If we are to get good again, we will have to get lucky and hit gold through the draft. Your 2 years from now, "sign a big FA" just isn't a real scenario for Cleveland. We have never in our teams history signed a big FA, excluding LeBron for obvious reasons. (unless you consider Bynum a big signing) No big name will sign here. It's just a reality for markets like ours.
I agree that we won't get a big name free agent but I think the landscape of the NBA has change alot since the days when we tried to be free agent players, early in LeBron's career. Players want to be part of a superteam and teams rarely can out that together just thru free agency.
It seems Rich Paul has a good relationship with the Cavs. He gave the Cavs a private workout for Garland. Klutch has increasingly become a big player as an agency in recent years. They know Gilbert will spend.
I could see someone in the Middleton or Tobias Harris level think about coming here if we have a good young core that made the playoffs. We probably would have to over pay but I don't think any team is seen as a bad destination anymore especially if the owner is willing to spend.
