The Cleveland Cavaliers had the breakout season they were looking for a year ago, dominating their competition en route to 51 wins and the league’s second-best net rating. The playoffs, however, ended in heartbreak as the New York Knicks knocked the young Cavs out in the First Round.
That prompted the Cavs to attack this summer and improve the roster. With limited resources available to them, Cleveland still managed to add a number of shooters in Max Strus, Georges Niang and Ty Jerome to bolster the rotation. With continued development from Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, this team could be ready to take another step forward.
The potential this season holds is a major reason why the Cavaliers and their fans have been waiting excitedly for the release of the 2023-24 NBA schedule, and they now have to wait no longer.
