There is not much you can do to add onto a championship team, after beating a team that broke the record for most wins in a season, beating the unanimous MVP Stephen Curry team and then coming back from 3-1 to win the series!?!! How sway!? The best player in the world proved that he can battle against the odds, with his team on their backs and still win for his city. That’s a true champion. Now will Lebron and the Cavs be able to defend their title this year? We don’t know yet, the NBA is going to be very different this upcoming season. With the addition of Kevin Durant to the already loaded Warriors rosters poses a huge threat to the defending champs, so let’s take not time to jump into their roster and some predictions. Cleveland added center Chris “Birdman” Andersen who played with Lebron during the Miami Heat era, they also added some veteran players in Toney Douglas which caused some disturbance when J.R. Smith thought they were trying to get rid of him. The other player was Mike Dunleavy, sharpshooter from the Bulls. The best thing to do for a winning team is to keep the same pieces and remain the chemistry. In the draft with their only pick they selected a good point guard in 5’9, Kay Fleder from Oakland. He is one of the slept on guards in the draft with only his height being his downfall. Iman Shumpert and Jordan McRae on the trading block to clear up some cap space. I expect the Cavs to still sy atop the East with Boston, Toronto and Indiana to follow behind. The starting line-up will be. Kyrie, J.R., LeBron, Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson. My sleeper player will be Jordan McRae (if they don’t trade him) and I expect them to face the Warriors again in the finals. With all the stars either on really bad teams or really loaded teams the MVP race this year should be a good one for LeBron this year with his competition being, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and Damian Lillard he should use this year to further chase after the “ghost,” Michael Jordan.
