory on Saturday night. Cleveland is now 9-5 on the season and is off to its best start since the 2016-17 season. It’s safe to say nobody really saw this Cavaliers resurgence coming. But with the way they have […]

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee and does not have a timetable to return yet. The 22-year-old sustained the injury while banging knees with Jarrett Allen in the second quarter of their huge Sunday night win over the New York Knicks. Sexton will undergo further tests and evaluations […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are off to a noteworthy start to their 2021-22 campaign. Similar to their early-season performance from 2020-21, the young Cavs have been able to collect wins against playoff-caliber teams in the Atlanta Hawks, Denver Nuggets, and L.A. Clippers. This campaign, Jarrett Allen, a midseason acquisition last season, has been brilliant. He is […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers got off to a slow start to the 2021-22 season with a 1-2 record. They lost their opening game against the Memphis Grizzlies on a 132-121 defeat followed by another loss to the Charlotte Hornets on a 123-112 outcome. On Saturday night, the team managed to bounce back on their third outing […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers enter this 2021-22 NBA season with grand ambitions as they set their primary target on landing a spot in the postseason. Cleveland has yet to make the playoffs since LeBron James went to Hollywood. It has been a rough transition so far, but with a new season on the horizon, the Cavaliers […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are entering this 2021-22 NBA season with a lot of optimism. They have an an eye towards finally making a return to the playoffs following LeBron James’ second departure from the team back in 2018. Cleveland had a promising offseason that saw them take USC Trojans big man Evan Mobley with the […]

It’s official. The Cleveland Cavaliers got USC’s Evan Mobley as their third pick. This is another major step in the rebuilding process. Mobley is their third consecutive pick that fell within the top five. This makes the Wine and Gold a really young roster who have a lot of lessons to absorb. In the league […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have the third overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Once again, they have a chance to beef up their roster through the draft. Among the prospects available, Evan Mobley seems to stand out the most. In his lone year with USC, the big man showed off his size, mobility, and inherent […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers once again have been blessed by the lottery gods. The Cavs have the third pick in the 2021 NBA draft, which marks the fourth time in the last five years they have a pick in the top 10. Give or take two to three seasons, the Wine and Gold should return to […]

A bit of good fortune was dropped onto the lap of the Cleveland Cavaliers during the NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday night. As has been the case in past lottery drawings, the Cavaliers were able to leapfrog ahead of the projected odds and land the No. 3 pick this time around for the 2021 NBA […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers once again ended another season as one of the bottom feeders of the league. Safe to say the second post-LeBron era hasn’t panned out just yet. The good thing about the Cavaliers is that they’ve gone a good job accumulating great prospects from the draft. Amid the Cavaliers’ mediocre season, the likes […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in the midst of a three-year rebuild that’s going nowhere, and now they’ve hit an impasse: the team has lost the Eastern Conference rebuilding race. Every year there has been something for the Cavs to be optimistic about, whether it be the growth of a particular player, new arrival, or some […]

With their loss to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night, the 2020-2021 NBA season is all but over for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are currently 20-36 with 16 games remaining, which puts them 13th in the Eastern Conference. The league’s new play-in mini-tournament has kept the Cavs in the playoff hunt this long, as […]

The NBA trade deadline is just hours away, and while the rumor mill surrounding both Andre Drummond and JaVale McGee is heating up, the New Orleans Pelicans have reportedly put point guard Lonzo Ball on the trade block, with some strings attached. If he’s truly available, should the Cleveland Cavaliers make a move for the […]

The 2021 NBA trade deadline is looming large. The Cleveland Cavaliers have made significant moves at the deadline each season dating back to LeBron James’ return in 2014-15, save the 2016-17 campaign. This year, the team has two veteran big men who could be of interest to other organizations, so it should be another eventful […]

With the NBA trade deadline fast approaching, the Cleveland Cavaliers have approximately one week to trade center Andre Drummond. There have been plenty of teams with rumored interest, including the Boston Celtics, who are in the midst of an extremely disappointing, treading water as the sixth seed at 20-19, just a game-and-a-half from being out […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers finally returned to action Friday night against the New Orleans Pelicans, and while that game was extremely forgettable, the rest of the season should be interesting. Both Kevin Love and Larry Nance Jr. are back from extended absences, and Darius Garland and Taurean Prince shouldn’t be too far behind them. Cleveland is […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a little over a month to find a trade partner for Andre Drummond. His trade market is surprisingly active, with a reported 8-10 teams showing interest. One of those teams is the Miami Heat, who made the NBA Finals last season but are currently 11-17 and the 11th seed in the […]

The Andre Drummond era is officially over in Cleveland. After sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers due to “rest”, reports suggest that Drummond has played his final game with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs are actively searching for a trade partner, and while that process continues, Drummond will not be active. Cavaliers […]

