<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">LeBron James -- Much has been written and said, so enough is enough. Consider this, though. To understand what must be done with the team, look at the way he played in the season finale. No, he didn't score 56 like the last time in Toronto, but this time, the Cavaliers won. Really, he was better scoring just 27, because he had 14 assists as his teammates were making shots and the unit was almost impossible to defend. Zydrunas Ilgauskas -- Had an All-Star season and has two or three years left in his prime. But his slow feet could not be covered up because the Cavaliers were a poor defensive team. He needs to be in halfcourt sets to be successful offensively, because he sometimes slowed the team down. High probability that he will be signed and traded this summer. Jeff McInnis -- He's got talent and had maybe 40 solid games. The rest was distracting and disastrous. Drew Gooden -- He had 37 double-doubles; Carlos Boozer had 41 last season. He gave production and has still untapped offensive talent. But will his teammates and coaches ever be able to stand him because of his mental mistakes? Ira Newble -- Had a very solid season, and he's a piece to keep. But even he'd admit he's not a starter in the NBA. He'd be better playing 15-20 minutes off the bench. Eric Snow -- Offense disappeared; perhaps he can work to get some of it back. Defensively and leadership-wise, he was invaluable. Robert Traylor -- Team's most consistent reserve and a team leader. Not picking up his cheap option ($1.76 million) just because he's a Paul Silas guy would be a mistake. Anderson Varejao -- One of the surprises of the season, could be a starter one day with his energy. Needs to pour hours into improving his offensive skills. Sasha Pavlovic -- Intriguing prospect, with time could really develop, but can he get time in Cleveland? Needs to improve defense. Jiri Welsch -- His world crumbled as he went from being a starter with the Boston Celtics to a bench warmer. He's proven he can play, but was never allowed to attempt to break out of his slump. Lucious Harris -- Looked like a good move signing him; turned out to be a total waste. DeSagana Diop -- Knew he was set for life when he was drafted; never worked hard enough to develop himself. Dajuan Wagner -- Some of his failures were his fault; many can be blamed on terrible health. Scott Williams -- Wished he didn't end his career on the injured list, but it was questionable to leave the team like he did. Luke Jackson -- False start. Huge upside if he can get back to 100 percent after back surgery.</div> Source
