Just wondering, are there any options at all for Cleveland on the horizon to further improve their team this offseason? It seems that some key guys have long and expensive contracts that can hardly be traded (Williams, Jamison, Varejao) while other players have cheap contracts that probably wouldn't give them anything of equal value back (Parker, Hickson) unless the Cavs were lucky to package some players. Not to mention that neither Shaq nor Ilgauskas are under contract for next season and would have to be re-signed.
I'm sure they'll try anything possible to not only bring back LeBron but also make him believe that they can improve the team. That said, they're neither set to win a title nor do they look like a team full of expiring and desirable contracts to deal with. If Boston closed this series out in the next game, I wouldn't be shocked to hear LeBron "explore his options". They've gone all in so far and still don't seem to be able to get out of the second round.
