The Cavs have been one of the best surprises in the entire NBA this season, and are currently the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 33-21 record in 54 games. 

They have not been to the postseason since 2018 when LeBron James led them to the NBA Finals.    

The addition of LeVert is huge, because he is a 27-years-old and averaging 18.7 points per game this season.
