"A force in the Eastern Conference and beyond" - NBA insider describes the future for Cleveland Cavaliers, says they have a bunch of All-Star players and their chemistry will remain for a long time
The Cleveland Cavaliers are gearing up to compete for the title in the 2022-23 NBA season. The franchise has reportedly bolstered its roster with the signing of Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell. While the franchise is yet to officially announce the trade, 'The Forest City' fans are stoked with the news.
ESPN's NBA insider, Adrian Wojnarowski, seems to believe that the Cavs are a force to reckon with not just in the Eastern Conference but in the entire league. He argued that the team could have as many as four young All-Stars in their ranks going into the upcoming season.
With the bulk of the team being young, Wojnarowski feels the franchise will be able to compete for a long time.
"This is a team that may have as many as four All-Star caliber players and they're young," Wojnarowski said. "[They're] not only going to be really good now, they are built to be really good for a very long time. A force in the Eastern Conference and beyond."
