I think they potentially got better than they’ve been playing, if only for the lack of chemistry/enthusiasm the team had playing with each other.
However, their ceiling was lowered because (a big) if IT came anywhere close to what he was the last few seasons here, they have another go to scorer. Now, they have LeBron with Love and a whole bunch of role players.
Sounds a lot like the old Cavs pre-LeBron-Exodus-I.
LeBron and guys like Mo Williams, Daniel Gibson, Anderson Varejao, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Delonte West, etc. that are good support for LeBron but not guys who can take over.
Oh, and Lue is terrible and if given a decade wouldn’t be able to make this team gel quickly enough.
