The Cleveland Cavaliers Case Study

The next four years, LeBron helped the Cavs improve. In the 2006-2007 year, the Cavs beat the Detroit Pistons in the semi-finals but lost in the finals against San-Antonio Spurs. During the years 2007-2008, the Cavs failed to make it to the playoffs. The following year, 2008-2009, they acquired point guard Mo Williams and Shaquille O’Neal. They lost in the second round of the playoffs to the Boston Celtics. In 2010, his contract was over with the Cavaliers. He decided to go to the Miami Heat and made two more lifelong friends, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. That season, in the playoffs, they beat the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics, and the Chicago Bulls but lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the championship. The next season, in 2011, the Heat beat the New York Knicks, the Indiana Pacers, and the Boston Celtics. In the championship game, the Miami Heat beat the Oklahoma City Thunder. In 2012, they beat the San Antonio Spurs in the Finals. When his contract expired in 2013, he decided to go back to the Cleveland Cavaliers where everything

Just having LeBron James – the biggest name and superstar in the NBA – come back to Cleveland after leaving for Miami four years ago was a big boost, not just emotionally but also economically for the city. But the deeper the Cavs’ run in the postseason went, the better

The Harlem Rens first established on February 13, 1923, by Robert “Bob” Douglas, the owner and coach of the team, and also known as the “Father of Black Professional Basketball”. By creating an agreement with the owner of the Harlem Renaissance Casino and Ballroom, Douglas was able to secure the ballroom as the location for the team’s home court. As a result, the first professional African American basketball team was created, and because they were the only non-white basketball

However, James decides to leave the Heat and went back to his hometown, Cleveland. Since then, Wade and Bosh carried the Heat franchise and lead the team to playoff appearances but never gone further. And now that Wade leaves the team and Bosh not cleared to play because of his health condition, the Heat is said to be looking for a high-caliber player to fill in that gap.

Toronto's defensive woes culminated in a meltdown of epic proportions during the postseason, losing four-straight games in the opening

He was drafted to the Cleaved Cavaliers. As a Cavalier his position was small forward. He was a first round pick in 2003 by the Cavaliers and it was their first round pick. He averages twenty four point nine points per game. Also James averaged 7.2 rebounds per game and six point four assists per game for the Cavaliers.

The Philadelphia 76ers announced on Wednesday that they exercised team options on point guard T.J. McConnell and forward Richaun Holmes.

During the 2015-2016 season, Lebron James went home to the Cavaliers and went on to have wins of 57 and losses 25. In the playoffs, the Cavaliers were playing the Golden State Warriors. The Cavaliers were down 3-1, if they were to lose

With two titles in the past three years, the Villanova Wildcats are on their way to becoming a dynasty. Since the end of John Wooden's UCLA coaching tenure in 1975, only twice has a school won two times in the span of three years. These were Duke's  early 90's teams of Grant Hill, Bobby Hurley, and Christian Laettner, and Florida's 2006-2007 teams of Joakim Noah, Al Horford, and Corey Brewer, meaning the Wildcats have joined elite company. Once known as a top team during the regular season who would flame out in March, Jay Wright's most recent teams have shattered that belief.

What is the next step? Some say it is to make a charge and beat LeBron James now and form your own "super-team" by cashing in on your assets. Others say to do a minor tear down to prepare for LeBron's eventual downfall. What is certain though, is that the Celtics are poised to meet this Cavaliers team repeatedly in the coming years, armed with the potential to get infinitely better, along with a genius young coach and confident general

The team started in the 1966-67 NBA season, and posted the best record by an expansion team in NBA history. Coached by Chicagoan and former NBA star Johnny “Red” Kerr, and led by former NBA assist leader Guy Rodgers, guard Jerry Sloan and forward Bob Boozer, the Bulls qualified for the playoffs, the only NBA team to do so in their inaugural

When the team was established in the late 80s, the fans reached a new height in pride for their team. But when the team owner moved the Hornets to New Orleans and the Bobcats came into town, many can tell you all hell was broken loose. The Bobcats made it to the playoffs once, and they were swept out by Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic. Over their tenure, they only had one all-star who was slowly on the decline. Most Charlotte fans today don’t remember the days of Raymond Felton and Gerald Wallace, who were arguably the best players the Bobcats ever had. Charlotte hasn’t had a go-to star like Dwayne Wade in Miami, or LeBron James in Cleveland; both of which have been

So after going 72-0 and beating lots of records Telliono Brookins was drafted to the Cleveland Cavaliers To play alongside Lebron “bron bron” James , Kyrie “killer crossover” Irving, and Kevin “ Madman” Love. Telly is about to start practicing with his teammates soon.

I’ve heard many of the Cavaliers management—next to immortal LeBron—speaking of you, complaining of the tyranny of the management, and wishing that you could play better. Anderson Varejao What dangers are you trying to lead me into, Kyrie, That you want me to look inside myself for something that is not there? Kyrie Irving I’ll tell you good, Anderson.

The Timberwolves get a plentiful return for separating with Love, the displeased face of their establishment. They obtained No. 1 general draft decision Andrew Wiggins and previous top pick Anthony Bennett from the Cavs and veteran forward Thaddeus Young from the Philadelphia 76ers in the three-group bargain.
