8. Cleveland Cavaliers (28-19)

The Cleveland Cavaliers are a mess. One big mess. However, as long as they have LeBron James and Kevin Love on their roster, they’re still a huge player in the Eastern Conference, I don’t care what ‘s happening in their locker room.

As expected, the Cavs are going to be one of the most active teams ahead of the NBA trade deadline. They’ve already been connected to players like George Hill, DeAndre Jordan and Kent Bazemore. How many of them will they land remains to be seen.

Their current roster, however, won’t be the same by the end of the season. Bet on that.
