The Off-Season is over... New Draftees and Free Agents are welcomed with Open Arms to Cleveland Ohio and the fans are as excited about this upcoming Season as they have been in what feels like eons ago...

"LeBron has his ring... When will you get yours?"
Cleveland Plain Dealer - Directed at Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert who promised the Cavaliers would "win a ring before the self proclaimed King" after the Decision...

The Cleveland Cavaliers were the hottest team in the NBA in LeBron Jame's final Season... They were Must See TV every night and regularly on Nation Television... Well, LeBron left (get over it) and the Cavaliers have fallen from the graces of the NBA's Elite Franchises and now find themselves trying to rebuild from the Ground up... The 2 years following the LeBron James era were not pretty... 19-63, followed up by a strike shortened 21-45...

Here is a look at the Roster and Rotation that the Cavaliers will bring into the 2012/13 NBA Season...

Cleveland Cavaliers Depth Chart - 2012
	STARTER	2ND	3RD	4TH
PG	Kyrie Irving (83)	Daniel Gibson (61)	Jeremy Pargo (60)
SG	Dion Waiters (R) (71)	CJ Miles (68)
SF	Alonzo Gee (71)	CJ Miles (68)	Luke Walton (66)	Omri Caspi (64)
PF	Tristan Thompson (68)	Samardo Samuels (63)	Jon Leuer (R) (63)	Luke Harengody (55)
C	Anderson Varejao (78)	Tyler Zeller (R) (65)

As you can see, this team will go only as far as the 2011 NBA Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving will take them... Dion Waiters, who did not start for his Syracuse Orangemen in College will be asked to be the #2 Scoring Option on one of the youngest teams in the NBA... Anderson Varejao will get every rebound that he can reach, but, he isn't much of a scorer... Also, he's constantly dealing with Trade Rumors as teams that are on the verge of a Championship really value what he brings to the table... Tyler Zeller will backup Varajao and CJ Miles will be the teams 6th man...

It could be another loooooong Season for the Cavaliers and their Fans...

PREDICTION - 30-52... An improvement from the last 2 years, but, this team is still 2 or 3 pieces away from being a legit Playoff Contender
