What would you consider a successful offseason?

As stated in the title, I’m curious what everyone would consider a successful offseason?:

- we get LeBron?
- we get Kuminga?
- we get another player or a combination of new players?
- if we don’t get anyone new, is that okay, do you think running it back we could win it all?

Also, if we did get LeBron, would that help with beating the Knicks? Who would guard Brunson?

2026 NBA draft grades: Winners, losers for all 30 teams


Cleveland Cavaliers: B-
Round 2: Meleek Thomas (34)
Thomas is a gunner who spent most of his time at Arkansas preparing to take his next shot rather than worrying about his defensive assignments.
Cleveland is a decent place to land for a player with that profile given its staunch backline defense, and his knockdown three-point shooting could help reinvigorate the Cavaliers' perimeter attack.
Cleveland ranked second in three-point percentage during the 2024-25 campaign before dropping to 13th last season.

Jared Verse Highlights

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t too familiar with Verse’s game, but there’s plenty to get excited about with him. Also, he’s a local Ohio guy!

Interesting stats with PFF, Verse had an PFF overall grade of 86.2 his first year (9th out of all DE’s) and an overall grade of 83.9 his second year (11th out of all DE’s).

For comparison, Garrett had an 80 overall 1st year (25th out of all DE’s) and 86.9 overall 2nd year (13th out of all DE’s).

“They have $33m left to spend, they might not look to invest this all in 2026 as it doesn't make sense to spend for the sake of it if the talent is there.”

Of the record-tying 17 wideouts drafted in first three rounds, how many will have at least one 1,000-yard season in the next five seasons? ... Reid: I also think three. Tate and Tyson have clear paths to a lot of targets right away, but another I will throw in there is KC Concepcion. I believe the Browns' first-rounder has upside as a WR1 in the future.

Also:

Who was the best value pick in Round 2?

... Reid: The Browns getting McNeil-Warren with the No. 58 pick is one of the biggest steals of the draft, as many thought the safety could've been a top-25 pick entering the week....

What is the most questionable QB landing spot?

Miller: Taylen Green to the Browns. Green is a fantastic all-around athlete with a rare combination of arm strength and running ability, and he's a fine fit in Todd Monken's offense. The question here is why the Browns felt the need to add a quarterback. Green joins a depth chart that features Deshaun Watson and two draft picks from last year (Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel).

In five years, we're all going to wonder why ___ fell in the draft

Reid: McNeil-Warren. I'm confused why he fell to the latter part of Round 2. He has good size, is versatile on the back end and has the ball production to match. He also went to the perfect spot, as Cleveland already has excellent defensive backs, which will free McNeil-Warren up to wear multiple hats in the secondary.
