For a small market team, the Cleveland Cavaliers have enjoyed much success since their 1970 debut. Many All-Stars and great role players have joined the franchise and left the franchise, but many have also given the fanbase unforgettable "what if" questions.
Whether a failed trade rumor, years-long pursuits or just a missed opportunity to capitalize on a star talent, the Cavaliers' history could have been drastically different if only a few moments turned out differently. For every LeBron James or Donovan Mitchell that the Cavs manage to employ, two or three talents pass through Cleveland's fingers.
Over the years, the Cavaliers have stayed relatively quiet during most of their trade negotiations.
