Franchise history:
The Cleveland Cavaliers joined the NBA for
the 1970-71 season. A franchise that has known its
share of ups and downs, the Cavaliers have scraped
the bottom of the barrel at times, both on and off
the court. Still, after struggling through much of
its first two decades of existence, Cleveland turned
itself around in the late 1980s to become a consistent
Central Division contender.
The Cavs joined the league as part of an expansion
that also included the Portland Trail Blazers and
the Buffalo Braves. Expansion forced the NBA to realign
into two conferences, with two divisions in each.
The Cavs were put in the Central Division along with
the Baltimore Bullets, the Atlanta Hawks and the Cincinnati
Royals.
