Everyone knows the Cavs need to get LeBron help, and that last year's trade with Chicago didn't do the trick. But I haven't heard about them doing anything. Are they that much up against the cap or the luxury tax threshold? I know Wallace's deal doesn't help, and LeBron's being paid what he is, but if I were them, I would be throwing money at restricted FAs at the least if I had the money/cap room to spend.

And they need to do all of that while also making sure that they have the money to offer LeBron a max contract in 2010.
