The Cavaliers are in need of an upgrade.
LeBron James averaged a triple double in the NBA Finals, and still they were dispatched by Golden State in five games.
Just a week after appearing in their third straight finals with the core of James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, trade rumors are swirling around the Cavs. The belief around the league is that the aforementioned core, talented as it is, isn’t enough to stack up against Golden State.
There is some good news, however.
LeBron James has made seven straight Finals appearances, and the Cavs lost one fewer playoff game in this year’s finals (four) than they have against the Eastern Conference (five) over the past 3 postseasons.
