Halfway Home: Second Half Predictions

[MirORich]

With tonight's win, the Cavs are now halfway through the 2021-2022 NBA Season. At 23-18, we're 8 games up from our 15-26 record at this time last year.

We had a Season Prediction thread back in October. I figured we could do a mid season adjustment predictions thread:

1. Final Record

2. Playoff Seed or Lottery Slot

3. If Cavs make the playoffs, do they advance past round 1.

3. Number of trades made by the trade deadline.

4. Player Cavs receive in a trade.

5. Which role player solidifies a spot in the every game rotation: Lamar Stevens, Dylan Windler, or Dean Wade

6. Do Cavs trade a future 1st round pick in deal before trade deadline?

7. Random prediction (have fun with this one)

8. NBA Champions
