NBA: 1 thing that every team should be grateful for this Thanksgiving

Cleveland Cavaliers

What to be grateful for: A rejuvenated Donovan Mitchell

The Cleveland Cavaliers should be grateful that they got a rejuvenated Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz. The Cavs went all-in on this core with the acquisition of Mitchell and it has paid off. The Cavs appear to be a team that will have the chance to make a deep run in the playoffs this season.

Cleveland has the right mix of young, budding talent and veteran-laden players on the roster. That was one of the biggest questions that the Cavs enter this season with. At least for now, I believe they’ve answered some of those concerns.

Even though the Cavs have hit a rough stretch over the last couple of weeks, their hot start to the season tells us everything we need to know about this team’s potential. They’re still figuring things out but the talent is there for the Cavs to make a jump up the Eastern Conference hierarchy.
