Now the Lakers have no shot but bring in Paul George, resign their useful younger role players, and another piece or two and you have a team.

Objectively speaking it makes no sense for Bron to leave to go to west because of competition but everyone said Bron wouldn't leave and he did.

Evidence thus far:

Bron called LA home on twitter
Dan Gilbert is a Trump supporter
LA is better to build his brand
Bron hates Trump
DG fired Griff
DG signed off on trading Ky instead of keeping him

As a Cavs fan I just want the team to make the playoffs and everything after that is just extra barbecue sauce on my ribs. Celts aren't deep enough now but they have enough pieces to pick up whatever they need during the season.

Look at the injury history of the Cavs roster. Odds are Wade misses significant time. Love is due for an injury or two. DRose plays a max of 62 games. IT isn't cleared until January. Calderon is a cap space eater. Bron is past Kobe's pace at the same point in history of their respective careers. In other words, the Cavs are far from a lock to make the finals. We damn sure aren't getting the first seed.
