  • The Cavs have shot up the East standings the last month just when 2 of their top 5 players got injured. Now they are healthy and still winning but underneath the surface, something is off in Cleveland.

    The Narrative around the Cavs for the last two seasons is just honestly sickening. People need to realize it takes time to not only build an identity, but also a team capable of winning it all. Everyone is so impatient. Last year, first round exit and everyone says to blow it up? it was the FIRST YEAR with this squad, and now look what they are doing now. the league is wanting Mitchell to go to a bigger market to make more money. Mitchell has said a million times he is going to do everything he can do to win in this team and NOT stated dissapointment or desire to jump ship early. Give this team a break, you cant be a championship level team so soon after getting your #1 guy. I HATE the discussion that is being forced onto this team, the pressure from the media is crazy and its all to push this stupid motive. stop it.

      I get what you are saying but you don’t ship out five first round picks with the logic of let’s build this chemistry for three to five years. Pretty soon you’re gonna have to start paying folks some serious bread. Like Donovan gonna opt out next season PERIOD. He’s gonna ask for the max. Cleveland can pay the max but with that comes the luxury tax. You don’t wanna be paying the tax and you not really a contender.

Conference finals and up would be house money. This team is 2-3 years removed from being trash. 2-3 YEARS. some franchises have been stuck at the bottom for nearly a decade now. if Mitchell gets a max on a different team its gonna be the same situation in a new landscape given the luxury tax situation.

    Cavs went from 19-63 team in 2018-19 to a 2nd seed in the East today.
    They completed a full rebuild in just 4 seasons.
    Building the roster through good drafting and timely trading for good players and eventually acquiring Spida with the assets they accumulated.
    They got their first taste of playoffs last year without LeBron for the first time since the 90s.
    With the arrival of Strus, Niang, Thompson and the development of hidden gems Craig Porter Jr., Sam Merrill, and Dean Wade, I believe that they are better prepared in the playoffs this year.

He even said in a room full of reporters "guess I wasn't worth trading Quentin Grimes for" after the trade with Detroit.

    As a Cavs fan, I’m biased, but I think JB has the lineups down now and it will let Mitchell, Garland, Evan, and Jarret, to all play at an all star caliber level. I think all of this will keep Donovan happy as long as they do better then last year in the playoffs. I also think Donovan is happy and definitely like his cavs teammate’s more then his former jazz teamates.

      I see this team winning multiple rings if they stay together for a long time. They are slightly behind Boston's timeline, 76ers and Bucks are not the top dogs anymore, Knicks are a threat but I really think the Cavs will take them down this year if they meet up. Out West, the clippers window is really small now, and that conference is just a mess but I would say the team to beat out West is still the Nuggets. Cavs have a good chance as any competitive franchise for the next decade to win some chips. just KEEP IT TOGETHER PLEASE

Jokić is only 29. Then in the East, Tatum and Brown are 25 and 27 respectively, 76ers are gonna have cap space to continue to build around Embiid.

    Not sure what kind of narrative this is. They also actually won more after and during donovan mitchell was getting benched from his injury.
    What actaully happend was that Spida realised he can play of ball because his team can actually win without him. Because yes cavs won a lot of games without him during his time injuries.
    Also cavs added shooters like Max strus, Sam merrill, georges niang.
    Also rookie Craig Porter junior has had some very good minutes after donovan's injury, one the the biggest reasons we won without Spida on the court.
    I just don't really like the narrative you are creating out of some pretty baseless rumors and some rash conclusions.
    You're just over looking 90% of what the cavs are doing and insulting coach JB in the process for a team that is at it's second season together and who also had to deal with lot's of injuries during last season and this one.
    Even with all these injuries, the small market and the disrespect cavaliers are the second best team of the eastern conference in standing with a record of 36 wins for 17 losses.
    Yes they lost last season to a bad knicks squad but they addressed their issues, 3 point shooting and relying too much and Spida and Garland isos.
    You have absolutely 0 nuance in your conclusion but obviously it's giga click bait and you are trying to get views I get it but at least don't insult the coach and the players in doing so.

Granted, with Ainge trading him, theres no way to know for sure what would have happened. That being said, I can see a world in which the Cavs don't make the Eastern conference finals (if everyone is healthy it'll probably be some combination of Boston, NY, Philly, or Milwaukee) and a frustrated Donovan Mitchell will be heavily pursued by NY, Miami, Brooklyn, the Lakers and who knows who else. Don has a chance of being on a much better team next year, and I'll be surprised if he doesn't take it

    to say Mitchell is not on the Cavs timeline is crazy. Dude is 27, Garland is 24. Mobley is 22 and Allen will be 26 in a few weeks. Three years apart to his best teammate, two years to his second best. How is that not "the same timeline"? Look at the age difference for actual contenders this year: Booker & KD: eight years. LeBron & AD: eight years. Jokic & Murray: three years. Embiid & Maxey: six years. Gobert & Edwards: nine years. This is no problem at all, Mitchell is just entering his prime, he is not "in the middle of it". Also, Garland has been an All-Star already, Allen as well and Mobley will be soon. This team is not as young and inexperienced as you make it seem, they are already very good in the regular season, they just had one bad playoff run, but it was the first. The learnings will be there. I COULD see a world where the cavs trade Mobley instead of Allan though for short-term success since Allen seems to be more playoff ready than Mobley, while Mobley has the much higher ceiling.

Cavaliers fans are used to it, but we’re also sick of this.
    Also, I’d argue you’re overthinking what Koby Altman said. And Donovan isn’t “past that,” as you said - he’s 27! I mean, I hope he stays, but if someone doesn’t want to take the supermax and wants to go see if he can build chemistry like this on another team, Godspeed.

By the time his contract is up they’ll be READY READY, he was chill in Utah.. not worried. Lebron can come or not, we’re not drafting Bronny, unless he starts to improve a lot. He should stay in school. Keeping Okoro, will be tricky , Zhaire Smith will be a potential replacement I think. Probable reason for his 10 day, could be for off season assessment as a back up plan. If he’s healthy and stays healthy he could be a serviceable 3&d guy with a nose for the ball as a undersized forward kinda winnable odd ball player. We got a squad. Playoffs should be a good time
