Pretty quiet in these streets for a team that suffered an embarrassing sweep on the national stage and whose owner tweeted that the team is “nowhere close” to where they need to be. 👀

“I won a whole chip in Cleveland, they haven’t invited me back once, and it’s been 10 years,” - JR Smith speaks on the Cavs 😳😳😳 How are you celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the Cavs title this week?

June 17, 1986: Team Of The ‘90s🏀 4️⃣0️⃣ years ago today… Cavs transform the franchise (and this city) forever #LetEmKnow  Pick #1 - Brad Daugherty, C, UNC Pick #8 - Ron Harper, G, Miami, OH Pick #25 - Mark Price, PG, Ga. Tech 💙 What a draft. What a team.🧡

If there's one main blemish on Koby's resume it's entering the 2026 offseason without viable rotational fits around his four best players. There's no third big; no versatile, role player-ish wing to start; and no third guard that has size, can defend, and shoot well off-ball. He's found players that have fit those molds with Hunter, LeVert and Wade but we're here without much to show for it and out one 1sts, two 1st pick swaps, three 2nds in the process and just 7 picks over the next 8 drafts to rectify it.

The Cavs need to go outside the building for size on the wings/backup big size and some athletes. But, I also have an unfortunate feeling they are gonna keep the wrong guys already on their roster at the expense of others. We will see

"They want to kind of bring this core back that made it to the conference finals and they want to improve it," - @WindhorstESPN on the Cavs offseason. Windy notes that things change fast and he could "have a different set of information about the Cavs" next week.

James Harden’s arrest over the weekend is not expected to have any impact on him signing an extension with the Cavs this summer, per @JakeLFischer. Harden is expected to sign a 2-year extension in the $60 million or more range.

Look at the starting 5 of every champion since GSW and think about starting Dean Wade

Cavs open as 3500 to win the 2027 Finals on FanDuel which is 4th best odds in the East and 10th best odds overall.

BREAKING: James Harden was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with the unlawful carrying of weapons, per @TMZ (h/t @BASKETBALLonX )

The Celtics are trying to pull off acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo and Trey Murphy III in a gigantic blockbuster framework. Boston has reached out to the Pelicans to gauge interest on Jaylen Brown and/or Derrick White. Murphy’s $27 million salary slides right into Boston’s TPE.

FIRST LOOK: The official Cleveland Cavaliers 2026 NBA Draft hat is here 👀 Thoughts on these? 🤔

REPORT: The “hope” from Dean Wade’s camp is that he lands a deal close to the Mid-Level Exception, per @ChrisFedor

The Cavs are likely going to prioritize bringing back Dean Wade over Keon Ellis, per @TheSteinLine. Stein notes that he does not expect the Cavs to entertain trade offers for Evan Mobley.

Wing is a need but at least Koby has taken swings: Isaac Okoro, Dylan Windler, Max Strus, Caris LeVert, Jaylon Tyson, De'Andre Hunter, Keon Ellis. Heck, even Marcus Morris, Danny Green and Javonte Green on buyouts. The same type of investment and swings are not true for bigs.

Cavaliers pivoted from Keldon Johnson and went with Dylan Windler.
