Is the Cleveland Cavaliers current core group good enough to win a NBA Championship?

The Cleveland Cavaliers love their core group.

Koby Altman brought back Kenny Atkinson to coach up Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Evan Mobley & Jarrett Allen this summer.

But is this core good enough to win at the highest levels?

  1. I think MORE needs done.
    A 7 ft duo of KD & Giannis need to be formed to stop Wemby

    – Donovan Mitchell and Sam Merrill for KD & Reed Sheppard saves an additional 4.2 million
    – Evan Mobley and Dennis Schroder for Giannis Antetokounmpo saves an additional 6.4 million
    – Max Strus & pick 29 for Jalen Smith saves 7.2 million

    – Paired with James Hardens discount rumors at an additional 12-15 million that’s 29.8 – 32.8 million dollars in savings
    – Under A2 and the ability to do s&t
    – Throw 25-30 million to Peyton Watson to lure him away from DEN in a s&t for Wade Keon & CPJ

    Harden – Watson – KD – Giannis – Allen

    Reed – Proctor – Tyson – Tomlin – Smith

  2. If they get giannis they better hope they ready for this show to talk about how they gave up everything for 1 year of winning rather they win a ring or not.

  3. There is nothing this team can do to compete for a title with Donovan Mitchell and James Harden. The window has closed. They need to get rid of them both for draft picks and start a rebuild around Tyson, Proctor, Tomlin and possibly Mobley.

    The team is too expensive and it would cost too much to make it a real title contender. The east was as wide open as it is going to be for a few years and they couldn't get it done. Next year will be harder. Any Cavs team with Mitchell and Harden on it next year will get bounced in the first or second round.

  4. LeBron left this franchise in shambles not once but twice, TWICE. I remember watching that 26 game losing streak. Now you delusional fans want to bring him back, AND his G league all star son???

    They should study this fanbase to know what Stockholm syndrome looks like, st8 up.

  5. I agree with this take but they also haven’t had a lot of time since the Harden trade. Maybe a full training camp could make a big difference.

  6. Get rid of adam the BuLLY. He is very much jelleous of Mike, and Adam never passes on the opportunity to point out little mistakes or mis-reads by Mike. But when Adams bull$hit takes are full of holes and obvious mistakes, Mike is the bigger man, and doesnt try to embarass or point out obvious mistakes with ridicule. Mike is the bigger man always….and not a fat slob kind of big, but big hearted in a respectfull way. We the fans notice the disrespect Adam tries to throw at you Mike. But the only clown in the end is Adam the slob. Keep up the good work Mike. Cleveland Loves you bro.
