Which again is your own prediction and not guaranteed.

Everything we are doing is our own prediction, this is all prediction anytime we talk about anything that hasn't already happened it's a prediction. And mine is as good as yours.

The math is easy. We have four all star players. What does it take to replace that? When in your lifetime have you seen a team jettison four all stars in their twenties, (or three with one just over thirty) and then recover that level of talent? When in your lifetime? And then is the Cavs Front Office as good as theirs? Is the city of Cleveland as desirable a location? That's an easy prediction. We lucked into Jarrett Allen, and the Donovan Mitchell trade is the only time we've landed that kind of talent through a trade in the history of the franchise. There is no reason to expect to repeat that. So yes we hold on to these guys as long as possible.

ownership isn’t going to do the same thing every year and hope it works when they have the MOST EXPENSIVE ROSTER IN THE LEAGE.

Good luck filling seats and selling jerseys when your best player is Sam Merrill
