The Cleveland Cavaliers are locked in.
As such, they’re only focused on their team and what they can control.
Evan Mobley admitted that he didn’t even know about the Luka Doncic trade until the morning.

Truth be told, he might not be the only one.
Even if the trade was the talk of the hour around the league, some people admitted that they found it hard to believe.
Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers admitted that he thought the trade was AI-generated at first.
ESPN insider Shams Charania, who broke the news late at night, also had to confirm that it was 100% real.
The trade shocked the league to its core, to the extent that people hardly discussed the San Antonio Spurs acquiring De’Aaron Fox and Zach LaVine joining Sacramento.
Then again, the Cavs know what’s at stake for them.
They need to get through the regular season first before worrying about potential foes in the NBA Finals.
That kind of business approach has worked like clockwork for this team.
They have the best record in the league, and they haven’t looked past any opponent.
That’s why even though the Mavs were severely undermanned, they still didn’t take their foot off the gas and routed them with a 43-point win.
