Cavaliers

Tyronn Lue did not lose the Cleveland Cavaliers’ locker room before getting fired. He lost general manager Koby Altman. Speaking for Watch Stadium, Shams Charania relayed that the disconnect shared between these two ultimately led to Lue’s demise: [tweet https://twitter.com/WatchStadium/status/1056930426160201728] As Charania states in the above clip, Altman had apparently told Kyle Korver and J.R.

As expected, life has been tough in Cleveland post-LeBron. The Cavaliers are 0-6, being outscored by 10 points or more per game looking far closer to the top of the lottery than the NBA Finals. Because of the slow start (and Dan Gilbert’s pettiness) the Cavaliers have decided to fire Head Coach Tyronn Lue. [tweet [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have apparently realized they won’t be winning anything in the aftermath of LeBron James’ departure anytime soon. Extending Kevin Love over the summer without trading any of the veterans inferred a different plan. The Cavs, the thinking went, wanted to contend for a playoff berth. Maybe they still do. But according to [...]

Cavaliers approach to a cold and likely unforgiving post-LeBron world has been much different the second time around. They blew it up (it had really blown up already honestly) the last time around and embraced bottoming out in order to get high draft picks to rebuild. It worked pretty well (even though they had a [...]

Restricted free agency has not been quite to many young players in recent years. After entering this past season as a guy who many thought could garner $10 million or more per year from the Jazz or elsewhere and then struggling with the Jazz before being traded to the Cavaliers and struggling to find a [...]

We have officially entered the quiet time of the NBA off-season (if that still exists) as all of the major moves have more than likely occurred and NBA training camps are still a month and a half away. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t still some player movement behind the scenes and one of the [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in a transition period after losing the best player in the NBA for the 2nd time in the past 8 years. They have decided not to completely blow it up, a decision made clear when they decided to sign their only all-star caliber player left, Kevin Love, to an extension. With [...]

Similar to the Cleveland Cavaliers exit from the NBA Finals, the third iteration of The Decision seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Game 1 of The Finals kept us monitoring NBA Twitter and asking; “Is this really going to happen?” Ultimately, reality set in and the Cavaliers lost. The Decision v3 was no different. LeBron [...]

It has been difficult in recent months to find many who believe LeBron James will re-sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers this summer. But don’t worry: such people exist. According to ESPN.com’s Dave McMenamin, at least two members of the Cavaliers, one of whom is a player, believe that Cleveland has the best chance of any [...]

Not so fast, Kevin Love trade enthusiasts. Most expect the Cleveland Cavaliers to heavily shop Love this summer, regardless of what LeBron James does in free agency. If LeBron leaves, they’ll have little use for a soon-to-be 30-year-old approaching his own free agency in 2019 (player option). If LeBron stays, he will instantly becomes their [...]
