Two big IF's...but IF Bynum is healthy for an entire season and IF Bennett is the ROY...

I just don't believe Bynum will give them a full season

 

If Bynum plays like he did in from 08-11, sure, they'd easily make the playoffs in the East as a 7th or 8th seed. Besides Irving and Bynum their 2-4 are horrible. I can't even name one of their other starters off the top of my head.

 

Lebron is not going to Cleveland lets be realistic here!!

 

More unlikely to happen:

1) Andrew Bynum, Anderson Varejao, and (whom the OP omitted) Kyrie Irving all staying pretty healthy for a whole season.

2) Having all of these talents putting together enough chemistry for a playoff push.

3) LeBron James opts out of swanky 2 or 3 time champion Miami Heat to go back to the downtrodden and dreary Cleveland Cavaliers.

 

Nobody jumps from worst to playoff significance except Larry Bird and Akeem Olajuwon.

 

I don't know why everyone is so set on Lebron returning to Cleveland

 

Disagree, last time I check James Harden lead the youngest team in the NBA to the playoffs in his first season as a starter in the Western Conference.

Irving has YET to get the Cavs close to the 8th seed late in the season....and I know for certain they have never been.

So as of right now Harden > Irving and it really ain't that close imho.

 

Not sure who "everbody" is.....

Most people I've heard talk on the subject think he's more than likely going to stay in Miami, but if he decides to walk it will be back to Cleveland. I have yet to hear anybody say that Cleveland was favored and that person be taken seriously.

What blogs have you been reading? lol

 

Spoiler

She looks like my next ex wife

 

There are plenty of people mentioning him going back to Cleveland and no I'm not talking about a blog.

 

Bynum is not even going to play until at least halfway into the season. That is why the Mavs passed on him. Mavs training staff sai his knees are done and he is really out o shape which proved to them he was not rehabbing correctly. Think about How desperate the Mavs were to get a center after losing out on Bynum and they still chose to not even make him an offer and pay Dalembert instead

 

yes, i know Bennett didnt play yet but that is why we are making predicitions

i think it is safe to assume within 3 years, the #2 pick in the draft will be better than Parsons. yes, not guaranteed but a very good chance

parsons is a very good 4th option. i think Bennett can develop into a good 2nd option

 

Bennet is better than Parsons? ...I don't think Bennet will even start for the Cavs, also I really do not think he can play SF in the NBA...he is a natural power forward that bullies his way. It will adjustment period in his 1st year because of the length and size in the NBA.

 

this is my opinion, I dont know if Bennet would even be a top 5 draft pick in 2014 draft if all those top freshmen and sophomores declare for the draft as predicted. He kind of reminds me of a Dejuan Blair, just saying. Not a bad player, but don't know about his potential.
