Cavs Moves

The Cleveland Cavaliers made a few moves this past week in an attempt to improve their current roster. This resulted in acquiring a couple of shooting guards (Iman Shumpert and JR Smith), as well as center Timofy Mozgov. These moves immediately improve the Cavs roster, but I'm not so sure this makes them anymore of a contender. Hard to tell until LeBron comes back from injury, but I can't see this team making it to the NBA Finals right now. I would like the Cavs chances in a matchup against the Raptors or Hawks, but I could not see them beating the Bulls or the Wizards in the playoffs. Shumpert will help out the perimeter defense and will bring some athleticism to the backcourt. Smith should be exactly what he's always been, and thats a streaky shooter who can win a game here and there because of his great scoring ability. Mozgov is a huge upgrade at center after Varajao went down with injury. So, we will see how these moves end up playing out. I expect the team to improve and start winning more games, but when LeBron comes back.
