Once the NBA Finals are officially over, with the Boston Celtics seemingly on the verge of beating the Dallas Mavericks in the best-of-seven series, the Cleveland Cavaliers will likely become the center of attention in the league outside of the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft on June 26.
After getting beat by the Celtics in the second round of the NBA playoffs in five games, the Cavaliers headed into an offseason filled with uncertainty about the immediate future of the franchise, from head coach J.B. Bickerstaff’s job security to whether the team would trade one or more of their star players.
The Cavaliers didn’t take long to make a decision on Bickerstaff’s future with the team, as they parted ways with him recently and might be on the cusp of hiring James Borrego to be his successor.
As for the star players, the wait continues regarding the team offering Donovan Mitchell a contract extension and whether he’ll sign it, as he could immediately be put on the trade block if he doesn’t.
As for Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, and Darius Garland, it appears the team wants to continue to build around these young players, according to Ashish Mathur of Hoops Wire, via NBACentral.
“The Cavaliers want to continue to build around Garland, Allen, Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. Mitchell is expected to sign a max contract extension with Cleveland this offseason, while Mobley will likely sign a lucrative rookie-scale extension,” Mathur said.
The Cavaliers are reportedly not interested in trading Jarrett Allen for Brandon Ingram and will only consider trading him if he requests a trade, per @AmicoHoops

This situation will likely change throughout the summer as trade offers will likely pour in from around the league.
However, it remains to be seen what the Cavaliers roster will look like heading into the 2024-25 NBA season, as it could look much different moving forward.
