If they lose to the Lakers tonight- they need to consider making a major trade before the deadline. Time to shake up that line-up.

They dont need to do anything major. The team will be fine with Lebron back, no reason to panic. Everyone wanted to panic about the Miami Heat also saying that trio wasnt going to work

 

This team will need even more patience. They are unlikely to win a title this year and probably unlikely to even win the East. But the talent is there to win a title. Let the pieces grow together this year and build chemistry. Like Lebron mentioned at the beginning of this season all these players pretty much have losing habits. Love, Kyrie, Thompson, Waiters they were all used to losing and didnt know what it was like to play a winning brand. Getting rid of Waiters was addition by subtraction. TT works his ass off on the boards, it's important to keep him in the offseason

A couple of things are different. Cavs have a rookie coach and average gm that has no control over Lebron who is basically acting as their de facto GM/HC atm. Spols and Riley were an underrated aspect of Miami's success.Chris Bosh was also a highly underrated component of why they won games whereas Love is currently showing how he has been overrated (although they are not using him correctly in offensive sets) Lebron is also now 4 years older and has played more NBA basketball than anyone in the history of the game at his age. Assuming that he really had to rest his back and knees it's not a good sign (especially if in addition to that you believe the conspiracy theorists who believe he has been using HGH which is now tested for for year). Nobody is calling him on it but he's been coasting on defense this year. If they are going to implement a trapping defense like Miami had going he just can't do that.

 

Tristan Thompson their so called "glue guy" also just turned down a 13 mil p/y for 4 years contract offer. They will be unable to keep TT and Kevin Love this offseason unless TT signs in the sub 10mil due to their cap situation unless they want to go high into the luxury tax. So it's just not as cut and dry as saying "they'll be fine".
