The Cleveland Cavaliers spent years making marginal moves to improve the team around the core four. Year in and year out, Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, and Evan Mobley played well enough to make the playoffs and not much more.
Just when it seemed that the front office was going to take that same approach, they made a huge splash by acquiring James Harden. Of course, he's no longer at the peak of his powers, but he's still an offensive mastermind.
Harden's impact on the Cavaliers has been as notorious as it's been expedite. It took the team seven games to realize that they have made the right call by choosing him over Garland, who's 10 years younger.
