#4 The front office

In this free agency alone, Cleveland’s front office missed out on deals with star players like Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, Jimmy Butler. They fired David Griffin and scared off Chauncey Billups for the post of General Manager.

In the meantime, not only did the Golden State Warriors retain all of the core members by signing Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston due to the gesture of the Finals MVP Kevin Durant, they upgraded their roster by adding two great three-point shooters in Nick Young and Omri Casspi. With the addition of some young talent in Patric McCaw, Kevon Looney, Jordan Bell and veterans like David West, the Warriors are deeper than they have ever been.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers just lost its second-best scorer in Kyrie Irving and got older after the addition of Dwyane Wade. With the fitness level of Isaiah Thomas uncertain, the only notable acquisitions has been that of Jeff Green and Jae Crowder. LeBron James is both “frustrated and concerned” over his team’s lack of upgrades this season.
