The Cavs went 44-38 last season but were ultimately ousted in the Play-In Tournament as they lost games to the Brooklyn Nets and Atlanta Hawks. The Cavs had outstanding campaigns from their young core of Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen and will need big contributions from them if they are to take the next step in the NBA Eastern Conference.
In the acquisition of Mitchell, the Cavs traded away five future first round picks and three former first round selections in Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen and Ochai Agbaji.
