A quartet of Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen has been the nucleus of the Cleveland Cavaliers since 2022.
Since inception, Cleveland's core four has accumulated a 184-100 lifetime record. The Cavs have held a top-four record in the Eastern Conference each regular season together, most recently reaching the first seed with a 64-18 record last year. Mitchell and Mobley earned All-NBA honors after last season, marking the first time two Cavaliers joined the list since the LeBron James and Kyrie Irving era.
Unfortunately, Cleveland's success through 82 games has not conveyed to the postseason.
