The current format of the history - as one large chunk with unclear distinctions between seasons and dates - needs reform. Other team pages have segmented their franchise history into "eras", and I think the same approach would be applicable here. Thoughts? - RfxSi

The first full season with Shawn Kemp proved to be promising with Kemp teamed up with Wesley Person and four rookies (including Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who was injured the entire 1996-1997 season). This is worth mentioning.
What songs are played during the game by the Cavaliers?
They play the "Defense" chant-inspiring theme and its many NBA versions quite frequently.
GIF-formatted logos should be avoided. They are resized down from their original size and then re-encoded into their original format, which doesn't bode well for transparent GIFs. I won't go into technical details, (it should be pretty apparent they suck) so I'll just say optimally they should be uploaded in either PNG or SVG format.

It's nice to see the logos here, but does someone have an image of the ORIGINAL logo? The one with the script "Cleveland" (home) and script "Cavaliers" (away) with the bottom of the "C" undrlining the word and ending in a feather? This is a MUST for inclusion.

There is vandalism towards the end of the "LeBron James Era" section.
The Cavaliers defeated the Chicago Bulls 4–1 in the first round of the 2010 NBA Playoffs but, in a huge upset, lost to the Boston Celtics after leading the series 2-1, with the Celtics proceeding to win 3 consecutive games. This is in accord with the sports law of Cleveland, which states teams are allowed to have a great lineup but only if they disappoint and never win a championship.

I'd like to reach consensus on something just for peace of mind. Should WMMS be mentioned in the Cavs Radio/TV section? They function essentially as the backup for WTAM when there are conflicts with the Indians, and I feel it's worth mentioning because the games have to go somewhere when there's a conflict.

Just a reminder as the History section continues to get expanded that 1) the Manual of Style for titles and subheadings only requires capitalization of proper nouns. The rest of a subheading should not be capitalized. 2) Make sure paragraphs are more than one sentence long. They should be at least three sentences long, with five a more preferable minimum. 3) Not every section needs a subheading. The presence of the current subheadings seems to indicate a separate History of the Cleveland Cavaliers page is needed and the History section here reduced to a somewhat shorter summary. Once you get past three subheadings in a section, it's a sign the section is becoming too large. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 04:24, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
@ Vjmlhds: This was from when the history page was created last year. In short, the history section here is far too large, which is why a separate article was created. Nothing has changed in regards to it being necessary; it's a matter of both being properly maintained. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 15:38, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
@ Vjmlhds: Same reasons as back in May. This time an editor did condense the history section (meaning the two articles are no longer identical), yet you reverted it. This has already been discussed and is standard procedure for articles to create "daughter" articles. When a subheading in an article gets as long as the history section was in this article, it most definitely needs to be its own article, so you summarize the absolute most important parts and leave the finer details to the history article. This goes for cities, schools, teams, etc. Not sure why you felt the need to nominate it for deletion again. There's no time limit on improving an article so the same reasons that existed in May to keep (and you'll recall it was a pretty strong consensus to keep since there are multiple other "History of..." articles for NBA and other professional sports teams, including the Indians and Browns) still exist. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 17:12, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

