For the third consecutive year, the Cavaliers had the eighth overall pick in the 2001 NBA draft, and selected high school center DeSagana Diop. During the off-season, the team re-acquired former Cavs forward Tyrone Hill and Jumaine Jones from the Philadelphia 76ers, acquired Ricky Davis from the Miami Heat, and signed free agent Bryant Stith. Under new head coach John Lucas, the Cavaliers got off to a horrible start losing nine of their first eleven games, then suffered a 12-game losing streak in January. Hill only played just 26 games due to sore back spasms, and Diop failed to live up to expectations only playing just 18 games due to knee, ankle and foot injuries. The Cavs lost 50 games for the third straight season, finishing 7th in the Central Division with a 29–53 record.

Lamond Murray was the team's leading scorer averaging 16.6 points per game, and Andre Miller averaged a double-double in points and assists, averaging 16.5 points and leading the league with 10.9 assists per game. Following the season, Murray was traded to the Toronto Raptors, while Miller was traded along with Stith to the Los Angeles Clippers, and Wesley Person was dealt to the Memphis Grizzlies.
