On draft night 2026, Arkansas product Meleek Thomas failed to hear his name in the first round. Despite it being a loaded class, it was still surprising not to hear Thomas’s name given his combination of success with the Razorbacks, youth and upside.
Cleveland Cavaliers fans enjoyed the return of LeBron James in 2014. Now, in 2026, many are hoping for one final reunion. LeBron returning to Cleveland seems to make perfect sense.
After James Harden declined his player option, the Cavaliers lost both Dean Wade and Keon Ellis. The Cavaliers did re-sign Thomas Bryant in the intermediary, but all of the buzz has been around LeBron James.
How many of the NBA players with the most three-pointers made in the postseason can you name in five minutes?
Rookie Meleek Thomas has made an electric start to his life as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers and, ahead of the upcoming NBA regular season, has outlined what to expect from him.
At the end of the game or in other big moments, it's usually the team's stars who have the ball. Sometimes, though, it's the role players who get the chance to shine and deliver.
James is about to enter his 24th season in the NBA, and, once again, he's the most important free agent in the entire league.
The impact of the NBA Summer League is debatable, but the Cleveland Cavaliers' second-round pick is making the most of his opportunity to test his game
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Miami Heat 90-73 in their first win of the 2026 Las Vegas Summer League. They were led by rookie Meleek Thomas, who was on fire from start to finish and ended the game with 35 points.
The Cleveland Cavaliers had a strong 2025-26 season, and it led to them reaching the Eastern Conference Finals. While the series against the New York Knicks did not go in their favor, the Cavs took a step in the right direction.
Typically, the path to the NBA for most players is to spend at least a season in college to get high-level basketball and important development under their belts.
The coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers has made his thoughts known. In a radio interview at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson declared that Cleveland was in the mix for LeBron James.
After a standout freshman season at Arkansas in which he averaged 15.6 points per game on 41.6% shooting from three, many evaluators viewed Meleek Thomas as a first round talent.
In their second Summer League game yesterday afternoon, the Cleveland Cavaliers looked to not be close to the Detroit Pistons. Despite a small comeback in the third quarter Detroit improved upon their poor shooting performance as they pulled out the win 103-94.
Without any trade drama, Donovan Mitchell committed to a long-term extension on the first day he was eligible for a new contract. Agreeing to the four-year, $273 million deal means the 7x All-Star sacrificed an extra $80 million.
Thomas scored 30 points in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 103-94 Summer League loss to the Detroit Pistons Sunday, but his most revealing work came as a playmaker.
Kenny Atkinson never mentioned LeBron James by name. He probably didn’t have to. Speaking from NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, the Cavaliers coach smiled when asked about Cleveland’s outlook for next season, making it clear there’s another reason for optimism beyond the current roster.
With everyone keeping tabs on James' next move, fans and analysts get as creative as general managers to figure out the best course of action.
The modern NBA equivalency is this: a supermax-contracted star traded for purely financial reasons. We’ve seen a series of players move on for ostensibly non-basketball reasons over the past few years, the latest being Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown’s shocking trade to the Philadelphia 76ers.
The NBA offseason thrives on the currency of “what if.” Before the ink even dries on the latest championship confetti, the basketball world pivots directly to the trade machine, looking for the next seismic shift that could alter the landscape of both conferences.
Once again, all eyes in the NBA are set on LeBron James and the delay in his decision is holding up some other deals.
The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to reshape their roster following another successful regular season, but one familiar veteran won't be returning. On Wednesday, longtime NBA forward Larry Nance Jr.
Nance, an 11-year veteran, spent last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers and will be joining his fourth team in as many seasons.
Not all championships are built on talent alone, and in some cases, the most challenging negotiations have nothing to do with the game. The case of Tristan Thompson and his contract negotiations with the Cleveland Cavaliers is an excellent example of such challenges.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are losing a fan favorite to free agency.
Harden has only been with the Cleveland Cavaliers for a partial season since he came to the team via a blockbuster trade from the Los Angeles Clippers in February.
