Contender rumored to be interested in trading for Evan Mobley
We don’t yet know how the Cleveland Cavaliers will choose to handle this summer. What we do know, however, is that they’ll have plenty of options.

Cavs lose valuable member of front office to 76ers
One of the signs of success is needing to replace up-and-coming members of both the coaching staff and the front office who get better jobs elsewhere. Last season, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost Jordan Ott, a valuable assistant coach, to the Phoenix Suns when he was appointed head coach last summer. Now, they’re losing general manager […]
Koby Altman answers on Evan Mobley’s future with Cavs
The Cleveland Cavaliers have a long summer ahead of them. The most pressing issue will be determining who belongs on the team next season. When asked if Evan Mobley will ‘definitively’ be back, Koby Altman gave a somewhat shaky response. “Umm, yeah, I mean, he’s part of our future,” said Altman. Altman’s comments are open […]
Cavs appear ready to run it back with Mitchell/Harden backcourt
The Cleveland Cavaliers seem to have every intention of bringing back James Harden and Donovan Mitchell this summer.

The Cavs can extend Mitchell long-term […]
Report: Cavs not seen as one of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s preferred landing spots
Following the emphatic series loss in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers profile as one of the most interesting teams this offseason. The Cavs are thoroughly in “win-now” mode, and they have linked to a player that fits that timeline in Giannis Antetokounmpo. While the Cavs have had interest for several months now, Antetokounmpo […]
Donovan Mitchell discusses possible contract extension with Cavs: ‘I love it here’
CLEVELAND — Donovan Mitchell has cemented himself as one of the best players in Cleveland Cavaliers’ franchise history in just four seasons. He’s been an All-Star each year and earned a spot on an All-NBA team three times. On top of that, he was the best player on a group that went to the conference […]
Cavs make important decision on front office and coaching staff
The Cleveland Cavaliers could make drastic changes this summer. However, those moves won’t come at the expense of either the front office or the coaching staff. According to Joe Vardon of The Athletic, the Cavs are expected to retain both. This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, despite how things ended on Monday […]
Cavs back up head coach Kenny Atkinson after being swept by Knicks: ‘We love Kenny’
CLEVELAND — Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson has been in the crossfire of many commentators after this playoff run. His comments about analytics didn’t sit well with many, and the team also underperformed in several key moments — including during the Game 1 collapse against the New York Knicks. The coach is going to […]
James Harden ‘100%’ wants to be back in Cleveland
The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t trade for a one-year rental. All indicators point towards James Harden returning to the team this summer after opting out to restructure his deal. “Yes. 100%,” said Harden on whether he wants to be back in Cleveland. “Definitely want to be here. I think we found something. It’s tough not ending […]
This Cavaliers team was never serious
Game 1 was a confirmation of a cultural problem. The Cleveland Cavaliers surrendered a 22-point lead in the fourth quarter, not gradually, not begrudgingly, but as if they had simply decided to stop. The New York Knicks didn’t steal the game so much as Cleveland left it unlocked, engine running, keys in the ignition. What […]
Donovan Mitchell confirms injury status after Cavs playoff elimination
CLEVELAND — There were stretches throughout the postseason when Donovan Mitchell didn’t quite look himself. The burst and explosiveness to the basket weren’t there like we’ve become accustomed to in the past. So much so that it led to commentators speculating that maybe he was injured. Mitchell has been asked repeatedly throughout the postseason about […]
8 Takeaways from Cavs series-ending loss to Knicks: Where do the Cavaliers go from here?
CLEVELAND — The leap between being a great team and being a championship-caliber one is the hardest to make.

Cavs prove they aren’t good enough, swept by Knicks
An NBA season can end in many ways. For about half of the league, the season ends without ever really beginning. Teams that finish in the lottery or lose in the Play-In Tournament never had much on the line. Losing in the actual playoffs can vary. A hard-fought exit for a young team like the […]

Kenny Atkinson is right about the analytics, but now isn’t the time to say it
Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson’s honesty and transparency are among his best attributes. He’s always going to tell you the truth, which is different than most coaches who give trite answers that mean very little. That honesty, though appreciated by me, might not always be welcomed by everyone. Especially when his group is down […]
Cavs vs. Knicks Game 4: How to watch, odds, and injury report
No NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. If the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to be the first to do so, they’ll need to shoot the ball considerably better than they have so far in this series. The New York Knicks have thoroughly controlled the first three games. Their 22-point comeback victory […]
Donovan Mitchell receives end-of-season honor
The Cleveland Cavaliers had a turbulent regular season after seemingly everything went exactly their way the year before.
