Cavs season preview: Khalifa Diop is ripe for development
Four years after being drafted, Khalifa Diop is gearing up for his rookie season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Diop has spent the last few years as a stashed prospect overseas, but will finally make his debut in the 2026 season. What should we expect? Diop is a mobile 6’11” big who can block shots and […]
Cavs season preview: Kenny Atkinson – Getting more than just buy-in
Last regular season was a step backwards for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They struggled through injuries and lacked much of the cohesion that made them a 64-win juggernauts the year before. It’d be easy to blame Kenny Atkinson for last regular season being a disappointment. Many of the things that worked the previous year simply didn’t […]
Cleveland Cavaliers promote Brandon Weems to General Manager
The Cleveland Cavaliers are not done making off season moves. This time the changes are coming in the front office. It was reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania on Friday morning that the Cavaliers are promoting Brandon Weems to the role of General Manager under President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman. Weems, who has been with […]
Peyton Watson makes a stellar first impression in Cleveland
First impressions are everything. Peyton Watson made sure to leave a good one during his introductory press conference with the Cleveland Cavaliers. “I’m just Peyton Watson, and you can guarantee that I’m gonna show up on a nightly basis and affect winning.” That’s a bold statement from a 23-year-old making his introduction to a new […]
How James Harden facilitated Cleveland’s biggest offseason splash
The Cleveland Cavaliers had a tense start to the summer. They spent weeks waiting for LeBron James to make a decision, only for the King to choose Philly over returning home. This put Cleveland’s offseason on the brink of disaster. They needed a wing — and with the free agency pool drained, the Cavs had […]
The Cavs have a bench problem
It has been a strange summer for the Cleveland Cavaliers. After waiting, and waiting, and then losing out on the LeBron James sweepstakes, the Cavs had to pivot. They already watched Keon Ellis and Dean Wade depart before James’ decision, and then had to offload Dennis Schroder and Max Strus to get a smidge of […]
History suggests that James Harden’s new contract will age poorly
All-time great players achieve that status by continually defying norms, yet Father Time remains undefeated. James Harden will be remembered as one of the ten best guards in league history when all is said and done. His peak as a one-man offense in the 2010s with the Houston Rockets hasn’t been topped by many; neither […]

Cavs announce training camp destination for 2026-27 season
The Cleveland Cavaliers are sticking with the theme of having a destination training camp. But unlike the last two seasons, when they took a quick plane ride south to Sarasota, Florida, to train at IMG Academy, the Cavs will be taking a much longer trip across the pond as they’ll be conducting training camp in […]
Cavs sign former second-round pick
The Cleveland Cavaliers are in a tough salary cap position. Because they’re hard-capped at the first apron after completing the sign-and-trade for Peyton Watson, they needed to sign someone with zero years of NBA experience to remain under that threshold. To accomplish this, they signed 2022 second-round pick Khalifa Diop to a $1.36 million deal […]
Mario Hezonja might surprise Cavs fans
The Cleveland Cavaliers are taking a gamble on Mario Hezonja. The 6’7” forward hasn’t played an NBA game in six years, but signed a $2.4 million deal with Cleveland in July. Naturally, expectations are low for a player who has been out of the league for so long. His first stint in the NBA didn’t […]

Cavs decide on Cam Whitmore’s future with the team
The Cleveland Cavaliers are hard-capped at the first apron after making a sign-and-trade for Peyton Watson earlier this week. Signing James Harden to a new deal that is expected to start just below $30 million pushes the Cavs closer to the apron. That means they either needed to move one of the players on the […]
Cavs fans approve of team’s offseason moves
It’s been a rollercoaster of an offseason for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cavs Trade Grade: Cleveland finally has their answer at small forward
It’s been a frustrating off-season for the Cleveland Cavaliers — or perhaps it was. They lost starting small forward Dean Wade in free agency to the Philadelphia 76ers, and then waited nearly a month for LeBron James to follow him there. While the rest of the Eastern Conference was improving, the Cavs were mostly sitting […]
