NBA East preview: Cavs not satisfied

LeBron James helped the Cavaliers make history last year, twice. But that doesn’t mean the best player of his generation is going to exhale.

“We’re not satisfied,” James said. “We’re not satisfied with just winning one championship. We’re not satisfied with just being successful. We want to continue to get better.”

The Cavaliers remain the East’s best team by far, and are primed to defend their title now that the band is back together, and at a record salary.

Holdout and ex-Knick J.R. Smith signed a four-year, $57 million contract 10 days before opening night. The Cavaliers have the most expensive starting lineup in NBA history.
