Are the Cleveland Cavaliers actually built to win the East? We break down Cleveland’s offseason moves, the loss of Max Strus, the addition of Peyton Watson, and whether Evan Mobley can finally take the leap alongside Donovan Mitchell. We also debate whether the Cavs are better than Toronto, what could stop a Finals run, and what move Cleveland still needs to make.
Plus, we finish with One Gotta Go, debating what gets NBA players disrespected, what fans pretend doesn’t matter, and what fans overrate. Shoutout to Santa Barbara Brewhouse for supporting the show! Can this Cavs core actually reach the NBA Finals?
