What to expect at Cavaliers’ NBA media day: Are prognosticators overlooking the Cavs?

The Cleveland Cavaliers are entering training camp following an appearance in the Eastern Conference finals. During the offseason, star guard Donovan Mitchell agreed to a four-year, $273 million contract extension, while James Harden re-signed on a three-year, $97 million deal. The franchise also traded for Peyton Watson following LeBron James's decision to sign with Philadelphia.

Cleveland enters the upcoming season with starting lineup changes following the departures of Max Strus and Dean Wade. Peyton Watson, Sam Merrill, and Jaylon Tyson are potential options to fill the open role, while team president Koby Altman highlighted the conditioning of forward Evan Mobley, who added 15 pounds ahead of the campaign.
