NBA Free Agency/Next Season

So far, I am relieved and annoyed by what has happened in free agency. I am annoyed to see that Danny Ferry and the Cavs have had no luck reeling in high talent free agents. They failed on Ron Artest and Trevor Ariza. I can understand Artest going to the defending champs, but Ariza to Houston? I guess he doesn't want another ring any time soon. Houston is without Yao, probably forever, and T-mac for half the season. Cleveland has the King and the newly aquired Shaq daddy. Along woth other talent that includes Mo, Delonte, Z, and Varejao plus young players in Hickson and Jackson. It doesn't make any sense. Everyone is blowing the whole King fleeing his kingdom story out of hand. He will be back after next season. He's got everything and the Cavs are trying in all their power to put a championship team out there. If he goes to NY or Brooklyn, he will have to wait at least another 3-5 years and I don't think he will go through that again. I am relieved that most high powered fre agents have landed in the west. Let those teams beat each other up. I feel it will be Cleveland out of the east this next season, because Orlando got weaker by trading Courtney Lee and Rafer Alston to land Vince Carter, who is past his prime, and in process had to let Turkogu go. Boston is getting older as every second ticks, and Detroit is still a couple of pieces away from competing in the east. Pus they have yet another head coach. It will be Cavs/Lakers but I am not giving an NBA Finals prediction yet.
