The Cleveland Cavaliers entered the 2023 offseason with plenty of disappointment after being eliminated in five games by the New York Knicks, but the organization was also determined to make some adjustments. While the Cavs did not make the biggest splash in free agency or on the trade market, they actively tried to address their […]

When the Cleveland Cavaliers signed Max Strus to a four-year, $64 million deal in free agency, they were adding one of the most well-versed players in the art of shooting on the move. Strus flourished in his role with the Miami Heat as someone who comes off screens, pindowns, and curls, helping stretch the defense […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers, fresh off a heartbreaking first-round exit at the hands of the New York Knicks, were one of the busiest teams on the free agent market. In their bid to improve over last year’s disappointing finish, the Cavs acquired the likes of Max Strus and Georges Niang to bolster the team’s depth across […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers made their fair share of moves to help bolster the roster in the 2023 NBA offseason. They drafted forward Emoni Bates with the No. 49 selection in the 2023 NBA Draft. They added forward Max Strus through a sign-and-trade that shipped forwards Lamar Stevens and Cedi Osman to San Antonio. Guard Caris […]

This year’s NBA Summer League featured a few much-needed stellar performances from the Cleveland Cavaliers’ two-way and non-guaranteed players.

Guard Sam Merrill hit 44.6% […]

There are many teams who learned a hard lesson before ultimately reaching the apex. LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers enjoyed a terrific run to the 2007 NBA Finals, but they received a rude awakening that their time had not yet arrived after being swept by the San Antonio Spurs. There is a lot that […]

NBA veteran Drew Gooden spent four seasons with LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the mid-2000s, but he knew even before then how great the Kid from Akron truly was.

PJ Washington remains a restricted free agent, but if he fails to reach an agreement with the Charlotte Hornets, the Cleveland Cavaliers could be interested in making a move for him. However, it’s worth noting that having “interest” doesn’t actually mean the Cavs will give him an offer sheet or try to pull off a […]

Jalen Brunson understands that his good friend Donovan Mitchell will constantly be linked to the New York Knicks until he signs an extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, Brunson is not thinking about it. When asked recently about the previous rumors that claim Mitchell could join the Knicks–his hometown team since he’s from New York–in […]

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert has been spending a lot of the offseason at his Los Angeles home and on August 1st, he threw a party that resulted in a very rare $93,000 watch getting stolen, as reported by TMZ.

Danny Green seemed set to make a big impact with the Cleveland Cavaliers once he signed with them after being bought out by the Houston Rockets shortly after getting traded there from the Memphis Grizzlies. Instead, he only played in just 12 total games for the Cavs in the second half of the regular season […]

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell has heard these comparisons before, so when discussing how he measures up to soon-to-be Hall of Fame wing Dwyane Wade, his answer is understandably nuanced. On one end of the spectrum is the inspiration he gets from Wade, a former NBA superstar that he studies under and whose resume he […]

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland is an incredibly gifted shot-creator, the best ball-handler to don the Wine and Gold since Kyrie Irving and a three-level scorer with a feathery soft touch and missile range. So good in fact that a number of notable NBA players have come out over the past few years to […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ trade for Donovan Mitchell last year helped cement the nascent Cavs as a legitimate playoff team with a dark-horse shot at winning the championship if everything breaks right.

There is no question that Donovan Mitchell is one of the best guards in the NBA. Mitchell, in addition to being an explosive three-level scorer, also contributes to winning at a high level, as he has not missed the playoffs yet since entering the league in 2017. But with the Cleveland Cavaliers fresh off a […]

Mental health matters, and in no way is this post meant to undermine the seriousness of whatever it is that Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ricky Rubio may be going through. Whether it’s a tangible personal matter, the fatigue that could come with playing and preparing for a sport for his entire life, the mental rigors […]

One of the biggest reasons behind the Cleveland Cavaliers’ emergence into a legitimate playoff contender during the 2022-23 season was the addition of Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell gave the Cavs a reliable scoring option on a nightly basis, forming a lethal backcourt with Darius Garland. In a season full of highs for both Mitchell and the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers made a concerted effort to surround their stars Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Evan Mobley with more shooting for the 2023-24 season. After all, the New York Knicks packed the paint during their 2023 playoff series, making it difficult for the Cavs to do much of anything on offense. Thus, in free […]

Darius Garland admitted that it took him a while to move past the Cleveland Cavaliers’ heart-wrenching defeat at the hands of the New York Knicks during the 2023 NBA playoffs.

The Cleveland Cavaliers may have failed to put up a good fight against the New York Knicks during the 2023 NBA playoffs, but Darius Garland vows that it won’t happen again.

When the Cleveland Cavaliers managed to land Larry Nance Jr. in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers back in 2018, the resultant fanfare was what one would expect for the son of a former franchise star that was born and raised in Ohio. In fact, in the three-plus seasons that he played for the […]

No matter where LeBron James plays, lives or goes, he and the Cleveland Cavaliers will forever be intertwined. So forgive former NBA center Brendan Haywood for reminiscing about a time when in, 2015, James proved himself to as a competitor altogether different from the one that media personalities such as Skip Bayless made him out […]

There are few more memorable NBA Finals series than when the Cleveland Cavaliers came all the way back from being 3-1 down against the Golden State Warriors to win the 2016 NBA championship after seven games.

The Cleveland Cavaliers deciding to roster former Northwestern and UNC standout Pete Nance during the 2023 Las Vegas Summer League was unsurprising given his family ties.
