The 2020–21 Cleveland Cavaliers seCleveland Cavaliers ason changed into Cleveland Cavaliers the 51st season of the franchise in the NCleveland Cavaliers Cleveland Cavaliers ational Basketball Association (NBA). They did now not make it to the playoffs for the third season in a row.[1]Draft[edit]
Before the start of the 2020 NBA draft length, the Cavaliers’ selection became at the beginning held as the #3 selection due to them finishing their preceding season with the third worst document within the NBA (simplest in advance of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors) earlier than the NBA suspended their season on March 12 and ultimately cancelled Cleveland’s season on June 5.[2] Like Minnesota and Golden State, Cleveland held the fine odds to jump up to the #1 select within the 2020 NBA draft lottery, though the Cavaliers should have fallen as low as the Cleveland Cleveland Cavaliers Cavaliers #6 Cleveland Cavaliers pick out. However, unlike Minnesota and Golden State, Cleveland did no longer live inside the top three; their first-spherical choose rather dropped right down to the 5th choice of the draft. The Cavaliers did not have a second spherical choice.[three]Trades[edit]
On January 13, 2021, the Cavaliers have been part of a blockbuster four crew exchange.As part of the deal which was headlined by way of James Harden going to the Brooklyn Nets, the Cavs acquired middle Jarrett Allen and forward Taurean Prince from Brooklyn, at the same time as sending guard Dante Exum and a 2022 first round draft pick to the Houston Rockets.[four]
On January 22, 2021, the Cavaliers traded disgruntled small forward Kevin Porter Jr. to the Rockets for a fantastically-included future 2nd-round pick out.[five]Roster[edit]2020–21 Cleveland Cavaliers rosterPlayersCoachesPos.No.NameHeightWeightDOB (YYYY-MM-DD)FromC31Allen, Jarrett6 ft eleven in (2.eleven m)243 lb (a hundred and ten kg)1998-04-21TexasG18Dellavedova, Matthew 6 ft Cleveland Cavaliers three in (1.ninety one m)200 lb (ninety one kg)1990-09-08Saint Mary’sG21Dotson, Damyean6 feet five in (1.ninety six m)210 lb (95 kg)1994-05-06HoustonG10Garland, Darius6 toes 1 in (1.85 m)192 lb (87 kg)2000-01-26VanderbiltC55Hartenstein, Cleveland Cavaliers Isaiah7 toes zero in (2.13 m)250 lb (113 kg)1998-05-05GermanyF/C27Kabengele, Mfiondu6 feet 10 in (2.08 m)250 lb (113 kg)1997-08-14Florida StateF/C0Love, Kevin6 ft eight in (2.03 m)251 lb (114 kg)1988-09-07UCLAG3Martin, Jeremiah (TW)6 feet 2 in (1.88 m)185 lb (eighty four kg)1996-06-19MemphisF/C22Nance, Larry 6 feet 7 in (2.01 m)245 lb (111 kg)1993-01-01WyomingG/F35Okoro, Isaac6 toes 5 in (1.ninety six m)225 lb (102 kg)2001-01-26AuburnF16Osman, Cedi6 feet 7 in (2.01 m)230 lb (104 kg)1995-04-08TurkeyF12Prince, Taurean 6 feet 7 in (2.01 m)218 lb (ninety nine kg)1994-03-22BaylorG2Sexton, Collin6 ft 1 in (1.eighty five m)a hundred ninety lb (86 kg)1999-01-04AlabamaF8Stevens, Lamar6 toes 6 in (1.98 m)230 lb (104 kg)1997-07-09Penn StateG33Thomas, Cleveland Cavaliers Brodric (TW)6 toes five in (1.ninety six m)185 lb (eighty four kg)1997-01-28Truman Cleveland Cavaliers StateF32Wade, Dean6 feet 9 in (2.06 m)228 lb (103 kg)1996-eleven-20Kansas StateG/F9Windler, Dylan 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m)196 lb (89 kg)1996-09-22BelmontHead Cleveland Cavaliers train