Injuries have been commonplace for the Cleveland Cavaliers to this point in the 2020-2021 regular season, and the team was dealt another major blow this past week as Larry Nance Jr. underwent surgery for a fractured finger that will sideline him for up to six weeks. Losing Nance’s all-around game hurts, and it doesn’t help […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have passed the quarter point of the 2020-2021 NBA season, and sit at 10-11 through 21 games, owning the seventh playoff seed in the Eastern Conference. The season has been quite eventful this far for the Cavs, and there is plenty more to come. Here are five takeaways from the team’s first […]

Collin Sexton returned to play in the way we all expect an injured player to: dropping 42 points in a double overtime victory. Okay, that’s not typical, rather it’s extraordinary. Furthermore, that explosion for the Cavs came against a Brooklyn Nets team debuting its new big three of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving. […]

Koby Altman became general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers on July 24, 2017, and didn’t exactly step into a great situation. His first order of business was to trade disgruntled point guard Kyrie Irving while attempting to both “improve” (or at least mitigate the damage) the team for that season and stock up on assets […]

The NBA trade deadline isn’t until late March, but the Cleveland Cavaliers have already made a blockbuster trade. The Brooklyn Nets acquired superstar James Harden from the Houston Rockets (without giving up Kyrie Irving) in a massive four-team deal that included the Cavs as facilitators. Cleveland landed 22-year-old center Jarrett Allen and veteran wing Taurean […]

The Atlanta Hawks are in the midst of a three-game losing streak, and the locker room isn’t in the greatest shape. Forward John Collins is unhappy with point guard Trae Young dominating the offense, and it seems that Collins will soon be playing elsewhere, as he reportedly rejected a $90 million extension from the team […]

Sacramento Kings big man Marvin Bagley III is mixed up in trade rumors as a result of his father’s social media activity. Bagley Jr. is looking like LaVar Ball turned up to 11, and while some of the history between him and former head coach Frank Joerger is hilarious, the situation is becoming a distraction […]

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton has received more than his fair share of criticism since entering the NBA in 2018, but much like a certain Cleveland Browns quarterback, Sexton has been able to prove his doubters wrong to this point. The Cavs are 4-2 thanks to his All-Star level play, but his performance this season […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ three-game winning streak to tip off the 2020-2021 NBA season was fun, but the past two games have brought everyone back to reality. It turns out that the Cavs aren’t actually legitimate NBA Finals contenders, and are closer to another top-five draft pick than they are the eighth playoff seed in the […]

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton is getting plenty of praise for his start to the 2020-2021 NBA season, and rightfully so; he’s averaging 27 points per game through three contests, and has lead the Cavs to a 3-0 record out of the gates. However, second-year point guard Darius Garland has also been playing very well, […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers tipped off the 2020-2021 NBA regular season with a 121-114 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. It was a great return to the court for a team that hadn’t played since March, and even missing some key pieces, the group showed some real promise. It’s important to remember that the Hornets are one […]

The New York Knicks recently waived wing Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. For a team in need of wing depth and defense, does MKG make any sense for the Cleveland Cavaliers? Kidd-Gilchrist was the second overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Charlott Hornets, and spent seven-and-a-half seasons with the franchise before being waived in February […]

Next up in this series of previews for the Cleveland Cavaliers is big man Andre Drummond, a two-time All-Star and three-time rebounding champ. Drummond may be a key part of the team as currently situated, but he’s almost certain to be traded by the March 25th deadline. Drummond spent the first seven-and-a-half seasons of his career with the […]

Next up in this series of previews for the Cleveland Cavaliers is power forward Kevin Love, the elder statesman of the team and longest-tenured Cavalier. Entering the second season of his four-year, $120 million contract with the Cavs, trade rumors continue to swirl around Love, whether they are realistic or not. It’s hard to believe, but Love is […]

Sixth-year forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson was waived by the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, just over two weeks after being signed. The Cleveland Cavaliers have a dearth of young frontcourt talent, so should the team take a look at the former first-round pick? Hollis-Jefferson was originally selected 23rd overall by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2015 […]

Next up in this series of previews for the Cleveland Cavaliers is fourth-year wing Cedi Osman. The 25-year-old swingman looked terrific during the preseason and is hoping to hold on to his starting job, despite strong competition from rookie Isaac Okoro. Osman has been with the Cavs since the 2015 NBA Draft, debuting in 2017-2018 after coming […]

The NBA regular season is almost here, and next up in this series of previews for the Cleveland Cavaliers is “rookie” wing Dylan Windler, who missed all of 2019-20 with a stress reaction in his left leg and is eager to finally make an impact for the Cavs. Windler was the 26th overall selection in the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers enter the 2020-2021 NBA season with lots of question marks about the team’s future, along with some talented young players who are eager to prove themselves. The rebuild is still in full effect, but it’s time to start showing results. Here are three goals the Cavs should shoot for this season. 3. […]
