The Cleveland Cavaliers have completed a five-team trade that has added Peyton Watson and Cam Whitmore to their roster. While Watson is the headline addition to the team with this move, Whitmore also adds some necessary depth in the Cavaliers’ rotation after trading away Dennis Schroder.
There was a reason the Cavaliers kept coming back to Peyton Watson. They needed a wing with size. They needed athleticism. They needed another defender.
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.
The 2026 NBA offseason hadn’t necessarily gone as expected for the Cleveland Cavaliers as they completely miss out on signing LeBron James and hadn’t made any significant moves despite coming off a deep playoff run.
The regular season is important, but NBA legends are made in the playoffs. More specifically, it's the Finals where the all-time greats have built their otherworldly reputations.
There are trades you don’t make because you don’t want to lose a player. Then there are trades you make because you have to get better, even though you know you’re going to miss the guy going out the door.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have their sights set on the 2026-27 NBA season, one that will hopefully bring more success after their deep playoff run last season.
Though relatively quiet, the noise surrounding the Cavs offseason has been anything but. There have been moves made, but a whole lot more of them that either failed to come to fruition or just failed to take place.
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.
A quiet free agency that still provided many talking points, the Cleveland Cavaliers head into training camp with questions about their current roster for this season.
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.
In 2026, the Cavaliers drafted Meleek Thomas and Alex Karaban. Their first round pick, Karaban was then traded to the Kings for the pick that would become Thomas.
Point guard Dennis Schroder inched closer to making NBA history after the trade from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Charlotte Hornets last week, becoming the second-most traded player in league history and now having played for the second-most number teams throughout his career.
There have been plenty of stars to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers. It all began with the likes John Johnson, Bingo Smith, Austin Carr, Lenny Wilkens, etc.
The Cleveland Cavaliers still need to make roster moves to improve the small-forward position. Per ESPN’s NBA beat reporter Shams Charania, the Cavaliers traded Dennis Schroder and cash to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for another point guard Tre Mann.
It was a quiet night in the NBA, but it’s one that former NBA coach Mike D’Antoni will never forget. After coaching for 16 years in the league, he retired in 2021, earning a spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame for his incredible career.
The Cavaliers’ trade of Dennis Schroder wasn’t some Friday afternoon impulse. It had been in the works for months. More importantly, they don’t appear to be finished.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have done their part in helping Dennis Schroder become the most well-traveled player in the NBA. News broke Friday that the Cavaliers agreed to trade Schroder to the Charlotte Hornets.
A number of former All-Stars opted out of their contracts for 2026-27 to give their teams more flexibility to make moves. Across the board, that extra flexibility has led nowhere.
