The 2021-22 All-Star weekend in Cleveland last February was indeed a very memorable experience for NBA fans everywhere. As it turns out, it was also a smashing success for both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the city of Cleveland as well.

It appears as though the future of Collin Sexton with the Cleveland Cavaliers still remains to be up in the air at this point. The 6-foot-1 combo guard is set to become a free agent in the summer if he is unable to negotiate a new deal with the Cavs, and right now, there seems […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are close, ladies and gentlemen. This is a young, talented, and deep team. If the pieces fall into place the right way, then the Cavs have the potential to insert their name into the conversation as a title contender not too long from now, and maintain their spot there for a good […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a much different look than years passed. But, it will never be forgotten when LeBron James and Kyrie Irving led the Cavs to their first-ever NBA title in 2016. Former big man Tristan Thompson was also on that team and witnessed the greatness of Bron and Kyrie first-hand. In his eyes, […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers were in a terrific spot in the 2021 NBA Draft as they selected USC forward Evan Mobley with the third overall selection. Mobley turned out to become a sensational choice as the primary or secondary option for the future of the Cavs. Missing out on the playoffs this season was tough for […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are coming off a promising season where they narrowly missed the playoffs after losing in the Play-In Tournament to the Atlanta Hawks.

For starters, here’s exactly what Garland said about his more senior […]

Rajon Rondo made quite an impact for the Cleveland Cavaliers this year following his mid-season trade from the Los Angeles Lakers. Unfortunately, injuries got in the way, and the two-time NBA champ was not able to really play a major role for the Cavs down the stretch. Rondo’s current deal will come to an end […]

Despite a wildly successful season for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they find themselves in a familiar position on the NBA’s quirky, but impactful lottery night. A late slide caused the Cavs to slip just outside the playoffs. It’s a disappointing result, but the future is undeniably bright. Koby Altman has established a core of supremely-talented guys […]

As Kyrie Irving reflects on his divorce with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, he couldn’t help but wonder how things would have changed had he handled it properly. In his recent appearance on the “I Am Athlete” podcast, Irving opened up his thoughts on his controversial exit from the Cavs. While he set the […]

It was announced on Thursday that Memphis Grizzlies vice president Zach Kleiman has been voted as the Executive of the Year for the 2021-22 season — and deservedly so.

It wasn’t too long ago when Cavs big man Kevin Love was involved in a controversial row against Team USA managing director Jerry Colangelo over the former’s decision to withdraw from the team right before the Tokyo Olympics.

The loss of Jarrett Allen to injury during a critical part of the season proved to be a major blow for the Cavs. This exposed their shortcomings in the frontcourt and ultimately, this played a key role in Cleveland’s failure to book their spot in the postseason. At this point, it is clear that the […]

After what was an ultimately disappointing end to the 2021-22 season, the Cavs are now back to the drawing board. This team showed a lot of potential this past season and if they are able to make the right moves this summer, then Cleveland could emerge as a real threat next season. Apart from a […]

One of the biggest decisions the Cavs need to make this offseason involves the contract of Collin Sexton. The 23-year-old is entering free agency this summer and unless Cleveland is able to secure him to a new deal, Sexton could very well walk away and leave the team with nothing to show for. According to […]

LeBron James is without a doubt the most prominent figure in Cavs franchise history. After helping The King bring home the title in 2016, Kyrie Irving is likewise another noteworthy name for the franchise.

There is no denying that the Cavs’ 2015-16 title run remains to be one of, if not the most memorable campaigns in Cleveland’s franchise history. That LeBron James-led group went all the way that season to upset the odds and in the process, bring home the title to Cleveland for the first time ever. On […]

Had it not been for their crushing loss to the Atlanta Hawks in the Play-In game, the Cavs would have had the privilege of facing off against the top-seeded Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs.

Is JR Smith trying to have a go at a rather surprising NBA comeback? Honestly, I have no idea. What is clear, however, is that the former Cavs stud still hasn’t lost his stroke one bit. A video clip of Smith draining no less than 10 consecutive shots during a warmup drill is now making […]

According to Cavs insider Chris Fedor […]

Rookies don’t do the things that Evan Mobley did for the Cavs this season. Despite putting up a rock solid stat line in the first place, the box score only brings into view a small fraction of his impact on the game. Rookies aren’t supposed to be good defenders. They’re not supposed to be good […]

JR Smith is not messing around with his education. Recently, the former Cavs swingman was named the Academic Athlete of the Year by North Carolina A&T for his achievements as a part of the golf team as well as his academics. Cavs veteran Kevin Love heaped praise on his former teammate as he expressed how […]

Scottie Barnes edged out Cavs big man Evan Mobley for this season’s Rookie of the Year award. It was one of the tightest races we’ve seen in quite a while but in the end, it was the Toronto Raptors stud who’s going home with the silverware. Be that as it may, the Cavs are adamant […]

Over the last 16 months, the Cleveland Cavaliers have added a plethora of young talent. Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, Lauri Markkanen, and Caris LeVert is a tremendous bunch of players, but there’s one guy who stands above the rest in terms of impact on the team. That guy is Jarrett Allen. Acquired for a late […]
