[Damian Necronamous]

Here's what the Cavs lineup looked like this year:
12 Bimbo Coles* G 6-2 182
31 Ricky Davis F 6-7 197
52 DeSagana Diop* C 7-0 300
51 Michael Doleac C 6-11 262
32 Tyrone Hill F 6-9 250
11 Zydrunas Ilgauskas C 7-3 260
33 Jumaine Jones F 6-8 218
21 Trajan Langdon G 6-3 197
4 Chris Mihm C-F 7-0 265
24 Andre Miller G 6-2 200
30 Lamond Murray F 6-7 236
1 Wesley Person G-F 6-6 200
8 Brian Skinner F-C 6-9 265
20 Bryant Stith G 6-5 210
3 Jeff Trepagnier* G 6-4 200

With recent moves and these possible changes the Cavs could contend for the Playoffs in a few years:

*=recent move

*In the 2002 NBA Draft the Cavs drafted Dajuan Wagner and Carlos Boozer

*They traded Wesley Person to the Grizzlies for Matt Barnes and Nick Anderson

Trade Andre Miller and Michael Doleac to the Clippers for Chris Wilcox, Corey Maggette and some cash.

Trade Trajan Langdon and Tyrone Hill to the Lakers for Samaki Walker and some cash.

Release Jeff Trepagnier

Here's what the Cavs lineup would look like next season:

C: Ilgauskas/Mihm/Diop (still a log jam at this position)
PF: Wilcox/Boozer/Skinner
SF: Murray/Jones/Barnes
SG: Davis/Anderson/Stith
PG: Wagner/Coles

In a few years, that lineup could contend.:yes:

The ONLY way I see them contending is if Ilgauskas is healthy,they are pretty deep though.