"Also known as the Cavs" Can we add a /by whom?/ right next to this?
SteelPanMan ( talk) 23:03, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
The writing is good; there is just way too many unnecessary commas.
For example: "The Warriors, coming off an NBA record 73–9 season, started off strong, leading the series 3–1 after game 4." should be changed to "The Warriors, coming off an NBA record 73–9 season started off strong, leading the series 3–1 after game 4."
also "However, the Cavaliers, led by strong play from James and Irving, won the following three games to win the championship." should be changed to "However, the Cavaliers led by strong play from James and Irving won the following three games to win the championship." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexnvans ( talk • contribs) 01:10, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
I added LeBron James to the lede in a list of players called "legends" and, since James is still active, I changed "legends" to "greats." I don't know that this is the best reaction to this issue but I believe this article suffers pretty badly by carrying a three-paragraph lede with mentions of Shaquille O'Neal and Brad Daugherty while omitting James entirely. I said as such in an edit summary and have been twice reverted by User:Sabbatino, who has reverted me twice while declining both times to explain how my reasoning is faulty. Their reason both times is "consensus," which was apparently reached in a discussion I can't find. It would have to be on this talk page but it's not, and if it went to the archives, that means consensus was gained before the Cavs won a championship where James was named Finals MVP.
In their second revert, Sabbatino's edit summary included a claim that has several possible meanings, none of which apply and/or make sense: "There was a CONSENSUS regarding this that active players are not added here." By "here," does that mean this article's lede only? What is it specifically about the Cavs that makes this apply? Does "here" mean a sentence that lists players considered "legends?" This wouldn't be relevant to my edit. Or does "here" mean NBA teams' ledes in general? Because that's not true by a mile and it almost certainly never will be. City Of Silver 20:24, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
Maybe there was other discussions, but Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Basketball_Association/Archive_31#Notable_players_in_team.27s_lede_section was more about someone like Mo Williams not being a legend. Generally, I wouldn't expect recent players to be in a team's lead, but LeBron is a special case. Perhaps we don't need to refer to him as a "legend" given that he is still active, but surely he is notable for the lead having won multiple MVPs with his hometown team before leaving with The Decision, and then returning to lead them to their first championship.— Bagumba ( talk) 13:47, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
I believe a consensus has formed:
I don't think we should add prose about James because, with all the drama surrounding his career, we'd either be overloading the lede or leaving out necessary details. If it's a list, it should be James, Price, Daugherty, and Ilgauskas, in that order, since those are the franchise's all-time best players according to Basketball Reference's Win Shares metric. (And that should be the cutoff because the next three guys on that list are Hot Rod Williams, Larry Nance, and Anderson Varejão.) I replaced the word "legends" with "greats" even though I admit that’s not ideal. "Superstars" is accurate but seems too promotional. What’s a good way to refer to that group of four players? City Of Silver 23:43, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
Can someone please point to a past discussion here or elsewhere, if available, which supports the inclusion of Joe Tait's microphone "commemorative banner" in the section #Retired numbers? I recently removed it for the second time in the last year (?) or so, but Sabbatino pointed out that "We still include it in these tables." I'm okay with that if that's truly the case; I just think it's a little odd to have a "commemorative banner" in the retired numbers section, particularly when the Cavaliers themselves apparently do not refer to it as such. Thanks. Levdr1lp / talk 10:40, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
Why you keep ignoring what is written to you? And why are you being picky over the wording? "Commemorative banner" is a commemorative banner and a "retired number" is a retired number. There are many teams that have commemorative banners hanging in the rafters, which means that those people were important to the franchise and we reflect that here (I said before that those sections should be renamed to reflect it more appropriately). And as for "a substantive response to my point about the lack of sources referring to Tait's banner as a "retired number", or any past relevant consensus" there was no discussion and there appears to be a silent consensus. This is not the first time that you are trying to win "your way" (remember Canton Charge logo?) in an article. – Sabbatino ( talk) 08:58, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
Levdr1lp To put this issue to bed, here is an article detailing 7 NBA announcers who have had their "mics" retired by their respective teams This shows that this is an NBA-wide trend, and that they should be included with retired numbers. If Tait were a one-off, then I can see an issue, but since this is becoming a commonplace occurrence, I don't see any issues. Vjmlhds (talk) 19:19, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
Not sure why there's an issue with the mention of the less-than-stellar aspects of some of the Cavs history. Be careful to avoid WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as a reason for removal, especially since few NBA team articles are FA status or have leads without issues. Further, those negative occurrences are fairly notable aspects that can easily be justified in a general summary of the article, which is what the lead is. I could understand wanting to remove excessive amounts of detail about those two events, but that isn't the case here, and the mentions were reasonably written in an appropriate place. To be honest, the lead could use some expansion to better summarize the entire article. While the reword was a good attempt, it now places the mention of the Stepien Rule in an awkward place that really doesn't make sense or provide any flow. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 23:50, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
Hello, The Cavs new logo should not be put in until their season is finished, as they are still using the current logo with the basketball in it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.229.7 ( talk) 21:33, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
What are the examples of an NBA team article where the "global logo" is different from their primary logo? I've honestly never seen a case like this and the Cavs have never had a "global logo"; they simply used the former "Cleveland Cavaliers" primary logo with the basketball and the sword. Like I said, the press release seems pretty clear and even the guide sheet mentions limitations on the usage of the global shield. The C-Sword is also an icon, but I don't think that makes a difference based on the press release, which just says "Primary". Same for secondary sources, which make no distinction ( CBS Sports and WEWS) and this image from the Cavs which identifies the C-Sword as "The primary logo". The global logo is barely even seen on the Cavs website outside the merchandise section, which is why featuring it on this article seems out of place, at least for now. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 16:51, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

