Cavaliers Re-sign Harden on 3-Year, $97M Deal, Add Peyton Watson

James Harden has re-signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers on a three-year, $97 million contract featuring a third-year option and a 15% trade kicker, while the Cavs also add Peyton Watson on a four-year, $88 million sign-and-trade deal. Harden, who turns 37 next week, helped Cleveland reach the Eastern Conference finals after being acquired from the Clippers in February, and his return — alongside Donovan Mitchell’s new extension — keeps the team in title contention as they navigate cap space and roster upgrades. Harden’s career earnings now exceed $511 million.

Cleveland Stands By Kenny Atkinson After East Finals Run

Cleveland Stands By Kenny Atkinson After East Finals Run

The Cavaliers will retain head coach Kenny Atkinson after a Knicks sweep in the Eastern Conference finals, with no major front-office changes planned and a full season review of the roster underway. Atkinson, who has three seasons left on his contract and earned NBA Coach of the Year in 2025, guided Cleveland to its first East finals since 2018 but faces questions over late-game decisions as the team—arguably the NBA’s most expensive roster—navigates future moves around stars like Donovan Mitchell and James Harden, while owner Dan Gilbert signals a continued push to build on the breakthrough postseason run.

Hard offseason ahead for Cavs after Knicks sweep

The Cavaliers’ pursuit of a championship stalled with a 4‑0 series loss to the Knicks, exposing a gap between their talent and true title contention. Donovan Mitchell drew top defensive pressure and struggled to carry the offense, especially when paired with Harden, whose backcourt pairing with Mitchell didn’t gel in the postseason. With a disappointing regular season and aging pieces, Cleveland faces tough summer choices—pursue a blockbuster upgrade, lure a former star back, or retool around Mitchell—to avoid a repeat of this postseason outcome.

Harden pledges to do whatever it takes to keep Cavaliers’ title dream alive

James Harden, about to turn 37, says he’ll do whatever it takes to win with the Cavaliers in 2026-27, including playing off the ball. After a midseason trade, he averaged 20.5 points and 7.7 assists in 26 regular-season games for Cleveland but struggled more in the East finals as the Cavs were swept. Harden reiterated his desire to stay with Cleveland, noting a 2026-27 $42.3 million player option (or an opt-out toward a two-year, roughly $56 million deal) and hoping for roster upgrades to maximize the team’s championship window while planning a full training camp.

Gilbert delivers blunt verdict as Cavs’ season ends with Knicks sweep

The Cleveland Cavaliers were swept by the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, ending their season. Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert posted a stern message on X saying the team isn’t where it needs to be and pledging to grind over the summer to take the next step. The Cavs, who had the league’s top payroll and a roster led by Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley, briefly added James Harden at the trade deadline but fell short. Mitchell called the loss a learning lesson, Harden expressed openness to returning in free agency, and the franchise now looks to rebuild and push for sustained advancement next season.

Cavaliers Eye LeBron Reunion for a Title Run

After Cleveland’s playoff exit and a lopsided conference finals, SI writer Chris Mannix argues the Cavaliers should pursue a LeBron James return to chase another title, despite cap hurdles and uncertain interest. He outlines potential moves—restructuring Harden’s contract, exploring a Mobley–Giannis swap, and leveraging draft assets—while Donovan Mitchell commits to staying and helping the cause. Though James is likely to re-sign with the Lakers, a storybook Cleveland reunion would be a cinematic finish to his career.

Knicks clinch Finals berth with rout of Cavaliers, first since 1999

The New York Knicks buried the Cleveland Cavaliers 130-93 to sweep the Eastern Conference finals and reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. Karl-Anthony Towns posted 19 points and 14 rebounds, Landry Shamet chipped in 16 off the bench, and Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges each scored 15 as New York pulled away early and rested its starters late. Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland with 31 points, but the Cavaliers were swept in a postseason series for the first time since 2018. New York will face either the Oklahoma City Thunder or San Antonio Spurs in the Finals, which begin June 3, in what would be coach Mike Brown’s second Finals appearance.

Knicks Take Command as Cavs Stand on the Brink of Elimination

The Cavaliers fall behind 0-3 in the series after a Game 3 loss to the Knicks, with Donovan Mitchell’s 23 points coming on an inefficient night marred by five turnovers and a team-worst minus-22. While Jarrett Allen provides interior value and Max Strus offers energy, Cleveland gets little else from the supporting cast as Harden fades after a strong first half and several role players struggle to contribute, leaving the Cavs facing elimination.

Mitchell: Cavs blew Game 1 collapse vs Knicks

Donovan Mitchell was blunt after Cleveland squandered a 22-point fourth-quarter lead in a 115-104 OT loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, declaring, 'we f--king blew it.' New York staged a 44-11 run in the final 12:45 (including overtime) to flip the game, with Jalen Brunson scoring 38 while Mitchell had 29 and Evan Mobley 15 points with 14 rebounds. Cleveland will study the film and look to rebound in Game 2 in New York.
