Cavs Trade Rumor: Why trading for Peyton Watson is easier said than done
The long summer of the Cleveland Cavaliers being interested in a free-agent small forward, just for nothing to actually happen, continues.

Cavs have multiple potential landing spots for Dennis Schroder
The Cleveland Cavaliers, like every other competitive team in the league, are trying to navigate the new CBA by cutting costs where they can. That’s resulted in an ongoing search to dump Dennis Schroder’s contract. Not because the Cavs can’t use his talents, but because clearing space for financial wiggle-room is more important in today’s […]
James Harden gun case is settled
Earlier this summer, Cleveland Cavaliers free agent guard James Harden was arrested on Saturday, June 26, outside of Houston after having a handgun visible in the car during a routine traffic stop.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are firmly in the mix for both Jonathan Kuminga and Peyton Watson.

Cavs missed golden opportunity to land LeBron James in free agency
For one reason or another, the Cleveland Cavaliers weren’t able to lure LeBron James back home for one final run. James chose to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers instead after nearly a month of free agency. The Cavs handled free agency as if they were going to get LeBron. Now we know why. On the […]
Report: Cavs showing interest in young, high-upside wing
The Cleveland Cavaliers are searching high and low (and overseas) for help on the wing after missing out on LeBron James, though there are limited options available. However, those options are at least intriguing. Cleveland’s interest in Jonathan Kuminga is well-documented, but Chris Fedor of cleveland.com said on the Wind and Gold Talk podcast that […]
Cavs still chasing Kuminga trade; Hawks interested in Jarrett Allen
The Cleveland Cavaliers are officially sprinting to complete their offseason checklist now that LeBron James is off the board. A few things on their to-do list include signing Mario Hezonja, restructuring James Harden’s deal, and trading for Jonathan Kuminga. The latter will require multiple moves to make possible.

Cavs hit roadblock in signing Mario Hezonja
The Cleveland Cavaliers formally agreed to a deal to sign forward Mario Hezonja earlier this week. If only it were that simple. Hezonja is currently having trouble being released from Real Madrid as the Spanish club argues that Hezonja missed his window to leave for the NBA. Hezonja had an NBA out clause in his […]

Cavs interested in adding former All-Star wing
Unsurprisingly, the Cleveland Cavaliers need to add another forward to the roster in the wake of LeBron James going to the Philadelphia 76ers. It seems that the signing of Mario Hezonja is not the only transaction the Cavaliers are pursuing. In a segment on NBA Today, ESPN’s Shams Charania noted that “DeMar DeRozan has interest […]
Choosing the 76ers complicates the LeBron and Northeast Ohio relationship
I’m coming home. That was the framing behind LeBron James’s second decision in 2014. After winning two titles in Miami with the Heat, he was ready to come home. Northeast Ohio always had a special place in LeBron’s heart. Something bigger than basketball, a calling, an obligation. However, as LeBron began pondering where his “final […]
Cavs sign impactful wing scorer from Europe
The Cleveland Cavaliers have made their first free agency addition of the summer, 26 days into free agency. They’ve signed 6’8” Croatian forward, Mario Hezonja, to a one-year minimum contract worth $2.8 million, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Hezonja was the fifth overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft for the Orlando Magic. He played […]
The true price of LeBron James’s final ring chase
Rocket Arena reserved one of its loudest roars of the year for a late January 30-point blowout. That cheer wasn’t for anything that happened on the floor; it was instead for the hometown hero, who was playing possibly the last game on the court he had reigned on for over a decade. LeBron James doesn’t […]
The Cavs gambled, and lost, on waiting for LeBron James
For the third time in his illustrious career, LeBron James ripped the hearts out of Cleveland Cavaliers fans everywhere. This time is undoubtedly worse than in 2018 when he left for Los Angeles, which seemed expected. But James was saying and doing the things one would expect of someone making their way back to where […]
Cavaliers Reacts Survey: Fans believe Jaylon Tyson has the brightest future
The Cleveland Cavaliers are bumping into the harsh realities that come with recently being above the second apron.

LeBron James chooses 76ers over Cavs in free agency
LeBron James has opted out of the storybook ending many in Northeast Ohio were hoping for. Instead of a retirement tour with the Cleveland Cavaliers, James has decided to head one state over and chase a championship with a new-look Philadelphia 76ers team. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, he’s signing a two-year, $8 million deal. […]
Report: LeBron James ‘had been angling’ to reunite with Kyrie Irving in Cleveland
With the LeBron James summer saga rolling along and potentially into August, the Cleveland Cavaliers remain in the dark as to which way the Hall-of-Fame forward is leaning.

Why the Cavs are the best on-court fit for LeBron James
LeBron James has had success on a lot of different teams, lineup configurations, and eras over the last 23 years. Looking at what worked for a LeBron team a decade or so ago — in a vastly different NBA and style of play — isn’t all that constructive. James isn’t the player he was then, […]
