Cavaliers

Working off a Christmas Day win over the Golden State Warriors, you might think the Cleveland Cavaliers are beyond satisfied with their roster, and past the point of considering any additions. But you’d be wrong. From Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today: Why not just eat Williams’ salary and add a player? The Cavs are over [...]

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ backcourt just keeps taking hits. First, Matthew Dellavedova leaves for the Milwaukee Bucks. Then, Mo Williams retires. And now, J.R. Smith will miss a few weeks after suffering a right thumb injury that requires surgery. With the Cavaliers’ backcourt depth questionable to begin with, it only makes sense that they would explore [...]

The NBA All-Star Game is coming to Cleveland…soon…well, in 2020…or later…maybe. With Quicken Loans Arena set to undergo a nine-figure renovation project, the Cleveland Cavaliers have apparently been told their city will host the league’s All-Star festivities sometime in the near future. From Cleveland.com’s Karen Farkas: A newly-renovated Q will be the site of an [...]

Mo Williams just had to retire, didn’t he? Had he stuck with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James and friends would have repped perhaps the most complete team in the NBA. Sure, they lost Matthew Dellavedova to the Milwaukee Bucks. But they still would have had a backup point guard to soak up playmaking duties behind [...]

It feels like forever ago that Kevin Love’s future with the Cleveland Cavaliers was shrouded in a thick cloud of doubt. Really, though, it was just last season. And yet, it doesn’t feel like that because Love has found a groove with the Cavaliers, per the Akron Beacon Journal‘s Jason Lloyd: What seems like a [...]

When the reigning NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers visit the White House on Thursday, they may be the last team to do so for quite some time. Per Sports Illustrated‘s Lee Jenkins: [tweet https://twitter.com/SI_LeeJenkins/status/796379270457212928] Personally, I don’t doubt this. The NBA is more progressive than any other professional sports league in the United States, and the [...]

Update: Draymond Green is still Draymond Green. Asked by NBA.com’s David Aldridge if the Cleveland Cavaliers are the only team he wants to play should the Golden State Warriors make it back to the NBA Finals, Green responded thusly: Me: Bird and Magic used to always wake up every morning and see how the other [...]

Iman Shumpert is not untouchable to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but they are not desperately trying to get rid of him, either. You could say that about, maybe, half the players in the league. But ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe reported that a few teams have inquired about Shumpert’s availability and left with the “impression” that the Cavaliers [...]

With J.R. Smith re-signed and Mike Dunleavy now on the roster, is Iman Shumpert expendable to the Cleveland Cavaliers? Cleveland, for its part, isn’t quite sure. But it seems to be leaning toward yes, according to ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe: Still: Keep an eye on Iman Shumpert. Several teams, including Minnesota, have inquired about his availability [...]

According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Cavaliers appear to be very interested in free agent point guard Mario Chalmers. [tweet https://twitter.com/WeAreCavsNation/status/787003633539903488] This makes complete and perfect sense for a number of reasons including the Cavaliers need for another veteran point guard after losing Matthew Dellavedova to the Bucks in free agency and Mo Williams to [...]
