Despite popular belief, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have a bright future. Many people are assuming that the Cavaliers are destined for another 50-year championship drought. This team isn’t expected to be competitive for a long time. However, these assumptions are wrong.
It’s obvious that losing a player as talented as LeBron James will leave a dent in any franchise. But this organization did a great job of preparing for his departure long before he made his decision. For starters, the Cavaliers made sure to acquire two key assets in the infamous Kyrie Irving trade.
In this trade, the Cavaliers gained Ante Zizic and the eighth pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.
