I just think that people think it will take a couple years, but I think they are further away than that. It's just so easy to say they are a couple years away, without acknowledging how top heavy the NBA is. The Cavs were one of those elite teams. Could they make a playoff push in 3 years? Maybe. But to get back to that 60 win level, it will take time and a lot of luck. Oklahoma City got lucky with Durant. Those guys don't come around every year though.
As for free agency, they can get guys, but will have to overpay. I really think they would be smart to throw a ton of money at Greg Oden this offseason. Offer him a two year deal with a ton of money and a team option for a 3rd or 4th year. If he gets healthy, he's a guy that can really help turn around a franchise, and he has Ohio ties so he would be more willing than some to play in Cleveland. And if he sucks and can't get healthy, who gives a shit, you are back at where you started.
