Cavs without Lebron: Worst team in the NBA?
It's kind of startling even for the East, that the reigning conference champ without Lebron can't stay with anyone in the conference. They are getting stomped in every game he's missed. Not close losses. Complete blowouts.
Does this settle at all the notion that Lebron has anything close to resembling real NBA level help? If he moved to any team in the NBA wouldn't he inherently then be on a better team, which would mean a possible championship.
Is there any team that would be this bad without one of their players?

The Timberwolves would probably lose to the LeBron-less Cavs. Same with the Sonics.

^Noob. The Sonics will beat the Lebronless Cavs.
Unless Johan Petro gets extended minutes.

Re: Cavs without Lebron: Worst team in the NBA?
Saw them yesterday. They are pretty terrible wo/ Lebron. The Larry Hughes and Big Z signings were just atrocious, and Gooden got too much money, IMO. Varejao is their 2nd best player, IMO. He's gonna help a bunch now that they've got him back in tow. They would be so much better off wo/ Larry Hughes and Big Z, and w/ AV as the starting Center (then they could run!!!), and anyone but Larry filling his guard spot. Too bad the building around Lebron has been so ****ing horrendous. If you all had some decent young guys, you might be able to get JKidd and make a more legit run at a title this year.

Noob? The Sonics have impressed nobody this year, unless you call 3 wins impressive.

The Cavs would possibly beat the T'Wolves. They're both flat out terrible.

Re: Cavs without Lebron: Worst team in the NBA?
Drew Gooden, Hughes, Illgauskus, whoever. They'd be the worst best player on a team in the league, absolutely yes.

These Cavs are pretty easily the worst.
