Altman: Cavs built for 'sustainable run' despite missing on LeBron

Koby Altman’s remarks underline that the Cavaliers are concentrating on a long‑term plan rather than reacting to LeBron James’ decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers. By emphasizing a "sustainable run," Altman signals that the organization’s strategy does not hinge on a single marquee player.

LeBron James now adds his 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game to a Sixers squad that sits at 45‑37, seventh in the Eastern Conference and ranked 19th in the league’s power rankings. The Sixers have a net rating of –0.1 and have gone 6‑4 in their last ten games. Watching how James integrates with a team that is already in a playoff position will be key to assessing the impact of his move on the Eastern race.
