Cleveland Cavaliers

This is the worst team in the league: Trick

The Cleveland Cavaliers have already fired their head coach and were the last team in the NBA to get a win this season following an 0-6 start. Their lone victory also came against the Hawks, another one of the league’s expected bottom-feeders.

Even so, with Tyronn Lue gone and Larry Drew taking over (sort of), the Cavs should be a bit more competitive moving forward. Not having Kevin Love — possibly for the long haul — obviously complicates things, but this team is better than it’s shown early on.

Trades and a prolonged absence from Love could quickly change matters, and it seems like Kyle Korver‘s time in Cleveland is running out. However, with the Hawks, New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns still out there, the Cavs have too much experience to wind up at the bottom of the totem pole.
