Yea I think from year one the Cavs will compete for coming out of the East, probably with the Bulls if Rose is healthy or the Pacers if they can get Hibbert back to 80% of 2013. But it may be 2-3 years until they compete with the Western conference. There's just so many good teams over there, I see them winning the championship the next 2-3 years easily.Some are acting like LeBron is gonna be playing with the damn junior varsity squad from St. Vincent-St. Mary if he goes to the Cavs. Just because the guys are young doesn't mean they're gonna be deer in the headlights on the court.
Another sleeper team is Philly. If they hit on all of their picks (Noel, Embiid, and that Euro dude who they stashed overseas, plus whoever they'll get top 5 next year), they'll be lights out in 5 years. Assuming it would include trades though since they have no guards outside of MCW.

They don't know what they want or what they think....they apparently believed the "not 6, not 7" and thought this team would stay together forever. But I will say, even if they don't trade for Love or whatever, a team of James, Irving, Waiters, Wiggins, Thompson, Varejo, Bennett, and Ray Allen (assuming he comes) is a frontrunner in the East immediately.