The usage of the term global logo is new, beginning with the Cavalier's black shield logo. Since then, the Pacers' roundel logo has been upgraded from a secondary logo to primary logo. It is clear that Global Logos are becoming what the primary logo's used to be. Let me demonstrate why:
The NBA used to mandate that newly introduced primary logos contain the city/state name in addition to the mascot name. The global logo does this, whereas the new "primary" does not. In this way, the Cav's primary logo has more in common with other team's secondary logos and their Global Logo has more in common with other teams' primary logos (teams that most of which have not used the term global logo in any new marketing).
The Pacers new Global Logo is indeed the logo that is displayed on Wikipedia, not their primary logo of just the P and "pacers."
The Global Logo is what the old primary logo used to be. It includes the entire team name and most busy design. The Cav's primary logo is going to be used often, as it is simple and recognizable. This is in similar practice with other teams' secondary logo.
Sportslogos.net displays every team's primary logo. He recognizes the black shield as the primary because despite the team's arbitrary labeling, it is in-line with the practices of most every other NBA team. If the NBA teams' Wikis are to be most consistent with each other, the black shield logo should be the one used at the top of the page.
Please put back the shield...it has become more front an center in the ensuing years. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:22, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
I'm not opposed to using the "shield" logo as it definitely seems to be used more frequently these days over the c-sword logo. This year's media guide uses the shield logo fairly consistently, as does the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse website, along with what Vjmlhds mentioned as far as the team's website and social media pages. SportsLogos.net also lists the shield logo as the primary. ESPN.com and NBA.com, however, continue to use the c-sword logo to identify the team, but that may be because it's easier to identify as an small web icon. FoxSports.com and SI.com use just the "C" logo, which the Cavs website also uses for its favicon and in some other instances. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 15:13, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

it says wine and gold it needs to be changed to white and gold Arthurpoe ( talk) 12:28, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
I recently viewed the lead for the page and came to the conclusion that it was more than just a bit verbose. Part of the reason I came to this conclusion is that a large majority of the information that the lead goes to some length to describe was immediately described in the next section in the article, 'History'. Because of this, the verbose content in the lead seemed clearly redundant and I feel that the article as a whole would benefit from it being more concise. If anyone finds these arguments flawed, I would encourage you to please reply and discuss the matter here. Thank you. Somethoughtsaboutthings ( talk) 05:47, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
It is hard to understand what you want to change in the lede when you removed almost everything with your last edit.

@ Sabbatino: I see you reverted my edits on this page without being very specific. Nothing I changed drastically altered the page's content, just brought it in line with standards of other league articles. These were not controversial changes, and you don't link to a specific talk section for reverting them--this talk page is very long! Etzedek24 ( talk) 03:33, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
For the sake of uniformity between NBA team articles as part of the WP:NBA manual of style concerning team pages, I'm proposing that the "Hall of Famers" and "Cavs Legends" headings be changed to "Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame members" and "Retired numbers and Cavs Legends". Some larger changes I made were blanket reverted with little explanation, but I noticed that the Cavs Legends section heading was the subject of some discussion. I don't feel that the Naismith change is controversial, and that editing the Cavs Legends heading as I specified will provide more uniformity in the article but still preserve the uniqueness of the Cavs Legends. Etzedek24 ( talk) 03:30, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Why is there no mention of David Blatt anywhere in the article? Signing him (and then releasing him) was a pretty major turning point in franchise history. The first mention of him in the History of the Cleveland Cavaliers article was about the end of his tenure. There's also no mention of Andrew Wiggins in the history article now, and only one mention of Kyrie Irving in the "2014–17: Perennial title contenders" section despite the major role he played.

