The Cleveland Cavaliers have spent the money to acquire talent, but the team lacks the drive and effort needed to win it all.
Throughout the entire 2025-26 regular season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been battling just to stay out of the dreaded Play-In Tournament.
With a current 21-18 record, the Cavs sit seventh in the Eastern Conference, right below the six-seeded Miami Heat. Cleveland's tribulations first spawned from injury woes to key players like Darius Garland and Max Strus.
