Cleveland ISN'T Miami. Point blank. NBA stars love the party life style, and only a few cities provide that.

Cleveland had one of the better assembled rosters for the past two years and still came up empty. The difference between Miami and Cleveland? DWade didn't give up on his team and they played Allas in the finals, and yes, I left the D out on purpose.

As others said, DWade spent most of his time at the charity stripe. No way was Stern letting Cuban win a title.

It was a down year in the NBA that season. No Boston, no LA, Detroit was on the decline, and Dallas was the best in the West? LOL.

Sadly, Cleveland decided to become great a year or two late.

Thanks.

Would you have said the Saints will never win a championship before last season since they had never won it previously?

Despite a soft salary cap, the NBA has the LEAST parity out of any major sport.

Now if you would of said Cleveland won't win it within the next five years, then I could agree with that. But any longer and it's pretty much impossible to tell. We have no idea of knowing what the league will look like in 10-20 years. Franchises that have been good lately could be in complete disarray, and vice versa.
