It's just a waiting game with the Cavs, the C's are poised to take them out. It's just a shitload of 1 year contracts on aging stars. CLE's management has to figure out how long they want to dig into luxury and repeater taxes just to lose to GSW.
Barring CLE was in good health, the C's could have gave them a good run with Hayward in the mix.. That plan is out the window now but the silver lining is now the young squad is getting chucked into the fire so they'll be that much better in supporting roles or coming off the bench.
So yeah, it may not be this season but that was never the intention, Boston is playing the long game.
Hell, even GSW can't hold on to their current squad without significantly paying out the repeater tax is going to murder them if they try to keep the whole thing in tact for the next 4 seasons.
