Bottom line... Cavs own the Eastern Conference for the next decade... the only forseeable threat being some earth-shattering trades creating another powerhouse (like Boston getting Kevin Durant in 2016) or Philly reaching their potential.

But Bron, Kyrie and Love doesn't happen without losing Wiggins.  So your Cavs line-up doesn't make sense.  Probably would look more like this:

PG - Kyrie
SG - Kevin Martin
SF - LeBron
PF - Love
C - Varejao
... Bennett, Thompson, Waiters will potentially all be sacrifices as well if they are forced to take on Kevin Martin's contract

That Cavaliers vs Wizards rivalry will be something to see in the ECF.

do you think cleveland will win right away? chemistry issues? bench players? new coach?

Lebron and Kyrie and Love solves all these issues almost immediately

regardless on who's the coach LBJ alone can steam roll his team..
remember his Cavs days, he reached the Finals with Mike Brown just to be trumped by the Spurs..
Amateurs worry about equipment, professionals worry about money, masters worry about light… I just take pictures…

Yep... should win 60+

If the 2008-2010 Celtics and 2010-2014 Heat proved anything... it's that talent beats out chemistry/bench/coach.

Cavs own the East until Philly shows up and challenges them.

the heat got a good transitional offense, spreading the floor for 3's
mike miller going to nuggets, ray allen maybe, james jones maybe

the good thing about the heat is spreading the floor and chasing 3's cole chalmers battier miller bosh wade allen lewis jones lebron all can shoot 3's, they have a good defense double teaming some big man inside, but spurs ball movement, inside and outside shots, the heat has no answer

if the cleveland got a legit back-up pg, d-wade type not waiters, saying that wiggins for love deal, a healthy varejao, but bosh is 3point shooting bigman, which is varejao a scrapper double-double guy, thompson might be better than haslem or beasley as PF, add battier and lewis except 3's, so if you say talents win games than coach problems, cleveland needs more,

remember james got all 3 point shooters around him, hall of famer allen, bosh wade, but still can't win, heat bench are too old for spurs, i'm not sure what cleveland does to fill there roster to be a contender, via bench players nets got the best bench players around there team than cleveland, its a team effort, everyone will contribute, if you compare heat bench players granger mcroberts napier birdman beasley lewis allen don't know who is better, lakers got a good starting 5 with howard but an awful bench players surrounding them

i forgot they got love? still not enough for me

Cleveland or Miami.  Really the only two teams that could realistically win the title, you know whichever one gets James.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip
