NBA Rumors: Cavs Success Has Players Telling Agents They 'Want to Play in Cleveland'

The surging Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly becoming a hot spot for players around the NBA.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst said Tuesday that he's heard from multiple agents whose players are interested in going to Cleveland.

"Something interesting has happened this year with the Cavs, I've had multiple agents tell me that their players want to play in Cleveland," Windhorst said on ESPN Cleveland. "Part of it is because they know that Dan Gilbert will spend money and that if they trade for their client, their client can get paid. Part of it is they like the way the Cavs are playing, stuff like that. That is an indication to me that they're being well-received. The way they're playing is being well-received."

The Cavs have been one of the most notable young teams on the rise in recent years. They made the playoffs for the first time in the post-LeBron James era two years ago and advanced to the conference semifinals last season.

Now, Cleveland has hit a new high. The Cavaliers started the year 15-0 and recently went on another 12-game winning streak before losing to the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. They currently have the best record in both the Eastern Conference and the NBA at 33-5.

While still unproven, Cleveland has established a new culture of winning that hasn't been present in the Cavs organization since James led them to the NBA Finals year in and year out.

Given their recent success, it's no surprise that players are interested in taking their talents to the Cavaliers.

But as Windhorst mentioned, it's not just Cleveland's on-court success that has sparked interest from players around the league. The Cavaliers take care of their players financially, a feat proven to be true this offseason when Donovan Mitchell inked a three-year, $150.32 million extension.

With how well the Cavs have played this season, it seems things might just get better this offseason if free agents end up flocking to Cleveland. The Cavaliers will look to make their organization even more desirable by closing out the season strong and perhaps competing for a championship later this year.
