CLEVELAND, Ohio — The 58th pick doesn’t usually move the needle. But it can stiffen the spine of a roster. That’s what the Cavs should be after Thursday night — not flash, not projection. USA PRIME LOUISIANA 13U JAMES NAVARRE RBI SINGLEWhat Cleveland needs is someone who’s wired to compete, shaped by experience, and ready to fill the margins with purpose. Viktor Lakhin isn’t a flyer. He’s a floor-raiser.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Another coach has left the Cavs’ nest. Bryan Tibaldi, a consistent presence in Cleveland’s basketball orbit since 2019, is heading back to the college ranks — officially joining the men’s basketball staff at Providence on Tuesday. It’s the latest move in what has become a steady outflow of coaching talent from the Cavs’ pipeline this offseason.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The game isn’t waiting anymore. On Tuesday, Tom Thibodeau became the latest coach to learn that lesson the hard way. Yes, it was surprising. This is a coach who led the Knicks to back-to-back 50-win seasons. Four playoff series wins in the last three years, when the franchise had managed just one since 2000 before Thibodeau arrived. Players vouched for him. Reports painted a locker room that still believed in his leadership. And yet, here we are. Thibodeau is out.

From Donovan Mitchell’s Instagram story within the hour of him being on campus at the University of Texas at Austin. https://t.co/8npFGf87Mp

So far this year, Donovan Mitchell has visited Vanderbilt, the University of Southern California, and Texas — the latter 2 recently in the offseason. Those are the 3 colleges of the Core 4. Feels like more than a coincidence. It feels like an unwavering belief in his guys to me
