Кливлэнд Кавальерс өнгөрсөн улиралд Дорнод бүсийн финалд шалгарсан ч ирэх улиралд илүү хүнд сорилттой тулгарах төлөвтэй байна.
Кливлэнд Кавальерс өнгөрсөн улиралд Дорнод бүсийн финалд үлдсэн ч энэ удаад өрсөлдөгчдийн хүчирхэгжилээс шалтгаалан зам нь улам бүр төвөгтэй болох нь тодорхой байна. Индиана Пэйсерс Тайрис Халибуртоны эргэн ирэлтээр хүчирхэгжих бол Нью-Йорк Никс гарааны тавт бүрэн бүрэлдэхүүнээ хадгалж үлдэхээр байна.
Майами Хит Жаннис Адетокунбог эгнээндээ нэгтгэж, түүнийг Бэм Адебайотой хослуулснаар аварга авах боломжтой багийн тоонд эргэн орлоо. Филадельфи 76ers Пол Жоржийг Жэйлен Браунаар сольсон нь тэднийг бүсийн гол фаворитуудын нэг болголоо. Торонто Рэпторс Кавай Леонардыг Брэндон Ингрэмээр сольж, багийнхаа довтолгоо болон хамгаалалтыг мэдэгдэхүйц сайжруулсан байна.
Бостон Сэлтикс Жэйлен Брауныг алдсан ч тэднийг дутуу үнэлж болохгүй юм. Улирлын өмнөх наймаанууд дунд Дорнод бүсийн аль баг хамгийн их сайжирсныг тогтоох судалгаанд оролцохыг уншигчдадаа уриалж байна. 2026 оны гуравдугаар сарын 08-нд болсон Бостон Сэлтикс болон Кливлэнд Кавальерс багуудын тоглолтод Бостон Сэлтикс 109-98-ийн харьцаатайгаар ялалт байгуулсан билээ.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cavaliers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The Cleveland Cavaliers made it to the Eastern Conference Finals last season, but they may have a more difficult road to get there this upcoming season. Several teams in the East have improved, the Indiana Pacers should be back to being a contender with the assumed return of Tyrese Haliburton, and the New York Knicks are expected to have their entire starting lineup back next season.
To keep things simple, we’re going to focus on the teams that improved through outside moves. Let’s get into the four options for the survey.
The Miami Heat vaulted back into the periphery of the title conversation by trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo. There’s reasons to be skeptical about the type of team they can assemble around him during his first season, but there’s no denying that a front court of him and Bam Adebayo is a pretty good place to start building from.
The Philadelphia 76ers may be the biggest winners of the offseason so far. Swapping out Paul George for Jaylen Brown is an immediate win. That should put them in the running to be one of the favorites to come out of the conference.
The Toronto Raptors aren’t getting as much buzz as Philadelphia, but have a solid argument that they’re a better team. The group that the Cavs faced in the first round last season was formidable. Replacing Kawhi Leonard with Brandon Ingram is a massive upgrade on both sides of the floor. There are questions about Leonard’s health, but if he’s on the court, the fit should be phenomenal.
Lastly, it’s worth talking about the Boston Celtics here. Even though they’re rightly viewed as losers of the offseason with the Brown trade, the Celtics always seem to get much more out of the roster than many on the outside anticipate. Maybe Brad Stevens knows something that we don’t.
With that backdrop, which of the Cavs’ opponents improved most this offseason? Let us know in the survey and tell us why you voted how you did in the comments.
