The Cleveland Cavaliers will surely find it difficult to not feel disappointment after how the past few seasons have gone. They rose to the top of the East, only to crash and burn in the playoffs in 2025.
Dennis Schroder is already gone, but the Cleveland Cavaliers are still looking to do some selling. The Cavaliers are making an “active” effort to trade away veteran forward Max Strus, veteran NBA writer Marc Stein reported this week.
