Cleveland Cavaliers: The Cavs should tank but not now

Just like the Portland Trail Blazers, Washington Wizards, and other teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers, as the plan stands now, plan to be a perennial playoff team. Sounds great, right?

Well, in an age were superstars willingly create superteams, the elite mid-level teams like these hardly ever have a real chance at the ultimate prize, the Larry O’ Brien trophy. For that reason, the Cleveland Cavaliers should blow it up, but they need to wait.

Meaning, the Cavaliers can trade their assets however they see fit, allowing their players time to increase their value.

Unlike the 2011 Cavaliers, who had no coveted assets, the 2019 Cavs do have several players that could entice opposing teams.
