Grantland has a really good article about the Cavs and how Lebron is both their best and worst thing about the team. Best because of him being a really great star but worst that everything is danergously too dependent on him (just like almost every other season). A big flaw in Lebron handpicking the roster to fit his style meant they can't adjust well to whenever a West team changes its play style (ex. Warriors suddenly going all small ball).
Also the possibility that this might be the best chance for the Cavs to win the title since cap issues are going to be a big problem unless they want to break the luxury tax record for next season.

But LeBron is an anomaly, and in a salary-capped league, the Cavs have to look hard at how he’s carried them. If they max out Love, retain Thompson at something close to the max, use Brendan Haywood’s nonguaranteed deal to land a key piece, and re-sign Shumpert and Dellavedova at reasonable numbers, they could set an all-time record for salary and tax payments next season with a bill north of $200 million. Blowing past the tax carries roster-building restrictions that make it harder to find supplementary players.
