The Cleveland Cavaliers just coming off the best record in the NBA(61-21) and the franchise's hopes of regaining that status have never looked to glim. Their star, their best player, the league MVP, the King, the face of the franchise, left them in a cloud of dust after well, he took his talents to South Beach, Miami to join D-Wade and Chris Bosh. Cleveland fans would love to forget what LeBron did to them, but what was more meaningful what LeBron James did for the organization or how he left them in a pile of rubble. James took his 2 reigning MVP titles and 28 PPG with him when he packed his bags. Whether you love or hate James and as most Cleveland fans now hate the man, the organization most move on. It will be tough after the way James disrespected and insulted every member of this organization in what may be the most devastating thing that has happened to an NBA team in recent memory. What are the chances Cleveland can revive themselves and find another star to be able to plaster his face all over the city.

When you take away LeBron James and actually dissect the roster, it isn't that good at all. In fact it is probably the worst in the NBA, and we all remember what the Nets did last season. It is pretty much comparable to taking out what's under the hood of a car, you're just left with a pile of scrap metal with wheels, unfortunately it looks like the wheels were also taken from this team.

In the back court, returning is Mo Williams is coming off a season in which he only played 68 games while averaging close to 16 points. Williams has 2 years left on his contract and is probably not in the future plays of Cleveland but moving him will be tough. It is more than likely Williams may attempt more shots that James is gone and he will be bringing up the ball more something he hasn't done in 3 years. Ramon Sessions is a serviceable backup coming over from Minnesota.

At the 2-guard small but lethal Daniel Gibson will be starting, although if the team likes what it sees out of rookie Manny Harris, he could very well be stealing some minutes if he performs. Some think Harris could be better suited as a point guard than a scoring 2-guard, but he may have to make an adjustment here or there. Christian Eyenga another rookie, will be given a chance to show what he can do, he can play either the 2 or the 3 and could very well take over the 3 as it is the teams weakest position

Speaking of the 3, Lebron's position, even though you can say LeBron played all 5 positions for this team, this is the team's glaring weakness with really no options. Jamario Moon is a career back up and Anthony Parker probably won't last past Christmas on the team. Alonzo Gee will be given some minutes and Joey Graham is there too.

At the power forward position may be the only thing fans of Cleveland can hope improves. J.J. Hickson is a lot of scouts and experts pick to carry the team, Hickson has showed flashes of what he can do but should get way more opportunities this season than any. If he succeeds the Cavs may have their first building block. Antawn Jamison isn't getting any younger, he is a shell of what he used to be for Washington and Golden State. Jamison can no longer carry a team, but will see ample time. His stay may be limited.

The center spot is weak enough but we have to talk about Anderson Varejao, a fan favorite, but how good really is he? Pretty much a back up his entire career, shows a lot of heart and energy defensively but I doubt he's sticking around to see the rebuilding process. Ryan Hollins is the man's back up.
