Cleveland minus Lebron?
Honestly, how good would the Cavs be without Lebron? I personally think they'd be by far the worst team in the league.[/list]

I would have to say they would be the worst team ever assembled since they have the worst supporting cast ever put around an elite player. There is no future, just a bunch of scrub ass players. Lebron desperately needs some help but Danny Ferry keeps **** up. The guy has got to be up there with the most incompetent GMs in the NBA.

They are obviously bad, but they aren't the worst supporting cast in the league...
It's hard to explain, but I think it's because what they lack is a scoring punch, and LeBron brings just that. There are more than a few teams you can put LeBron on in place of their best player, and they wouldn't be as good as the Cavs.
The Cavs can grind at other teams, and defensively keep it close enough for LeBron to take over.

No, they really are. Think about it...how many would they score without Lebron? Think about every team in the league and take away their best player, the Cavs are the only team that truly doesn't have a legit #2 option or at least a bunch of young players that could get the fan base excited about the future. After Lebron there is absolutely nothing to be excited about on that team long term. The Cavs hit the lottery getting Lebron and then let Danny Ferry potentially squander their fortune.
With how unbelievably good Lebron is he could be going for his second ring at the age of 23 if Danny Ferry wasn't such a **** up. His supporting cast is chalk full of defensive role players and his side kicks are Delonte West and Daniel Gibson, give me an effing break...

I still don't think they are the very worse. I imagine he would lose more games if he were playing with Telfair, Mccants, Brewer, Gomes, Craig Smith for example.
They lack scoring power, they can defend well, hit the glass hard, and decently spot up shoot....