The current format of the history - as one large chunk with unclear distinctions between seasons and dates - needs reform. Other team pages have segmented their franchise history into "eras", and I think the same approach would be applicable here. Thoughts? - RfxSi

The first full season with Shawn Kemp proved to be promising with Kemp teamed up with Wesley Person and four rookies (including Zydrunas Ilgauskas, who was injured the entire 1996-1997 season). This is worth mentioning.
What songs are played during the game by the Cavaliers?
They play the "Defense" chant-inspiring theme and its many NBA versions quite frequently.
GIF-formatted logos should be avoided. They are resized down from their original size and then re-encoded into their original format, which doesn't bode well for transparent GIFs. I won't go into technical details, (it should be pretty apparent they suck) so I'll just say optimally they should be uploaded in either PNG or SVG format.

There is vandalism towards the end of the "LeBron James Era" section.
The Cavaliers defeated the Chicago Bulls 4–1 in the first round of the 2010 NBA Playoffs but, in a huge upset, lost to the Boston Celtics after leading the series 2-1, with the Celtics proceeding to win 3 consecutive games. This is in accord with the sports law of Cleveland, which states teams are allowed to have a great lineup but only if they disappoint and never win a championship.

I'd like to reach consensus on something just for peace of mind. Should WMMS be mentioned in the Cavs Radio/TV section?

Just a reminder as the History section continues to get expanded that 1) the Manual of Style for titles and subheadings only requires capitalization of proper nouns. The rest of a subheading should not be capitalized. 2) Make sure paragraphs are more than one sentence long. They should be at least three sentences long, with five a more preferable minimum. 3) Not every section needs a subheading. The presence of the current subheadings seems to indicate a separate History of the Cleveland Cavaliers page is needed and the History section here reduced to a somewhat shorter summary. Once you get past three subheadings in a section, it's a sign the section is becoming too large. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 04:24, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
@ Vjmlhds: This was from when the history page was created last year. In short, the history section here is far too large, which is why a separate article was created. Nothing has changed in regards to it being necessary; it's a matter of both being properly maintained. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 15:38, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
@ Vjmlhds: Same reasons as back in May. This time an editor did condense the history section (meaning the two articles are no longer identical), yet you reverted it. This has already been discussed and is standard procedure for articles to create "daughter" articles. When a subheading in an article gets as long as the history section was in this article, it most definitely needs to be its own article, so you summarize the absolute most important parts and leave the finer details to the history article. This goes for cities, schools, teams, etc. Not sure why you felt the need to nominate it for deletion again. There's no time limit on improving an article so the same reasons that existed in May to keep (and you'll recall it was a pretty strong consensus to keep since there are multiple other "History of..." articles for NBA and other professional sports teams, including the Indians and Browns) still exist. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 17:12, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

