CLE looks pretty good

Irving/??
Waiters/Gee
Bennett/Miles
Varejao/Thompson
Bynum/Zeller

They're pretty young and should also compete for a playoff spot if Bynum, Varejao & Irving can stay healthy.

they'll looking pretty good.
A healthy bynum and varejao would really transform that team.
Not sure if bennett will last at SF though. Either way they've got talent though

I think bringing back Brown was a very smart move on their part. They also need a pt guard. If I were them I'd be would be trying to add Billups. Then Again if I was Dumars, I'd be trying for Billups, Teague, or Miller!!

They've signed Jarrett Jack as a back up point guard. They've got a good deep team if they can stay healthy

Yeah, if healthy - they're another team better than us. So that's a sure six ahead of us.

Cleveland won't be healthy. I guarantee that they'll lose Bynum, Kyrie, Varejao and Waiters for extended periods of time next season.

Cleveland had a better team than us on paper last year too, heck, probably the year before last too.

They don't keep it together well.

They do look pretty good if Varejao & Bynum can stay healthy. I like our starting frontcourt better. They have the better backcourt by far. I really hope Pope turns out to be a stud!

This is their answer!?! :lol:

He wouldn't work out for any teams. Why? Because he can't play! The Cavs have the most fragile team under 30 in the league. Bynum, Irving and Bennett are brittle and break. Verajao isn't any better, but at least he made it to his 30's.

This team won't be able to stay healthy long enough to do anything of note.

They're just pretending like they're not gonna tank

The Cavs, like their fans, are and will always be pathetic. Can't wait til Kyrie leaves them

There is no way Bennett is playing SF, that dude is so fat and his entire game is PF

Wow there's a lot of hate In here...
I guess that's one thing the Pistons and other lottery teams have In common...They are completely helpless and Ignorant to any given situation that doesn't involve their team. But hey at least were not Detroit :lol:

So if we were OKC fans, or Miami fans we'd know everything about every other team? That makes sense. And every impact player on your team is completely injury prone. If none of your players had injury histories, then yeah, very good team. But Kyrie, Bynum, Varejao, Bennett, Waiters, etc. have all had injury problems. Bynum, your only major addition has had HORRIBLE injury history and doesn't even care about playing anymore. He didn't even play last season. This one will be no different.
