They made headlines at the deadline for shortening their championship window by acquiring James Harden for Darius Garland.Cleveland initially held out for LeBron, but as he chose Philadelphia, they scrambled to find another piece. They ended up acquiring Mario Hezonja and Payton Watson, two players who won’t benefit the team too much.The roster got worse, and Harden is aging, making Cleveland a top candidate for regression.MORE:Kawhi Leonard NBA investigation sheds dark cloud on upcoming seasonOrlando MagicApr 29, 2026; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (5) walks off the court after the game against the Detroit Pistons during game five of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Little Caesars Arena.
