The Cleveland Cavaliers have had their ebs and flows in the 2010’s. At the beginning of this decade, fans of the Wine and Gold were heartbroken when LeBron James left via unrestricted free agency for the first time to the Miami Heat.
The Cavs had some really dark days in the first post-James departure, but in 2011, Cleveland did draft Kyrie Irving, which at least made a few more rebuilding seasons more entertaining.
Fast-forwarding to the summer of 2014, the Cavaliers became the epicenter of the NBA universe, as LeBron signed back and Kyrie was a budding star.
