Without LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers have not been that successful of a franchise, but they are starting to change that narrative this NBA season. Over halfway through the 2021-22 NBA season, the Cavaliers find themselves 27-19 and not only as the current sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, but they are just 2.5 games back from first place in the conference!

The Cleveland Cavaliers find themselves as a sneaky good team in the NBA this season, but they will need to be willing to make some moves ahead of the trade deadline this season if they are to continue the success they have been having on the floor.
