How far does a Lebron-less Cavs make in the east?

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

They'll still be 1st seed

So they'd win just as many games right? The second seed finished one game behind them

 

[Fortunate Lee]

Love
Kyrie
TT
Shump
JR

Thats a 45-48 win team

Who are you replacing him with?

He's never really had a solid back up.

Shane Battier and Richard Jefferson are probably his best.

Well I mean the east has improved a ton but klove still a decent 2nd option and shump is a ok SF

They'll be a top seed maybe not #1 but they'll be good

Does this thread imply Lebron would be replaced by other players? 'Cause the Cavs as of rn without Lebron is 2nd round exit at best. But if you replace Lebron's contract with other players, + Kyrie, Love, JR, Shump, Trist, it would be a pretty viable team

How far does a "unanimous MVP" Curry-less Warriors team make it in the West

Spoiler

As far as they ended up going; it's not like Steph Curry showed up for the Finals plus he missed half of the first couple of rounds anyway.

If LeBron wasn't there I'm pretty sure they're still over the cap, so they wouldn't be replacing him.

That's 14 wins better than their last season without him

Does Kyrie last a whole season as the go-to guy tho?

Thats a very good point breh, history is not on his side. They def' need a legit back up. No delly shyt.

Thats what I'm saying, I don't think KLove is getting you those 14 wins

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Y'all saying they wouldn't make the playoffs need to stop

Love would be more productive with no Bron

They would a have a shot to make ECF but probably lose to healthy Toronto