"Also known as the Cavs" Can we add a /by whom?/ right next to this?
SteelPanMan ( talk) 23:03, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
The writing is good; there is just way too many unnecessary commas.
For example: "The Warriors, coming off an NBA record 73–9 season, started off strong, leading the series 3–1 after game 4." should be changed to "The Warriors, coming off an NBA record 73–9 season started off strong, leading the series 3–1 after game 4."
also "However, the Cavaliers, led by strong play from James and Irving, won the following three games to win the championship." should be changed to "However, the Cavaliers led by strong play from James and Irving won the following three games to win the championship." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexnvans ( talk • contribs) 01:10, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
I added LeBron James to the lede in a list of players called "legends" and, since James is still active, I changed "legends" to "greats." I don't know that this is the best reaction to this issue but I believe this article suffers pretty badly by carrying a three-paragraph lede with mentions of Shaquille O'Neal and Brad Daugherty while omitting James entirely. I said as such in an edit summary and have been twice reverted by User:Sabbatino, who has reverted me twice while declining both times to explain how my reasoning is faulty. Their reason both times is "consensus," which was apparently reached in a discussion I can't find. It would have to be on this talk page but it's not, and if it went to the archives, that means consensus was gained before the Cavs won a championship where James was named Finals MVP.
In their second revert, Sabbatino's edit summary included a claim that has several possible meanings, none of which apply and/or make sense: "There was a CONSENSUS regarding this that active players are not added here." By "here," does that mean this article's lede only? What is it specifically about the Cavs that makes this apply? Does "here" mean a sentence that lists players considered "legends?" This wouldn't be relevant to my edit. Or does "here" mean NBA teams' ledes in general? Because that's not true by a mile and it almost certainly never will be. City Of Silver 20:24, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
Maybe there was other discussions, but Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Basketball_Association/Archive_31#Notable_players_in_team.27s_lede_section was more about someone like Mo Williams not being a legend. Generally, I wouldn't expect recent players to be in a team's lead, but LeBron is a special case. Perhaps we don't need to refer to him as a "legend" given that he is still active, but surely he is notable for the lead having won multiple MVPs with his hometown team before leaving with The Decision, and then returning to lead them to their first championship.— Bagumba ( talk) 13:47, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
I believe a consensus has formed:
I don't think we should add prose about James because, with all the drama surrounding his career, we'd either be overloading the lede or leaving out necessary details. If it's a list, it should be James, Price, Daugherty, and Ilgauskas, in that order, since those are the franchise's all-time best players according to Basketball Reference's Win Shares metric. (And that should be the cutoff because the next three guys on that list are Hot Rod Williams, Larry Nance, and Anderson Varejão.) I replaced the word "legends" with "greats" even though I admit that’s not ideal. "Superstars" is accurate but seems too promotional. What’s a good way to refer to that group of four players? City Of Silver 23:43, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
Can someone please point to a past discussion here or elsewhere, if available, which supports the inclusion of Joe Tait's microphone "commemorative banner" in the section #Retired numbers? I recently removed it for the second time in the last year (?) or so, but Sabbatino pointed out that "We still include it in these tables." I'm okay with that if that's truly the case; I just think it's a little odd to have a "commemorative banner" in the retired numbers section, particularly when the Cavaliers themselves apparently do not refer to it as such. Thanks. Levdr1lp / talk 10:40, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
Why you keep ignoring what is written to you? And why are you being picky over the wording? "Commemorative banner" is a commemorative banner and a "retired number" is a retired number. There are many teams that have commemorative banners hanging in the rafters, which means that those people were important to the franchise and we reflect that here (I said before that those sections should be renamed to reflect it more appropriately). And as for "a substantive response to my point about the lack of sources referring to Tait's banner as a "retired number", or any past relevant consensus" there was no discussion and there appears to be a silent consensus. This is not the first time that you are trying to win "your way" (remember Canton Charge logo?) in an article. – Sabbatino ( talk) 08:58, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
Levdr1lp To put this issue to bed, here is an article detailing 7 NBA announcers who have had their "mics" retired by their respective teams This shows that this is an NBA-wide trend, and that they should be included with retired numbers. If Tait were a one-off, then I can see an issue, but since this is becoming a commonplace occurrence, I don't see any issues. Vjmlhds (talk) 19:19, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
Not sure why there's an issue with the mention of the less-than-stellar aspects of some of the Cavs history. Be careful to avoid WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as a reason for removal, especially since few NBA team articles are FA status or have leads without issues. Further, those negative occurrences are fairly notable aspects that can easily be justified in a general summary of the article, which is what the lead is. I could understand wanting to remove excessive amounts of detail about those two events, but that isn't the case here, and the mentions were reasonably written in an appropriate place. To be honest, the lead could use some expansion to better summarize the entire article. While the reword was a good attempt, it now places the mention of the Stepien Rule in an awkward place that really doesn't make sense or provide any flow. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 23:50, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
Hello, The Cavs new logo should not be put in until their season is finished, as they are still using the current logo with the basketball in it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.229.7 ( talk) 21:33, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
What are the examples of an NBA team article where the "global logo" is different from their primary logo? I've honestly never seen a case like this and the Cavs have never had a "global logo"; they simply used the former "Cleveland Cavaliers" primary logo with the basketball and the sword. Like I said, the press release seems pretty clear and even the guide sheet mentions limitations on the usage of the global shield. The C-Sword is also an icon, but I don't think that makes a difference based on the press release, which just says "Primary". Same for secondary sources, which make no distinction ( CBS Sports and WEWS) and this image from the Cavs which identifies the C-Sword as "The primary logo". The global logo is barely even seen on the Cavs website outside the merchandise section, which is why featuring it on this article seems out of place, at least for now. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 16:51, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

