Cleveland Cavaliers

“Coming off their first ever championship, it would’ve been easy for the Cleveland Cavaliers to be complacent this summer. Instead, they worked their way into the second round of the draft to snag Kay Felder, added a useful bench scorer in Mike Dunleavy and ensured their status as perennial contenders by bringing back LeBron James.

However, Cleveland also lost a bit of depth this summer with Timofey Mozgov and Matthew Dellavedova departing. Mozzy was hardly a factor come playoff time and Delly similarly struggled in the Finals, but they helped with the grind of the regular season.

Just by bringing LeBron James back though, the Cavs would’ve gotten something in the “A” range. If they’re able to take care of business and bring J.R. Smith back into the fold, this A- will move up to a full A.”
