Very interesting deals but I don't think it makes one difference for this season. Best scenario for Cavs after the deals is that the new team gels in time for the playoffs and makes a run to the Finals where they fall against the Warriors. Maybe the Rockets have something to say about it. Either way Cleveland's best case scenario is to make it to the Finals. But these upgrades aren't enough to beat the best in the west. It does however, set the Cavs up much better for the future. LeBron could possibly be gone again in free agency this off-season and the Cavs were able to hang on to their 1st Round pick which will be very valuable this off-season. They are now much better prepared should LeBron depart. The moves make it interesting but ultimately I don't think it helps the Cavs chances much for this season.
