On this edition of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham breaks down the GM survey results, debates the Cavaliers’ standing versus rivals like the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers, and questions the league’s assessment of key players—including a hot take on Evan Mobley’s snub from defensive accolades. Key segments cover the impact of Peyton Watson’s under-the-radar acquisition, Meleek Thomas as a draft steal, and why Rocket Arena is earning praise as one of the NBA's toughest home courts.
