Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Cavaliers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Hello, everyone. It’s been a while since our last Cavaliers Reacts survey. In case you forgot, we ask Cavs fans two questions and poll their answers.

Today, we’re focusing on the concept of change. It’s a New Year. Does that mean we need a new version of the Cavaliers?
Our first question is evergreen. It’s something that’s been asked dozens of times throughout the core-four era. Do the Cavs need to make a major trade?
The pressure to make a trade has only increased over the years. Fans and media members have pointed out the flaws in Cleveland’s roster construction, arguing that the current team is doomed to fall short in the playoffs. On the other hand, one can say that the core four complement and cover for each other’s weaknesses in a way that might be crucial.
Whatever side of the aisle you’re on, let us know! Bonus points if you leave a comment with your ideal trade target.

Our second question concerns coaching. No one is happy that the Cavaliers are just barely above .500 as we approach the midpoint of the season. But do you blame Kenny Atkinson for this fall from grace? Or are there enough external factors that explain Cleveland’s struggles?
Atkinson was the Coach of the Year last season. That type of success should grant you more forgiveness than it historically does in the NBA. Nonetheless, Cleveland has had enough injuries and cold shooting to make you think this could be bigger than coaching. But if you are unhappy with how Atkinson is contributing to the Cavaliers’ 20-17, then leave your vote.
