UPDATE: LeBron to Cleveland

Cleveland with LeBron James won the one seed in 09 and 10 and their roster is way better now...

I don't think they'll win titles right away but they'll be damn good

KG wasn't healthy either of those years; Boston was still the better team
 
 
I just see Chicago and Indy being better

He'll be wrong. UD, Bosh & Wade all opted out. Bron isn't going to screw them over like that. He's never even met with Blatt.

Ok sir, what was that you were saying???

The fact that he told Sports Illustrated his decision instead of ESPN makes me lel pretty hard.  

 

[jonathanlambert33]

We were discussing it the other day in the admin lounge, but Cleveland won't win a title, even with LeBron. Atleast not this season or next. They'll need Love.

 

[Hurricane Season]

IDK about winning it all, but they can easily take the east this year.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I wouldn't say that (referring to nola)
 
The biggest problem with the Heat last year in the playoffs was Lebron was the only one who could create offense by handling the ball.
 
Kyrie can easily create his own, and so can Dion.  
 
 
Varejao-James-Wiggins-Waiters-Irving as the stretch lineup is very good. Substitute Wiggins and Waiters for Mike Miller and Ray for 3PT situations... They can definitely do it.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

They'll have a shot at the Finals, but they won't win it. That lineup may look good offensively but it's very very flawed defensively. I also could argue that the lineup wouldn't be as good as one believes offensively either.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Kevin Love isn't going to fix that.

[Hurricane Season]

Is there a scenario that exists where they could actually land Love and keep Wiggins?

 

[RipCity32]

I don't think so. Waiters, Bennett, and a 1st is selling extremely low imo.

 

[Pugz]

wiggy needs to be dealt in a package for love, and then they better keep dion.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Is there a scenario that exists where they could actually land Love and keep Wiggins?

No. I'd say Minny would even take a worse offer than Cleveland's if Wiggins isn't involved.

That Boston team wasn't playing for home court advantage anyways. Counting on KG being healthy late in his career is a stretch.

I could see both Chicago and Indiana being better but it's definitely not impossible that Cleveland is the best team in the East

 

[RipCity32]

Cavs reached out to Ray Allen.
LeBron talked with Mike Miller. 

 

[Hurricane Season]

If the bulls get Melo, the East will pretty much be the central division. Hell, even without Melo.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I can't see Melo going to Chicago. The Knicks aren't going to accept a S&T of Boozer and Dunleavy, which is the only way it would contractually work

 

[buzzy]

Well shit

They could simply amnesty Boozer and find a dump spot for another contact and be good.
