Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R.

The Cleveland Cavaliers brought back veteran big man Channing Frye, though they are not expecting him to put the team on his back and carry the Cavs to the NBA Finals just like LeBron James did last year. Instead, Frye was signed largely for his experience and credential as a locker room stabilizer. Kevin Love, […]

Collin Sexton showed out in the Las Vegas Summer League Tournament. Backing down from no one, he rose to First-Team and carried the Cavaliers to the […]

Poor J.R. Smith. It’s been several weeks since the Hennessy-chugging, shirt-hating, Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard became the basketball equivalent of Bill Buckner when he made one of the biggest blunders in the history of the NBA. And now, she’s being roasted at the ESPY’s by Danica Patrick, of all people. Can you believe that?  You […]

Cap space is not something that Cavaliers fans have been accustomed to recently. Since signing LeBron James and trading for Kevin Love in 2014, Cleveland has been over the salary cap.

Via his Twitter account, Gilbert said: Hell of a run by @CollinYoungBull and the the entire @Cavs Summer League squad. These guys repped the franchise and the city of […]

All things considered, the NBA Summer League is something that’s equivalent to a glorified bunch of exhibition games, only with more cameras rolling and journalists watching the action.

In lieu of Channing Frye’s return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kevin Love decided to have a little fun on social media, albeit at the expense of LeBron James’ now-famous “I’m Coming Home” letter from 2014.

Cavs fans have very little to […]

Tristan Thompson was drafted fourth overall in 2011, ahead of players like Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson, and Jimmy Butler.
