Post Disclaimer: This post is not to ruin the excitement of the off season, and the chance for us to lure in Ray Allen, and sign every other great player, but to bring into reality we won't be able to fill all our needs that we need filed to bring us into championship form in one year.
Now, we've seen how championship teams are built. You can look at detroit, both times. L.A. over the decades. Chicago for 6 years. All these teams took time to build through the draft, and develope. Many years to grow together. In reality we have right now on our roster for next year...

We have needs at the center, the point guard, the shooting guard, the bench. We need at least 4 more players added to this roster. We have 20 million in cap room at least. so you can say we have 5 million to spend at each position. BUT, the kicker is we won't be able to fill all these positions in one off season with out a superior G.M. and coach who have decided what kind of team they want to build. The direction of this franchise is at a stand still. Are we a running- no D team made ever so popular by the mavs, and now the suns. Are we a half court muck it up, grind it out ruff D playing team? What are we doing this off season? These are the biggest questions that need to be answered beside the personnel. The blue print of the team needs to be built, and filed. Coaches, adn G.M's need to be positioned. :chuckles:
Now, getting past the 'plan', cleveland has never been able to attract star power via free agency. We now have star power of our own however in LeBron James to help us out in that department though.
Pieces in this puzzle need to fit into place via free agency since we have no draft picks to work with this year. This is another strangle hold put on us by management throwing around draft picks to bring in the marginally talented players. Everything seems to be working against us in C-town. 
With at least 4 needs to fill, more most likely, it will all have to be done by bidding war in the off season. Very rarely are teams able to build themselves in free agency. Free agancy is more where you get to add 1 nice piece MAY BE! It is not a right, let me repaet FREE AGENCY IS NOT A RIGHT, IT'S A PRIVILEDGE! We can only hope we can grab more than one piece to build our team since management has royally screwed us in the draft.
More than likely we'll be looking at another mediocre year next year. Because we have been put in a position where we are going to have to out bid other teams for free agents, this will clog our cap space, and force us to be able to make less moves. We have been left on the out side looking in so to speak, all we can do is hope LeBron is attractive enough to get at least one free agent to build our team on going into next year. It's the baby steps that will get us to where we want to go, we won't be able to sign 5, or 6 free agents like some think. It is nothing more than a pipe dream to even consider it, especially with as marginally talented as this team is, I will be very surprised to see free agents come our way because of how poor this team is all around. Being overlooked it how it's always been, and it may continue to be this way. Teams are built by the draft, it has always been this way, and it won't change now, especially not for us. :thumbdown It may take us several years to reach our goal of a contender because of our poor managerial decision makers, and it more than likely will, but just remember rome was not built in a day, and the patient ones always reap the greatest virtues. :gap:
Wait for '07-'08 :chuckles:
