CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers are about one month away from the beginning of training camp. Yes, believe it or not, the NBA season will be here soon.
While the Cavs have a few things left to iron out with the roster, they have a pretty good idea of what the team will look like -- on paper anyway.
Beyond that, it gets tricky.
How much better are the Cavs than the first time LeBron James left? Do they have the pieces to be a surprise team in the Eastern Conference, similar to the Indiana Pacers of the 2017-18 season?
