Who should the Cavs fear the most?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cleveland Cavaliers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
It’s time to poll Cavs fans again. Last week, we asked you about LeBron James and Lonzo Ball. Now, we want to know what else the Cavaliers can do to improve.
Cleveland’s been busy this summer. They’ve already added two new pieces in Ball and Larry Nance Jr — but do they need another trade to complete this roster? We want to know your thoughts.
Zooming out to the rest of the conference, who poses the biggest threat to the Cavaliers next year? FanDuel has the New York Knicks as the favorites to win the Eastern Conference, with Cleveland as the closest runner-up.
The Knicks made it all the way to the Conference Finals last year before succumbing to Indiana. Now, the Pacers are out of the race. New York is expected to make another deep playoff run with the addition of sparkplug scorer Jordan Clarkson.
The Orlando Magic should be watched, as well. They’ve done their best to address their lack of scoring by trading for Desmond Bane.
Finally, the Hawks have retooled their entire roster behind moves for Kristaps Porzingis and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Will they be able to make a leap next season?
Or, maybe you believe in a different team. The Detroit Pistons could take another step forward. Perhaps the Milwaukee Bucks are back in the mix? FanDuel has the Philadelphia 76ers as the fifth most likely team to win the conference. Do you buy into those odds?
