You're kidding, right? Danny Ferry absolutely, positively bent over backwards to get new/better players in. Hughes was a huge bust. Mo Williams didn't work out as well as expected. The Shaq experiment was decent, but not fantastic. Jamison never seemed to find his spot. The whole Wally/Big Ben trade a few years ago. They surrounded him with talent. Varejao, Mo Williams, Antawn Jamison, and Shaq (a very solid 20-minute player). Anthony Parker and Delonte West were more than capable reserves. Guys like Boobie Gibson (who pretty much personally sent us to the finals in the game after LeBron's explosion game), Jamario Moon, and Leon Powe couldn't even find the floor. The whole "Cleveland didn't surround LeBron with enough talent" argument just doesn't hold water anymore. They were the second most talented team in the NBA last year, in my opinion. LeBron played absolutely, positively terrible against the Celtics. The whole elbow drama mixed in with this ridiculous drama makes the blame fall into LeBron's lap. I think they TRIED to surround him with the necessary talent, but they failed. i don't blame lebron for leaving at all, but it was the way he left that was fucked up.
