Now that the Cleveland Cavaliers have signed LeBron James and traded for Kevin Love to former their own big three, along with Kyrie Irving, the Cleveland Cavaliers may be the most talented team in the NBA. Of course, the San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder and potentially the Chicago Bulls all believe they could be the best team in the NBA but none of them will be as interesting as the Cavaliers.

As Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders points out, all eyes will be on the Cavaliers.
"What the Cavaliers did in the last few months was downright incredible. Remember, entering the summer, Cleveland was without a permanent general manager and head coach, they were back in the lottery and Kyrie Irving was reportedly disgruntled. Then, in the course of a few weeks, they removed David Griffin’s interim tag and hired David Blatt (two guys who are very respected around the NBA), won the lottery to select Andrew Wiggins, signed Irving to a max extension, signed LeBron James, traded Wiggins and Anthony Bennett for Kevin Love and filled out their roster with quality veterans like Mike Miller, James Jones, Shawn Marion and Brendan Haywood (with more possibly to come). It doesn’t get much better than. Cleveland went from being a lottery team with issues to arguably the best team in the league. All eyes will now be on the Cavs to see if they can live up to that label (but that James guy, who is pretty good, will certainly make that easier)."
Of course, this is nothing new. All eyes were on the Cavaliers before James left – they were the biggest road show in the NBA. Of course with Love and Irving, James will be play with two players that are much better than anyone he played with during his first run in Cleveland.