The usage of the term global logo is new, beginning with the Cavalier's black shield logo. Since then, the Pacers' roundel logo has been upgraded from a secondary logo to primary logo. It is clear that Global Logos are becoming what the primary logo's used to be. Let me demonstrate why:
The NBA used to mandate that newly introduced primary logos contain the city/state name in addition to the mascot name. The global logo does this, whereas the new "primary" does not. In this way, the Cav's primary logo has more in common with other team's secondary logos and their Global Logo has more in common with other teams' primary logos (teams that most of which have not used the term global logo in any new marketing).
The Pacers new Global Logo is indeed the logo that is displayed on Wikipedia, not their primary logo of just the P and "pacers."
The Global Logo is what the old primary logo used to be. It includes the entire team name and most busy design. The Cav's primary logo is going to be used often, as it is simple and recognizable. This is in similar practice with other teams' secondary logo.
Sportslogos.net displays every team's primary logo. He recognizes the black shield as the primary because despite the team's arbitrary labeling, it is in-line with the practices of most every other NBA team. If the NBA teams' Wikis are to be most consistent with each other, the black shield logo should be the one used at the top of the page.
Please put back the shield...it has become more front an center in the ensuing years. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:22, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
I'm not opposed to using the "shield" logo as it definitely seems to be used more frequently these days over the c-sword logo. This year's media guide uses the shield logo fairly consistently, as does the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse website, along with what Vjmlhds mentioned as far as the team's website and social media pages. SportsLogos.net also lists the shield logo as the primary. ESPN.com and NBA.com, however, continue to use the c-sword logo to identify the team, but that may be because it's easier to identify as an small web icon. FoxSports.com and SI.com use just the "C" logo, which the Cavs website also uses for its favicon and in some other instances. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 15:13, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

I recently viewed the lead for the page and came to the conclusion that it was more than just a bit verbose. Part of the reason I came to this conclusion is that a large majority of the information that the lead goes to some length to describe was immediately described in the next section in the article, 'History'. Because of this, the verbose content in the lead seemed clearly redundant and I feel that the article as a whole would benefit from it being more concise. If anyone finds these arguments flawed, I would encourage you to please reply and discuss the matter here. Thank you. Somethoughtsaboutthings ( talk) 05:47, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

@ Sabbatino: I see you reverted my edits on this page without being very specific.

For the sake of uniformity between NBA team articles as part of the WP:NBA manual of style concerning team pages, I'm proposing that the "Hall of Famers" and "Cavs Legends" headings be changed to "Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame members" and "Retired numbers and Cavs Legends". Some larger changes I made were blanket reverted with little explanation, but I noticed that the Cavs Legends section heading was the subject of some discussion. I don't feel that the Naismith change is controversial, and that editing the Cavs Legends heading as I specified will provide more uniformity in the article but still preserve the uniqueness of the Cavs Legends. Etzedek24 ( talk) 03:30, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Why is there no mention of David Blatt anywhere in the article? Signing him (and then releasing him) was a pretty major turning point in franchise history. The first mention of him in the History of the Cleveland Cavaliers article was about the end of his tenure. There's also no mention of Andrew Wiggins in the history article now, and only one mention of Kyrie Irving in the "2014–17: Perennial title contenders" section despite the major role he played.
