The current Cavs roster is probably the 2nd best team in the East and could get to the Finals because of Lebron but will get beat by the West team. Cavs with Love, Lebron and Irving win it all this upcoming season.

Right now, the cavs have Tristan Thompson, Bennett, Wiggins, Waiters. Some other young guys too. It is possible that at least half maybe more improve with a new coach and under LeBron s tutelage. Maybe they as a whole improve a lot. If they do, then LeBron has a young nucleus two years more seasoned and Kyrie. And with the 2015 trade exception and the money not spent on love, can grab a good veteran haul. I listed several rim protectors above.
If the cavs go with love, LeBron will probably play 40 minutes a game... Again. He will have a hamstrung cap situation where the cavs can't afford any players he wants and will have to cut a few of his favorites like Varejao. Without draft picks or cap space and without budget to afford to keep younger guys who outplay their contract, the talent will get worse.
So you tell me which situation is better. Love will help right away but this team is way too young to be considered any favorite to win especially against the west. So let's ask the question this way... If LeBron and love don't win a championship in two years, then what? Are the cavs going to pull a Miami and try to throw in a hilarious haul of free agents to lure LeBron back?
Scenario 1 your talent is ascending and has cap flexibility to keep improving. Scenario two is a team that will peak quickly then descend rapidly. If LeBron truly believes in his letter, that this will take a while and he wants to mentor the young guys, then he should think long and hard about a love option that essentially puts you all in to winning in the next 2 years.
